Crimes associated with fishing

Illegal forms of fishing rob countries of revenues and coastal communities of their livelihoods and sustenance, giving rise to social and economic challenges. Human rights abuses are common onboard fishing vessels operating illegally.

Detection and management

The Nature Crime Alliance convenes a range of actors, including law enforcement, NGOs, and private sector representatives, to develop solutions in the fight against illegal forms of fishing. This includes strategic priority areas such as tools and technology, legal frameworks, and supply chains.
