International Cooperation to End IUU fishing
International cooperation is critical for combatting illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. This session discusses opportunities and challenges related to the implementation of relevant international agreements.
It provides examples of how governments, businesses, non-governmental organisations and scientists worldwide are cooperating to combat IUU fishing and consider what types of new partnerships are needed to address the issue.
The discussion centres on the following questions:
• What role does international cooperation play in combatting IUU fishing?
• What progress has been made in implementing relevant international agreements, such as the Port State Measures Agreement? What are the key challenges and next steps?
• What types of international partnerships are needed to combat IUU fishing? How can international cooperation be strengthened?
This session is part of the Chatham House International Forum on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing which brings together leading policymakers, researchers, industry representatives and civil society groups from across the world to discuss the latest initiatives, regulations and research in the areas of fisheries governance and trade in illegal fish products.
