Combatting IUU fishing is a high priority for Canada. That is why the Government of Canada established the Shared Ocean Fund as part of Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy and committed $84.3M over five years. This new funding will support the creation of stronger international rules against IUU fishing and the deployment of Canada's advanced dark vessel detection satellite technology to high-risk areas in the Indo-Pacific region to help detect, track, and intercept illegal harvesters.
