IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING
Watch for NOAA/Fisheries Service rulemaking details to see if 'robust harvest' directives loosen protections for federally listed shark or pinniped species beyond angler-focused intent.
Why This Score
This executive order concerns fisheries/wildlife management policy with no bearing on elections, courts, civil rights, or institutional capture—driver scores are all zero, yielding a near-zero constitutional damage score. It has modest meme/media appeal (unusual wildlife policy, angler interest) but lacks the outrage intensity, timing correlation, or strategic pivot pattern needed for a high distraction score, landing in low-salience territory.
