Combats illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing globally by imposing sanctions and listing violators.
The Fighting Foreign Illegal Seafood Harvests Act of 2025 aims to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing) and fishing involving forced labor. It mandates the creation of a list of foreign vessels, fleets, and beneficial owners involved in IUU fishing. These entities are subject to sanctions, including bans on entering U.S. ports and territorial seas, and their cargoes are subject to seizure and forfeiture. The Act also prohibits U.S. vessels from servicing listed foreign vessels, except in emergencies.
