It concerns all aspects and stages of the capture and utilisation of fish, and it may sometimes be associated with organized crime.

Apart from several s<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\">pecies being faced with genuine extinction, IUU Fishing poses a threat to the safety of the crew in a way that not many individuals recognize. This is the issue of economics. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:108%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\">According to the Pew Charitable Trust, an organization that is think-tank which focuses on solving the world\u2019s most challenging problems, financial drivers behind IUU Fishing can lead to poor safety and labour conditions for vessel crew. When Stocks are overfished, fisher\u2019s catch and their income are reduced. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:108%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\">Consider it as a chain reaction, IUU Fishers look for every profit-maximizing opportunity and method to exploit fish stocks from innovative and illegal technologies to \u201cghost\u201d hunting (turning off their tracking devices to hunt illegally). They also exploit management loopholes by developing ways to under-report and misrepresent their total catch. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:108%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\">This overfishing leads to a decline in stocks which is further exacerbated by the cycle of IUU Fishing. When there is an oversupply of fish then prices inevitably drop and therefore, IUU Fishers will take home much less profit. Less profit then means there is less money to invest in maintenance, repairs and safety equipment making vessel unsafe and conditions deplorable. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;line-height:108%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\">The crew is then forced to work in hazardous and incredibly dangerous conditions for long hours and are given less pay to minimize operating costs. This then leads to fish stocks being exploited to unsustainable levels which will see more species added to the endangered species list. This undermines legitimate fishing operations and food security. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:100%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\">Ultimately, IUU fishing is a serious threat which will destroy efforts to sustainably use our oceans. In SVG, it is the artisanal and traditional fishers who act responsibly that will feel the impact of IUU more than larger fishers in other states. IUU fishers are literally stealing our future and indirectly threaten other industries including employment, marine tourism, health sector and our food security. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:108%;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:8pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Chevanne <span style=\"font-size:11pt; font-style:italic;\"><span style=\"font-family:TimesNewRoman;\">A.Y Charles is a lawyer specialising in International Maritime Law based in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Chevanne A.Y Charles What is IUU fishing?
