Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The SEAS Act of 2024 requires the federal government to develop a comprehensive strategy for increasing U.S. interagency cooperation with African partner countries to counter illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The bill mandates that an interagency working group submit an annex to the existing National 5-Year Strategy for Combating IUU Fishing, focusing on industrial fishing off Africa's coasts and identifying at least four African "Priority Coastal States" for targeted counter-IUU efforts. The strategy must address maritime labor abuses, enhance African countries' maritime domain awareness and enforcement capabilities, and ensure deployment of U.S. Coast Guard and other federal personnel to African embassies to support these efforts.
