📣 📣 📣 Did you know? Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported (IUU) Fishing is responsible for up to 26 million tons of fish annually, accounting for more than 15% of the world's total catch. It not only depletes fish stocks but also affects the economic stability of coastal communities (estimated at a loss of USD 23 billion annually) and disrupts marine biodiversity. Interested in learning more about combating Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported (IUU) Fishing? Join the Commonwealth Blue Charter Ocean Youth Working Group on Monday, 1st July at 8 AM GMT for a special webinar to commemorate the International Day Against Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported (IUU) Fishing.
