Billfish Conservation Act Bill Passed

The IGFA celebrates the signing of House Bill 4528 into law by President Donald J. Trump last week on Thursday, August 2, 2018. This legislation amends the Billfish Conservation Act (BCA) of 2012, by stating that no billfish can be entered into trade or sold in the continental United States.

Amendment to Billfish Conservation Act Advances

A legislative amendment to the angler-backed Billfish Conservation Act has cleared congress and now only needs the President's signature in order to become law, which will solidify the original intent of the Billfish Conservation Act so that no marlin, sailfish or spearfish can be sold in the continental United States - regardless of where it is caught.
