"Over the past few years, illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing
has moved from obscurity to recognition as a global threat, a U.S. national
security concern, and the topic of a
New York Times best seller. Multiple
international bodies have developed agreements to combat it. The president of
the United States directed executive agencies to address it. Given all this
awareness and activity, it would be reasonable to think that global efforts are
having an impact in countering IUU fishing.
Measurable improvement on a global scale, however, remains elusive. The IUU
Fishing Risk Index benchmarks countries based on their vulnerability to, the
prevalence of, and their response to IUU fishing. The 2023 biannual index
report showed a slightly worse overall score compared to 2021 but broadly
presented no notable global shift or improvement.
At some point, U.S. and global efforts must turn the tide on illegal fishing.
Could 2024 be that turning point?"
