National Fisheries Institute is a mid-sized trade association that represents the seafood sector, connecting stakeholders from fishing vessels to restaurants. Its member companies supply fish and shellfish to American families and support a diverse supply chain. The institute advocates for sustainable ocean management and endorses the United Nations’ Principles for Responsible Fisheries. It also promotes public messaging about the health benefits of seafood and aligns with the U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommending Americans eat fish and shellfish twice a week. Based in Reston, Virginia, the organization positions itself within the fisheries industry as a facilitator of sound public policy and a marketplace that supports free trade, anchored by a commitment to sustainable practices. In April 2026, NFI announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture to expand collaboration through the USDA Office of Seafood, signaling ongoing efforts to strengthen ties with policymakers and regulators.
