AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Commerce, working with other agencies, to create and publish a list of foreign fishing vessels, fleets, and owners involved in illegal, unreported, or unregulated (IUU) fishing or fishing that uses forced labor. Vessels on the list would be barred from U.S. ports, U.S. vessels could not service them, seafood they catch or carry could not be imported, and the vessels and cargo could be seized. The bill would allow the Treasury to block property and the government to deny visas to foreign people and companies tied to IUU fishing or trade in endangered fish. It would also direct the Coast Guard to increase observation of suspected vessels, require several studies and reports, and authorize $20 million per year from 2025 through 2030 for the vessel list program.
