Bill overview
This bill aims to strengthen enforcement against illegal fishing of red snapper and tuna by requiring the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Department of Commerce to develop a standardized method for determining the origin of seafood. The goal is to provide law enforcement agencies with a tool to better identify and combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing practices. It also authorizes the Department of Defense to provide technical assistance to other nations’ maritime forces in combating IUU fishing.
