Si stima che ogni anno tra gli 11 e i 26 milioni di tonnellate di pesce vengano pescate a livello globale attraverso la pesca illegale, non regolamentata e non segnalata (INN). I paesi in via di sviluppo sono particolarmente vulnerabili alla pesca INN e circa 1 miliardo di dollari USA vengono persi ogni anno a causa della pesca INN nella regione dell’Oceano Indiano Occidentale (WIO).
