| dc.description | In 2011, the European Union raised concerns about the extent of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing activities taking place within Papua New Guinea. Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing depletes fish stocks, destroys marine habitats, distorts competition, puts honest fishers at an unfair disadvantage and weakens coastal communities. In 2014, the European Union took the first steps towards imposing a ban on importing raw and processed tuna and a yellow card was issued. A ban would have been detrimental to Papua New Guinea's global trade of tuna, livelihoods and economy. This project was implemented to strengthen the policy, legal and institutional framework for fisheries management, monitoring, control, surveillance and enforcement to address illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and to lift the yellow card. | |
