An on-demand video of the 2026 Seafood Expo North America (SENA) panel "Federal Policy, Regulatory, and Litigation Changes Impacting the Fisheries and Aquaculture Industries" is available free for SeafoodSource Premium members and for USD 500 (EUR 425) to non-members through the Conference Program On-Demand.
Featuring Robert Smith, Tim Hobbs, and Darrell Conner of Boston-based lawfirmK&L Gates, the panel was advertised as follows:
With a new Congress, a new administration, and new precedents being set by the courts, there are numerous changes occurring in the U.S. that will have practical impacts on companies ranging from longstanding interpretations being overturned, regulations being repealed, and new policies and regulations being implemented.
Combined with one of the largest turnovers of personnel at key agencies, regulatory challenges continue to grow. This presentation will consider the federal policy, regulatory, and litigation implications of changes being made by all three branches of the U.S. government – legislative, executive, and judicial – and how the fisheries and aquaculture industry should be prepared to respond accordingly.
The more than 30 individual presentations from this year's SENA featured exclusive information and insights from seafood industry experts on a range of topics, including sustainability solutions and how the sector can best navigate current economic, energy, and trade policies.
