Panama Gets US Aid To Avoid Red Card In Illegal Fishing Fight

Panama, which since 2019 has had a yellow card imposed by the European Union as a non-collaborative nation in the fight against illegal fishing, is one of five countries to receive technical and economic assistance from the United States to fight the scourge.

'Many countries wanted to be part of the program because it represents financial support to fight against the illegal practice,' said the administrator of the Aquatic Resources Authority of Panama (ARAP), Flor Torrijos.
