NOAA Fisheries — NOAA Fisheries (National Marine Fisheries Service)
Parent: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration / U.S. Department of Commerce. Domains in this note: fisheries.noaa.gov, noaa.gov.
What they regulate
NOAA Fisheries (NMFS) manages U.S. marine fisheries, protected resources, and related permits under NOAA/Commerce. Seafood and marine product desks may also face CBP, FDA, and state rules. An index row is not a fishing permit or broker endorsement. Indexed ≠ endorsed.
Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.
How to verify
- NOAA Fisheries home — Fisheries management, permits, and science — not an FMC or customs-broker licence.
- Permits / seafood context — Prefer live fisheries.noaa.gov permit and import pages.

Questions this page answers
Does NMFS license seafood brokers?
No. NMFS manages fisheries and related federal permits. Commercial introductions still need the correct trade, food-safety, and state authorities.
NMFS vs USCG vs FMC?
NMFS is fisheries/resource management; USCG is safety/security at sea; FMC regulates ocean common carriage/OTIs. Different layers.
Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?
No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
