Bill overview
The Stop Illegal Fishing Act aims to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing) by authorizing the President to impose sanctions on foreign persons and vessels involved in such activities. It establishes a sanctions program, including asset blocking and visa restrictions, and requires regular reporting on enforcement efforts. The bill seeks to protect vulnerable coastal communities and strengthen maritime security globally by leveraging existing authorities within the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
