Develops a methodology for identifying seafood origin to combat illegal fishing.

The Illegal Red Snapper and Tuna Enforcement Act mandates the development of a standard methodology for identifying the country of origin of seafood to support enforcement against illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. This includes conducting pilot studies on red snapper and tuna. The Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the U.S. Coast Guard, is authorized to provide maritime technical assistance to combat illegal fishing and transnational organized crime. The Act also requires a report to Congress on the methodology's development and potential alternatives.
