so, this is being really thought of as a low-cost and efficient solution to managing marine resources because all over the world, the oceans are overfished. small-scale fishers have very, very few rights. they have the same problems.

related crimes to come forward, congress can increase enforcement and leverage existing federal resources. marine wildlife species often go overlooked but are increasingly targeted by poachers, traffickers and illegal fishing across the pacific, we are increasingly seeing foreign fishing fleets forcing vulnerable people smuggled out of their countries and taking illegal narcotics as stimulants to fish around the clock without risk out of feare for their very lives. these seafood products are largely untraceable and without help from whistleblowers could end up in your grocery store aisle, on the menus at your favorite restaurant, or on your dinner table. whistleblowers can provide actionable intelligence needed to prosecute these crimes and advance american leadership in illuminating the global trade in traffic, wildlife and illegal seafood products harvested with slave labor. we can do all of this with existing federal resources at no cost to taxpayers so again, i want to thank the national whistleblower center for highlighting these critical issues. these are concrete steps that we can take to
