Obama admin unveils ambitious plan to combat illegal fishing, seafood fraud

摘要

The United States is poised to tackle illegal fishing and seafood fraud on a broader scale than ever before, with the release today of a set of recommendations that calls for everything from "boat-to-plate" traceable fish to international enforcement. Released by a presidential task force, the recommendations are the first step in what ocean advocates hope is a sustained effort to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. While the United States strictly regulates its own fisheries, the rest of the world has a mixed track record -- and provides almost 90 percent of the seafood Americans eat.
