It is known as illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU onwards), to capture ocean wildlife illegally and unregulated. Illegal fishing is fast becoming one of the most lucrative illicit activities, generating some 23,500 million dollars in profits worldwide. Transnational Criminal Organizations (hereinafter: OCT) are the ones who are at the forefront of this criminal activity (FAO, 2018). IUU fishing takes advantage of the gaps and shortcomings of the laws of regimes national and international management, poor countries' capacities to make presence in their territorial waters and the few initiatives of control and surveillance especially in sensitive areas. This transnational crime has the potential to eliminate artisanal fisheries, especially predation of highly migratory species. According to the report State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2016, issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (hereinafter FAO, for its acronym in English): "IUU fishing is a threat to livelihood, exacerbates poverty and increases food insecurity "(FAO, 2018). IUU fishing and overcapacity of fishing fleets worldwide are the main threats to the sustainability of fisheries resources in the world, this is the biggest reason why fleets move their operations to new areas, especially areas protected. This phenomenon is no stranger in the Pacific area this tropical, fishing fleets have moved their activities to neighboring areas of Marine Protected Areas (hereinafter: AMP), especially Costa Rica (Cocos Island), Panama (Isla Coiba ), Colombia (Gorgona, Malpelo Island) and Ecuador (Galapagos Islands), among others; these fleets looking to capture its surroundings to protected species and highly migratory species, in many cases illegally entering jurisdictional maritime areas, exclusive economic zone and waters of the marine reserve of each country. According to the book "Illegal fishing marina in Colombia" presented by the Attorney General and the NGO MarViva, it states that in the 2014-2017 period, the government agency National Parks of Colombia has registered about 254 sanctions in the Pacific Ocean and 20 in the Atlantic for illegal fishing in protected natural areas. Parks where more cases were presented Sanctuary of Malpelo Fauna and Flora (152) and the Gorgona Natural National Park (83) in the Colombian Pacific.

In the case of the Galapagos Marine Reserve (Ecuador), declared a Natural World Heritage Site, more than 300 ships, especially Chinese flag fishing nearby. On August 13, 2017, the Navy of Ecuador captured a ship Chinese flag named "Fu Yuan Lu Leng 999" in jurisdictional waters of the Marine Reserve and therefore in Ecuadorian EEZ with 300 tons of fishing of endangered species, vulnerable and protected as the hammerhead, all highly migratory. Because of this incident, we proceeded with the capture of 20 people and the seizure of the ship, setting an environmental crime. As the drug by sea -second link in the value chain by the preferred drug trafficking OCT for transport alkaloid, means there is a natural link between these two forms of transnational crime. "This illegal activity, in addition to damaging the ocean and fishing unceremoniously species, is accompanied by other illicit activities such as arms smuggling, people and narcotics trafficking," he explained the president of Costa Rica, José María Figueres on the occasion of the World Ocean Summit, held in Cancún Mexico in March this year. The links are manifested because the media, ie fishing boats are used both for narcotics trafficking, refueling (known as floating petrol stations) and for illegal fishing and in a few cases for the two offenses transnational simultaneously; Such is the case of a vessel Costa Rican flag called "Success 1", which in 2016 was intercepted by a patrol boat of the Navy of Colombia in the vicinity of the Malpelo Island with 626 kg of cocaine and 1200 kg protected fish species (more than 90% white shark). Five Costa Rican and Nicaraguan were captured and turned over to the relevant authorities in Buenaventura (Department. Of Valle del Cauca). Likewise, reports of seizures and anecdotal evidence indicate that the OCT are using the maritime scene around marine protected areas as routes for smuggling cocaine hydrochloride (hereinafter HCL), this can infer the following events in CIMCON records, from 2017: • Cocos Island National Park: on April 15, 2017, the Costa Rican authorities seized 969 kg of HCL. • Coiba National Park: on December 2, 2016, the SENAN seized 604 kg of HCL which was transferred into a go-fast boat type.
