Answer to Question 1

A private land trust is a nonprofit organization that will accept either outright gifts of land or easements, which are arrangements in which the landowner gives up development rights into the future, but retains ownership of the parcel. The land trust may also purchase land to protect it from development.
Land trusts are proving to be a vital link in the preservation of ecosystem. The land trusts are serving the common desires of landowners and rural dwellers to preserve the sense of place that links the present to the past. At the same time, the undeveloped land remains in its natural state, sustaining the natural population and promising to do so into the future.

Answer to Question 2

The Magnuson-Stevens Act was amended in 1996 and again in 2006 to promote more sustainable fishing, including calling for better protection of habitat and promoting catch and release fishing.
