What it does
This measure requests the United States government to restrict swordfish imports unless and until there is a process by which a nation seeking to export swordfish or swordfish products to the United States provides reasonable proof of the effects on marine mammals of the commercial fishing technology used to obtain the swordfish or swordfish products, and the National Marine Fisheries Service receives that proof and determines that the proof demonstrates that the swordfish or swordfish products to be imported were not caught with commercial fishing technology that results in the incidental kill or incidental serious injury of marine mammals in excess of United States standards.
