The recent U.S. visa restrictions targeting individuals linked to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing represent more than a policy announcement—they signal a fundamental shift toward greater accountability, stronger evidence requirements, and increased scrutiny across seafood supply chains.
Join LRQA and industry experts as we explore what this means for seafood businesses and how organizations can move beyond compliance to build the visibility, worker engagement, and operational intelligence needed to demonstrate responsible sourcing in practice.
Why Attend?
Seafood supply chains are entering a new era of accountability.
For the first time, enforcement actions are extending beyond products and organizations to the individuals behind illicit activities.
