Although the impacts of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing on world oceans, trade, and coastal communities can be substantial, most consumers seldom think of IUU fishing as an obstacle to the sustainability of our ocean.

When illicitly caught fish ends up on our plates, we are accomplices in unsustainable, and often criminal practices, that are damaging for our well-being and for the sustainability of our ocean.

As consumers, we can contribute to stop IUU fishing with our personal choice. Paying attention to the source of the fish we buy, to its traceability and environmental sustainability is a powerful way to start. We can make a difference.

Sustainable fishing starts with us.
