## Resource

New technology could reshape whale conservation while opening opportunities for anglers nationwide. As summer kicks into gear, this week’s Sportsmen’s Voice Roundup covers major developments affecting hunters, anglers, and outdoor recreationists across the country. Chris Horton, Senior Director of Fisheries Policy at the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation, joins the conversation to break down a significant federal review of North Atlantic Right Whale vessel speed regulations. Learn why recreational anglers and offshore boaters have been engaged in this debate for years, how emerging marine technology could improve whale conservation efforts, and why many believe innovation offers a better path forward than broad boating restrictions. The discussion explores advancements in marine electronics, acoustic monitoring, satellite imagery, artificial intelligence, and other tools that could help boaters avoid whale interactions while maintaining access to productive fishing grounds. Listeners will also gain insight into the broader challenges facing marine fisheries management and how conservation policy continues to evolve alongside technology. The roundup also highlights recent legislative victories for sportsmen and women, including updates on Sunday hunting opportunities in Maryland and new public hunting land protections in South Carolina through no-net-loss legislation.
