Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is currently one of the biggest ocean and maritime challenges the international community faces, and is associated with labour abuses, slavery and other human rights infringements, organised crime, environmental degradation and socioeconomic depression. As such, it requires coordinated action to address effectively. The aim of the first CAPFISH workshop was to educate key actors on the frontlines of the fight against IUU fishing in developing countries. To do so, the workshop brought together key actors from the UN Agencies, relevant international organisations, academic experts, practitioners, and independent experts to share their experiences in tackling the problem, as well as to discuss challenges and identify good practices. This report presents abstracts from these presentations, biographies of the speakers, and details of attendees.
