Wild USA Seafood Act of 2023

The Wild USA Seafood Act of 2023, also known as Bill 118 s 2182, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to promote and support the domestic seafood industry in the United States by increasing access to wild-caught seafood products.

One of the key provisions of the Wild USA Seafood Act is the establishment of a certification program for wild-caught seafood products. This program would ensure that seafood products labeled as "wild-caught" are indeed sourced from US waters and meet certain sustainability and quality standards. This certification would help consumers make more informed choices about the seafood they purchase and support American fishermen and seafood producers.

Additionally, the bill includes measures to streamline the permitting process for commercial fishing operations and improve access to fishing grounds for US fishermen. This would help to boost the domestic seafood industry and create more opportunities for American fishermen to thrive. Overall, the Wild USA Seafood Act of 2023 aims to support the domestic seafood industry, promote sustainability in fishing practices, and provide consumers with greater access to high-quality, responsibly sourced seafood products. It is currently being debated in Congress and may undergo further revisions before potentially becoming law.
