Silver Spring, MD September, 2020:

IBSS was awarded a Task Order with NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to provide foreign affairs and administrative services to the Office of International Affairs and Seafood Inspection (OIASI). OIASI works to level the playing field for U.S. seafood producers and fishermen as it works to maintain sustainable global resources through regulation, policy, seafood safety, and trade.

IBSS will deliver services that include:

• Advice and counsel in the implementation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA)
• Seafood Import Monitoring Program Support (SIMP)
• Development of an international public outreach & engagement plan
• Senior administrative support

As a trusted NOAA partner for more than 20 years, IBSS looks forward to continuing our ongoing service to NOAA Fisheries while supporting our goal of providing “tech for science.”
