Outreach Event on the Seafood Import Monitoring Program

About this event

NOAA Fisheries is holding a stakeholder session on the Seafood Import Monitoring Program to gather feedback from industry and find ways to reduce operational and administrative burdens. This is part of the agency’s planned reform of the programme, which will look at risk-based screening, technological modernisation, how the required data is used in practice, and upgrades to the International Fisheries Trade Permits system to improve user experience and reduce downtime for industry.

Stakeholders who can’t attend can send written comments to SIMPsupport@noaa.gov.