13
• Gorgona Natural National Park: on August 6, 2015, seized 1,300 kg of LCH were in two boats. 21 November 2017, was captured a vessel with 720 kg of HCL. 15 January 2018, were seized 336 kg of HCL. • Sanctuary of Malpelo Fauna and Flora: the May 10, 2016, seized 1,180 kg of HCl and 11 February 2018, 94 kilograms of HCL floating on the surface were seized. • Galapagos Marine Reserve: February 21, 2016, seized 700 kg of LCH were transported in a go-fast boat type. On March 13, 2016, 1.9 tons of HCL were seized. 31 July 2017 were seized 600 kg of HCL. On April 12, 2018, they were seized 1,600 kg of LCH were transported by fishing vessels.
The United Nations Organization on Drugs and Crime (UNODC, for its acronym in English), in its World Drug Report 2017 states that: "Organized criminal groups have expanded their range of illicit activities. They have other criminal sectors, such as cybercrime and environmental crime emerged. Fewer and fewer groups are dedicated solely to drug trafficking and increasingly also active in other sectors illicit "(UNODC, 2018). Anecdotal evidence of state entities, involved in combating drug trafficking by sea, realize that these protected areas are sites chosen by the OCT for refueling ships seeking to get drug off the coast of Mexico and Central America, being thus the main drug trafficking routes by sea. IUU fishing is a crime that it referred to as a "crime of convergence" because usually committed along with other crimes, especially drug trafficking by sea. The collaboration of state control agencies to create an adequate response to these events is vital in order to ensure the sustainability of the ocean and deny the use of the sea to organizations carrying drugs by sea. Countries in the region are channeling their efforts to combat this convergence of crime, so much so that Costa Rica has installed a radar in Cocos Island to control the Marine Reserve and also in the acquisition process a King Air 250 aircraft, "which will go to the fight against drug trafficking and illegal". Ecuador meanwhile has mobilized its resources available to their territorial waters west of the Galapagos Islands in order to exercise sea control and prevent illegal fishing in its waters, especially in the declared Marine Reserve area around the Galapagos Islands. However, individual efforts are not enough. The obvious concurrency requires that regional synergy, as an accelerant to success in the fight against drugs, materialized through operations simultaneous, concurrent and overlapping maritime interdiction can not put aside the fight against crime is adopted convergence closely related to drug trafficking as it is IUU fishing. Planning Operations Maritime Safety should cover both drug trafficking and illegal, under the support of local laws, respecting the sovereignty and jurisdiction Territorial Sea and Exclusive Economic Zone of each State and protected by international instruments such as the United Nations Convention Convention on the law of the Sea 1982 (UNCLOS), the Convention of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and psychotropic substances of 1988 and the New York Agreement of 1995 UN Stocks Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks among the most important.

Knowledge management has become with the passing of the years one of the main tools of the modern manager. It is related to so-called intangible assets (knowledge-based), with the ability to learn, and also with the ability to generate new knowledge. It then tries to manage a set of processes in an orderly manner, with holistic and strategic purposes. Such processes are: knowledge creation, knowledge development, knowledge dissemination, and exploitation of such knowledge, in order that the organization acquires more competitive. Plaza-Angulo (2011) tells us about it:
The concept of knowledge management has two components, on the one hand, on the management, which at the organizational level results in the adoption of functions such as planning, organization, management and process control to achieve the objectives, the mission and vision of these organizations; and secondly, the ability and talent of individuals and organizations transform information into knowledge, generating creativity and innovation, which provides security and encourages decision- making. (P.62)
Here are a list of definitions of Knowledge Management, that allow a broader view of the issue.
Table No. 01 -Definitions of Knowledge Management authors Definition Eduardo Bueno Campos It is the function that plans, coordinates and controls the flow of knowledge produced in the company in connection with their activities and their environment in order to create a core competencies.
David Skirme Integration of management information (explicit knowledge), process (encapsulated knowledge), people (tacit knowledge), innovation (knowledge conversion) and intangible assets or intellectual capital.
Debra M. Amidon Knowledge Management is an oxymoron and runs the risk of becoming a fashion. However, innovation in knowledge is critical to the sustainability of a collaborative advantage that achieves excellence in the company, for the sustainability of the economy of a nation and the development of society.
Karl Eric Sveiby It is the art of creating value exerting influence (leverage) on intangible assets. To be able to do that, we must be able to visualize the organization as something that only is knowledge and knowledge flows.
Charles Armstrong It refers to the lifting of organizational behavior to improve the ability to develop relationships with the outside world and with customers. This requires creating the place, time and way to promote thoughtful work and strategic effectiveness of our interactions.
