Sally Yozell, Director of the Environmental Security Program at the Stimson Center, testified before the Congressional-Executive Commission on China on October 24, 2023 regarding the impacts of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. In her testimony, Ms. Yozell described how the consequences of IUU fishing ripple throughout increasingly complex supply chains, far beyond the point of harvest. Ms. Yozell offers specific solutions for United States to create a functional and effective seafood traceability system that is standardized, streamlined, and synchronized. She called on the United States government to chart a path forward to move the global seafood supply chain out of the shadows, emphasizing that a transparent seafood supply chain will benefit all.
