Bill 119 s 283, also known as the Seafood Import Monitoring Program Authorization Act, aims to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing by requiring the Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to develop a standard methodology for identifying the country of origin of seafood.
The bill seeks to enhance enforcement efforts against IUU fishing by ensuring that seafood products entering the United States are accurately labeled with their country of origin. By establishing a standardized methodology for identifying the country of origin of seafood, the bill aims to improve traceability in the seafood supply chain and make it easier to detect and prevent illegally sourced seafood from entering the US market.
In addition to addressing IUU fishing, the bill also aims to support sustainable fishing practices and promote transparency in the seafood industry. By requiring accurate labeling of seafood products, consumers can make more informed choices about the seafood they purchase, and seafood producers can be held accountable for their sourcing practices.
Overall, Bill 119 s 283 seeks to strengthen enforcement efforts against IUU fishing, promote sustainable fishing practices, and enhance transparency in the seafood industry through the development of a standard methodology for identifying the country of origin of seafood.
