Stop Illegal Fishing Act

This bill authorizes U.S. sanctions against foreign individuals, entities, and vessels involved in illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU fishing), particularly targeting China as the primary perpetrator. It requires freezing assets and denying visas to those who own, captain, or operate vessels engaged in IUU fishing, while mandating annual reports on sanctions implementation. Exceptions include humanitarian aid, national security activities, and compliance with international agreements. The policy aims to protect global fisheries, coastal communities, and marine ecosystems from harmful fishing practices.
