NOAA Fisheries works closely with fishing and seafood stakeholders to ensure resilient marine fisheries in the U.S. and to strengthen the seafood industry. Ultimately, our goals include expanding domestic seafood supply, leveling the playing field on trade, and modernizing policies and infrastructure for a more efficient seafood supply chain. During this session, participants will hear from NOAA leadership about the agency’s top priorities under the Biden-Harris Administration, including supporting economic and environmental resiliency of our coastal communities by providing the seafood industry with the critical resources needed for generating greater demand for U.S. seafood.

The game-changing traceability standards issued in 2020 by the Global Dialogue on Seafood Traceability (GDST) are rapidly gaining industry adherence and adoption around the world. At the same time, the relevance of GDST to compliance with emerging laws and regulations (including FSMA Sec. 204) is becoming increasingly clear. As the new standards continue to gain momentum, the GDST itself is also gaining strength as a major B2B platform to support the standards and grow the industry’s voice on issues of seafood traceability. Under the direction of a newly hired Executive Director with almost 30 years of seafood industry experience (Mr. Gregory Brown), the GDST is solidifying its independence and its organizational structure. This panel will mark the first public presentation of the new ED, and will include an update on GDST progress as well as important announcements about new GDST services and activities.
