• Monitored legislation and regulations related to the management and regulation of commercial fishing activity in the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, and Gulf of Alaska, including the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2010 for issues related to vessel replacement, vessel safety, and vessel liability; issues related to the Endangered Species Act.

Duration: April 1, 2010 to July 31, 2010

General Issues: Marine/Maritime/Boating/Fisheries

Spending: about $0 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)

It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.

Agencies lobbied since 2010: House of Representatives, Senate, Commerce, Dept of (DOC), Natl Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
