Title: Closing the Net: Stopping Illegal Fishing on the High Seas
Summary: This is the final report of the Ministerially-led Task Force on IUU Fishing on the High Seas. It takes a look at the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing on a global scale. To address this problem, it devised a set of practical proposals intended to tackle the root causes of IUU fishing. Each of the major proposals is intended to have one or both of the following effects: (1) it will enhace enforcement, sharply increasing the risk of exposure of IUU operations and the potential for successful prohibition, and (2) it will make IUU operations less profitable, increasing the capital and operating costs and reducing the revenues from IUU fishing. Each measure is thus designed in some way to expose IUU fishing activities, deter them and improve enforcement against those responsible.
