IUU Fishing - One of the greatest challenges faced in the offshore fisheries sector!

llegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a global problem that undermines fisheries management efforts, threatens marine biodiversity, and is linked to criminal activities. It is now recognized as the top maritime security threat worldwide.
According to a 2021 report by MRAG Asia Pacific for the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA), the estimated value of tuna harvested or transshipped in Pacific tuna fisheries involving IUU fishing is over US$300 million (approximately US$333.49m) per year during the study period of 2017-2019. #StopIUUFishing
