More context
On Oct. 23, President Donald J. Trump’s administration unveiled the America First Seafood Strategy and launched Seafood.gov. NOAA Fisheries said the strategy follows the president’s order restoring American seafood competitiveness and is a coordinated federal plan. It aims to expand sustainable domestic production, modernize infrastructure, improve market opportunities for harvesters and processors, and promote fair competition in U.S. and global markets. Among the actions, federal agencies will establish a voluntary “U.S.-Caught Seafood” designation for products harvested by American commercial fishermen on U.S.-flagged vessels under U.S. fisheries management. NOAA says the designation complements existing country-of-origin labeling and helps consumers distinguish U.S.-managed seafood from foreign-origin products. The White House said the actions have unlocked billions of dollars in economic value and secured vital domestic supply chains.
