Illegal fishing is now a bigger threat to the ocean than piracy
What happens at sea often remains invisible and outside the law. Despite a growing set of rules designed to regulate and manage the exploitation of the ocean, Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing (IUU) is rampant. It represents as much as 20% of global catch and the annual loss to the global economy as these fish ‘leak’ from the system is estimated at $26 to $50 billion.
 

IUU fishing can take multiple forms – from fishing in forbidden zones to using the wrong gear, misreporting catches or throwing back unwanted accidental catches at sea. It is a threat to marine life but also to the people who rely on legal fishing for their livelihood. And by destroying ecosystems that enable the ocean to sustain us, IUU fishing is a threat to everyone on the planet.

That’s why ClientEarth is working hard to tackle it.
