Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing

From Fishermen to Pirates – What can be learned from the IUU Fishing-Piracy Nexus? 

IUU fishing is an overarching term which refers to a combination of illicit fishing practices. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) defines illegal fishing as vessels ignoring jurisdictional boundaries, conservation and management measures adopted by regional fisheries organisations. Unreported fishing is any fishing practice not reported to relevant authorities, and unregulated fishing includes fishing that is inconsistent with a state's conservation and management responsibilities under international law.
