April 17, 2026 — The federal government is rolling out a new office aimed at making it easier for fishermen and seafood businesses to get help from Washington.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced it is creating an Office of Seafood, a first of its kind office aimed at better connecting seafood producers with federal programs and support.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke L. Rollins said in a statement the goal is to make it easier for fishermen, processors and aquaculture businesses to navigate government resources that haven’t always been easy to access.
