Billfish Conservation Act
The Billfish Conservation Act aims to protect large, highly valued fish like marlins, sailfish, and spearfishes that are often caught illegally or unsustainably. It prohibits the import, export, and sale of billfish products in the United States unless they are caught legally and sustainably. The law seeks to prevent overfishing and illegal fishing practices, ensuring these majestic fish populations remain healthy and abundant for future generations. It also supports international efforts to conserve billfish by promoting responsible fishing and trade practices globally.