Robert K. Logan It refers to the use of information in a strategic way to achieve business objectives. Knowledge Management is the organizational activity of creating a social environment and a technical infrastructure so that knowledge accessible, shared and created. Larry Prusak It is an attempt to recognize what is essentially a human asset, to act on it and turn it into an organizational asset that access a wide range of individuals who make decisions of which depends on the company.
27
Hubert Saint Onge It is the creation of value based on the intangible assets of a company through relationships where the creation, sharing and gathering knowledge build individual and organizational skills required to provide superior customer value.
Howard Eisenberg The modern term knowledge worker is inappropriate. Instead we need thinkers workers, people who can perceive the limitations in progress, identify emerging trends and anticipate the possibilities for tomorrow's opportunities. These knowledge workers will thus become valued assets and constitute the reserve and source of intellectual capital that can be the basis for creating a competitive advantage.
Chris Argyris The art of management is to manage knowledge. This means that not managed to individuals per se, but the knowledge they possess. It means creating the conditions that enable people to produce valid knowledge and do it in a way that strengthens personal responsibility. Josef Hofer-Aleis Knowledge Management is the explicit and systematic management of policies, programs, practices and activities in the company that are related to sharing with the creation and application of knowledge. Knowledge Management aims to enhance existing knowledge. Knowledge Management intends to develop new knowledge and skills for innovation.

In the mid-90s of last century it was not yet widespread use of computers or the Internet, and yet already started talking about knowledge management. That is, that while the association between knowledge and technology was not as strong as it is in this1, And the first steps were taken in that direction, depending on the certainty to be had that knowledge is a source of competitive advantage for companies. So in that little theories they emerged to strengthen organizations in this field, such as empowerment, Process Reengineering, skills management, and continuous learning.
Empowerment is the management strategy in which the power is granted to employees or teams to make decisions directly related to the work carried out, without having to resort to their superiors, ie delegated authority. It is assumed that whoever develops the task has the skills and experience necessary to take decisions that may arise. Empowerment is an English word which can be translated as "empowerment" or "empowerment". leadership and taking responsibility are encouraged.
Process Reengineering is a management and administrative tool, consisting of a detailed review of the various processes carried out in an organization, to undertake optimizing, making changes that make them more efficient and profitable. To advance a process reengineering project, you must first define what the goals to be achieved, how these goals will be met, and which indicators to measure progress will be. All workers should be involved fully in the implementation of the improvements that are proposed.
Competence Management is a process that identifies the capabilities that will be required of people to fill each job, this is achieved by developing measurable and objectively measurable profile. The profile is developed, should be aligned with the organizational culture and strategic business lines, containing the competencies deemed necessary for the proper performance of the functions of each position. Thus, the direction will have the certainty that in every job there is a suitable person working to achieve organizational goals.
Finally, continuous learning, is to provide people the motivation and opportunity to improve the skills and talents that are necessary for the performance of his current position, or which is expected to play in the future.
1"A common problem is confusing information (or knowledge) technology that supports it. From television to the Internet, it is important to note that the medium is not the message. What is exchanged is more important than the means used to do so. Often said to have a phone conversation guarantees not keep bright. In short, now have access to more information technology does not mean that we have improved our level of information. "(Diazgranados, op.cit. S / p) 28
When organizations grow and become more complex, multiply operations and the number of data and information that workers must handle. In this scenario, it is obviously impossible for all to be retained only in the minds of people. It is necessary to use suitable carriers to store, retrieve and share that information. In this vein, new technologies came to allow to do that quickly, reliably, and massive.
Knowledge often resides in the minds of people and therefore is not always available when needed for the organization. To address this problem has emerged in recent years a new discipline: Knowledge Management, which deals with the identification, capture, retrieval, sharing and evaluation of organizational knowledge; whose main objective knowledge that resides in an organization can be used by those who need to act appropriately at all times. Aguilar, et. to the. (2016).
When delving into the issue of knowledge management, open multiple possibilities for research and application in different scenarios. In this particular case, it is invited to the kind readers of Triarius, to be illustrated this interesting strategy, and implement it in their work environment. We have no doubt that your application will improve management, performance and satisfaction of all involved.
