Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses. Today I'll start off with a couple of questions for Mr. Zimmerman.

Mr. Zimmerman, you mentioned the NOAA system and tracking of illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries. I think you said it was restricted to 13 species. Is the current tracking system sufficient to address IUU fishing and illegal sales, or what are the gaps that need to be bridged to reduce that?
