Bill Intelligence
This bill aims to address the issue of illegal fishing by imposing sanctions on foreign individuals or entities engaged in illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities. Specifically, the bill targets those who own, operate, or work on vessels involved in IUU fishing, and it includes provisions for asset blocking and restrictions on visas and entry to the United States for those engaged in such activities. The bill highlights the negative impact of IUU fishing on global fisheries, marine ecosystems, and coastal communities, and emphasizes the need for the United States to take action against this practice.
