Name
Eliminate subsidies contributing to IUU fishing
Description
Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing refers to fishing activities that are conducted outside the regulations and conservation measures established by national or international bodies. Subsidies that support such fishing practices can exacerbate the problem by making it financially viable for vessels to engage in illegal activities. To combat IUU fishing, countries can commit to eliminating subsidies that contribute to these practices. This action aims to reduce the incentives for illegal fishing and improve the sustainability of marine resources.
