Synopsis (short abstract) Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is fishing that violates regulations, fails to account for all catches as required, or is conducted without any legal controls. It is a persistent and pervasive problem in many types of fisheries around the world. IUU fishing damages resources and legitimate revenue streams and can result in threats to food security, especially in developing coastal States. Understanding the nature and magnitude of these activities is a critical, but often daunting, step toward combatting them.
