Blocks illegally caught seafood and forced labor products from entering the U.S.
This bill would create a public list of foreign vessels involved in illegal fishing or using forced labor. It would ban these vessels from U.S. ports and stop seafood caught or processed by them from being imported. The goal is to protect ocean health and human rights by targeting the sources of illegal fishing globally.
Today, illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing and seafood produced with forced labor can enter the U.S. market, harming ocean health and human rights. After this bill, the U.S. government would create a public "Black List" of foreign vessels and owners involved in these activities. These listed entities would be banned from U.S. ports and waters, and their seafood would be blocked from import, backed by potential financial sanctions and increased Coast Guard patrols.
