Description
Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is a pervasive global maritime security threat. By undermining international agreements and fisheries conservation measures, IUU fishing jeopardizes food security and economic security, with pronounced destabilizing effects on vulnerable coastal States. If IUU fishing continues unchecked, we can expect increased tensions among foreign fishing nations, threatening geo-political stability around the world. This Implementation Plan outlines actions the U.S. Coast Guard will take to achieve our strategic objectives to combat illegal exploitation of the ocean’s fish stocks, support good maritime governance, foster networks of domestic and international partnerships to protect our national interests, and advance rules-based order in the maritime domain.
