National Fisheries Institute Statement on Senate Markup of the FISH Act

Reston, VA – April 30, 2025 – We are pleased to see Senator Sullivan and his colleagues making progress on a responsible effort to address Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing. 

We strongly support the FISH Act legislation that works to actively address IUU concerns unlike the current Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) that NOAA itself has concluded, “does not prevent or stop IUU fish and fish products from entering U.S. commerce.”
