FAO
IUU fishing causes severe economic, social, biological and environmental impacts. The paper describes current actions to combat IUU by States, RFMOs and others through the use of various mechanisms such as port state measures, VMS, and other technology. As the problems caused by IUU fishing have been exposed and counteractive mechanisms have been identified and implemented, progress has been realized. However, commitment, cooperation, resources, creativity and constant vigilance will be required for future success.
