The “Reimagining SIMP” workshops in February and May brought together over 75 stakeholders from the US government, the fishing industry, customs brokers, environmental and labour NGOs, and traceability technology providers to have an open and honest conversation about SIMP. The first workshop explored what a successful traceability-based import control program for seafood could look like and the second workshop explored how to optimize an improved and expanded SIMP. With a comprehensive summary of the discussion and key ideas raised during these two workshops, we ask, “what now?”
