The purpose of this legislation, known as the SUSHI Act, is to create a standardized method for determining the country of origin of seafood. This is aimed at helping to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing practices. By establishing clear guidelines, the law seeks to enhance enforcement efforts against these harmful fishing activities. Key provisions of the law require the Under Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and the Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to work together to develop a method for identifying seafood origins.
