## Resource

The National Fisheries Institute (NFI) and several seafood companies have settled their lawsuit over NOAA's recent Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) determinations. In this episode, SeafoodSource Executive Editor Chris Chase breaks down the settlement and its implications for the 240 foreign fisheries affected by the NOAA ruling. We then speak with Supreme Crab & Seafood CEO Troy Turkin to better understand how the import bans would have impacted U.S. crab importers and what stakeholders can do to support foreign fisheries ahead of NOAA's second review.
