The National Marine Fisheries Service finalized a Marine Mammal Protection Act review that will allow the annual renewal of permissions for the import of yellow fin tuna harvested in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean by Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Spain. The renewal is effective from April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2023. NMFS made a similar finding for Peru, but approved its renewal for a period of five years, effective from April 1, 2022, through March 31, 2027.
