The FISH Act of 2025 creates a public blacklist of foreign fishing vessels, fleets, and owners tied to illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing or forced labor. Blacklisted vessels would be banned from U.S. ports, denied fuel and supplies from U.S. vessels, and barred from importing seafood into the U.S. Treasury could also impose sanctions like asset freezes and visa denials on those involved.
The bill targets foreign fishing companies, vessel owners, and countries linked to illegal or forced-labor fishing. U.S. seafood importers, processors, and agencies like NOAA, the Coast Guard, and Customs and Border Protection would also be affected.
Foreign vessels and companies tied to illegal fishing could lose access to U.S. ports, supplies, and markets. U.S. importers may face new restrictions or reporting requirements, and federal agencies would take on expanded enforcement duties.
