Description

The greatest challenge facing global fisheries is that recovery often requires substantial short-term reductions in fishing effort, catches and profits. The report argues that many nations can recover their fisheries while avoiding these short-term costs by sharply addressing illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. This can spur fishery recovery, often at little or no cost to local economies or food provision.
