The Anaconda Plan called for the blockade of all southern seaports and the control of the Mississippi.
The Anaconda Plan was Gen.Winfield Scott's strategic plan for the North, not for the South. It consisted of blockading southern seaports and capturing the river ports of the Mississippi River. The South did not have an articulated war policy. It is one of their greatest failings.
They are the same thing. The press drew a cartoon of an anaconda, to indicate slow strangulation, and the Union's original war-plan was then nicknamed the Anaconda Plan (or the Anaconda).

As part of the Anaconda Plan, the North blockaded the southern city seaports. This effectively prevented trade from overseas.

That was Winfield Scott, the General-in-Chief who was still in the chair in 1861, although far too old for the job. His long-term plan for the war was ridiculed as 'Scott's Anaconda' (slow strangulation) at a time when almost everyone else thought it would be a short and fairly bloodless war. Time would prove him right, and the Union did eventually put this sort of plan into effect.
