April 24, 2023 — Five U.S. senators have reintroduced the Fighting Foreign Illegal Seafood Harvest (FISH) Act, which would ban vessels involved in illegal fishing from U.S. ports and waters.
U.S. senators Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), and Roger Wicker (R-Mississippi) introduced the bill on 20 April, after having backed it in the previous congressional session in August 2022.
