Presidental Order on Recreational Fishing, what does it mean to MPAs?

Posted by Robert Pavia at October 24. 2008
President Bush recently amended an Clinton-era executive order on recreational fishing "in order to conserve, restore, and enhance aquatic systems to provide for increased recreational fishing opportunities nationwide."
.
The full executive order can be found at: http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=84518
.
The substance of the change is the following addition: "(d) ensuring that recreational fishing shall be managed as a sustainable activity in national wildlife refuges, national parks, national monuments, national marine sanctuaries, marine protected areas, or any other relevant conservation or management areas or activities under any Federal authority, consistent with applicable law;"
.
What are the implications of this change to marine protected area management, commercial fishing, and other recreational and commercial ocean uses?
