The Forage Fish Conservation Act of 2024 amends the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to establish comprehensive management standards for forage fish species—small fish that serve as a critical food source for larger marine animals and support ecosystem function. The bill requires the Secretary of Commerce to define forage fish within 12 months, directs regional fishery councils to identify unmanaged forage fish and prohibit new directed fisheries until impacts are evaluated, and mandates that annual catch limits for forage fish account for the dietary needs of predator species including marine mammals and birds. The bill also requires specific management measures for river herring and shad in Atlantic fisheries, including observer coverage on certain fishing vessels.
