CWP-23/Inf.3 E COORDINATING WORKING PARTY ON FISHERY STATISTICS Twenty-third Session Hobart, Tasmania. 22-26 February 2010 COMBATING IUU Author: OECD W0000 2 Fish Piracy « COMBATING ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED FISHING Fish Piracy Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a worldwide problem which is increasing in scale. But the inter- national community lacks hard evidence because IUU fishing activities are camouflaged and information and data are therefore often anecdotal. Establishing the extent of IUU fishing and its impact on resources is a cru- cial issue, and regional fisheries management organisations and the NGO community can play a vital role in provi- ding information and data to governments and international institutions. COMBATING ILLEGAL, IUU fishing is an economic activity that will continue to exist as long as it is profitable. It is therefore important to better understand the social and economic factors that drive IUU fishing in order to identify more effective Fish Piracy UNREPORTED AND methods to combat this evil. This was the aim of the April 2004 OECD workshop on IUU fishing. The workshop looked at the various means available for deterring IUU fishing and sought to understand the costs and benefits of UNREGULATED FISHING alternative strategies. Previous efforts of dealing with IUU fishing have produced meagre results, so new approaches are needed. The workshop asked whether existing institutions are capable of dealing with this often concealed, cross-border activity, and proposed new and alternative ways to deal with it. IUU fishing is a global environmental, economic and social threat. The international community and the countries FISHING AND UNREGULATED ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED COMBATING most heavily involved need to consolidate their efforts and go beyond national interests if they are to succeed in ensuring the sustainability of the world’s fisheries resources for future generations.

As part of the project, the Committee hosted a Workshop which took place in Paris on 19-20 April 2004. The Workshop was attended by 120 participants and included representatives from OECD Member and non-member countries, as well as international governmental and non-governmental organisations. The Workshop was made possible by funding from a number of OECD Member countries. The Committee for Fisheries will continue the analytical work on illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries issues and plans to publish its findings in 2005. The views and opinions expressed in these Proceedings are those of the individual authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the OECD Committee for Fisheries or the OECD Member countries. It is published on the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD. Acknowledgements The OECD and the Committee for Fisheries express appreciation to all participants for contributing to the success of the Workshop on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing Activities. This publication has been made possible through voluntary funding by a number of OECD Member countries. It has been prepared and edited by Kathleen Gray, Fiona Legg and Emily Andrews-Chouicha. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 9 KEY OBSERVATIONS AND FINDINGS 11 PART I – OVERVIEW OF THE STATE OF PLAY ON ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED FISHING 17 Chapter 1: Regulating IUU Fishing or Combating IUU Operations? 19 Olav Schram Stokke and Davor Vidas Chapter 2: Global Review of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing Issues: What's the Problem? 49 David A.
