U.S. would block assets and deny visas for foreign individuals and ships involved in illegal fishing.
This bill would require the U.S. government to punish foreign individuals and ships involved in illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. It would block their assets in the U.S. and deny them entry, creating a new program to enforce these sanctions. This changes how the U.S. directly confronts harmful fishing practices.
Today, no specific law requires the President to impose mandatory sanctions on foreign individuals or vessels solely for illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. If this bill becomes law, the President would be required to create a dedicated sanctions program. This program would block assets and deny visas for foreign persons and vessels that knowingly engage in these harmful fishing practices.
