SEC. __. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON COORDINATING MILITARY TRAINING
EXERCISES WITH FISHERIES.

It is the Sense of Congress that the Office of the
Secretary of Defense, or through its designee, should notify
and consider comments from the National Marine Fisheries
Service, affected state and tribal fisheries management
agencies, and appropriate fishing user groups as early as is
reasonably practicable when scheduling and selecting a
location for training exercises to minimize the impact on
subsistence, sport and commercial fisheries and to ensure the
long term health and availability of fish species and stocks
