The executive order instructs the Secretary of the Interior to provide “recommendations for such Presidential actions, legislative proposals, or other actions” to carry out the policy set forth in the order. On April 26, President Trump issued an executive order, Review of Designations Under the Antiquities Act, calling for a review of national monument designations “made without adequate public outreach or coordination”, or those over 100,000 acres designated since 1996. As long as they remain protected as national monuments, each of the places will be kept just the way they are today and continue to provide world-class coldwater habitat and fishing opportunities for future generations. These are just a few of the reasons Trout Unlimited supports the Antiquities Act and the ability for presidents to use the act to designate national monuments.
