Plain-language change summary

The amendment adds text referencing the "Young Fishermen's Development Act" and clarifies that participants in the commercial fisheries of the United States and the Great Lakes are eligible for activities funded through grants. This change emphasizes inclusivity by explicitly mentioning participants from both the United States and the Great Lakes, which could potentially broaden the scope of support available under the program.
