Plain-English Summary
This bill strengthens enforcement against illegal fishing operations in U.S. waters and cracks down on seafood imports that come from illegal or unregulated fishing activities abroad. It aims to protect American fish populations and the livelihoods of U.S. commercial fishermen by making it harder for foreign vessels to illegally harvest seafood and sell it in American markets. The measure gives federal agencies more tools to track and block seafood products that don't meet legal harvesting standards.
