A critical vote in a House Committee on Thursday unanimously passed H.R. 774, the “Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing Enforcement Act of 2015.” It’s goal is to stop foreign and illegal fishing in US waters. The bill provides for increased enforcement activity for the Coast Guard, which now, stops, seizes, arrests and fines Mexican fishermen poaching in Texas and U.S. waters. That activity is almost a daily event for Coast Guard bases in South Padre Island, Port Aransas and Port O-Conner
