(b) Findings The Congress finds that— (1) dolphins and other marine mammals are frequently killed in the course of tuna fishing operations in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and high seas driftnet fishing in other parts of the world; (2) it is the policy of the United States to support a worldwide ban on high seas driftnet fishing, in part because of the harmful effects that such driftnets have on marine mammals, including dolphins; and (3) consumers would like to know if the tuna they purchase is falsely labeled as to the effect of the harvesting of the tuna on dolphins. (c) Definitions For purposes of this section— (1) the terms ‘‘driftnet’’ and ‘‘driftnet fish- ing’’ have the meanings given those terms in section 4003 of the Driftnet Impact Moni- toring, Assessment, and Control Act of 1987 (16 U.S.C. 1822 note); (2) the term ‘‘eastern tropical Pacific Ocean’’ means the area of the Pacific Ocean
