SEC. 14. REPORT ON COUNTERING ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, 
AND UNREGULATED FISHING IN OCEANIA. 
(a) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) many countries of the Oceania region de-
pend on commercial tuna fisheries as a critical com-
ponent of their economies; 
(2) the Government of the People’s Republic of 
China has used its licensed fishing fleet to exert 
greater influence in Oceania, but at the same time, 
its licensed fishing fleet is also a major contributor 
to illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (in 
this section referred to as ‘‘IUU fishing’’) activities;

(3) the sustainability of Oceania’s fisheries is 
threatened by IUU fishing, which depletes both com-
mercially important fish stocks and non-targeted 
species that help maintain the integrity of the ocean 
ecosystem; 
(4) IUU fishing puts pressure on protected spe-
cies of marine mammals, sea turtles, and sea birds, 
which also jeopardizes the integrity of the ocean eco-
system; 
(5) because IUU fishing goes unrecorded, the 
loss of biomass compromises the work of scientists 
to assess and model fishery stocks and advise man-
agers on sustainable catch levels; 
(6) beyond the damage to living marine re-
sources, IUU fishing also contributes directly to ille-
gal activity in the Oceania region, such as food 
fraud, smuggling, and human trafficking; 
(7) current approaches to IUU fishing enforce-
ment rely on established methods, such as vessel 
monitoring systems, logbooks maintained by govern-
ment fisheries enforcement authorities to record the 
catches landed by fishing vessels, and corroborating 
data on catches hand-collected by human observer 
programs;

(8) such established methods are imperfect be-
cause— 
(A) vessels can turn off monitoring sys-
tems and unlicensed vessels do not use them; 
and 
(B) observer coverage is thin and subject 
to human error and corruption; 
(9) maritime domain awareness technology so-
lutions for vessel monitoring have gained credibility 
in recent years and include systems such as observ-
ing instruments deployed on satellites, crewed and 
uncrewed air and surface systems, aircraft, and sur-
face vessels, as well as electronic monitoring systems 
on fishing vessels; 
(10) maritime domain awareness technologies 
hold the promise of significantly augmenting the 
current IUU fishing enforcement capacities; and 
(11) maritime domain awareness technologies 
offer an avenue for addressing key United States na-
tional interests, including those interests related 
to— 
(A) increasing bilateral diplomatic ties with 
key allies and partners in the Oceania region;
