Descripción
In the Western Central Atlantic region, illegal, unreported andunregulated fishing represents between 20 and 30 percent oflegitimate landings of fish, with an estimated value of from USD 700to 930 million per year. The high demand for fish, the substantialeconomic benefits derived from IUU fishing, the Exclusive EconomicZones of many Caribbean states and inadequate monitoring, controland surveillance (MCS) systems make the region particularlyvulnerable to IUU fishing. Recognizing the need to create a workinggroup on MCS and IUU fishing, WECAFC collaborated with CRFM ina concerted effort to combat IUU fishing. The project was designedto support the second meeting of the Regional Working Group onIllegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (RWG-IUU), establishedby WECAFC and aimed at improving coordination and cooperationamong national organizations and institutions in support of theircommon efforts to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing.
