Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a serious global problem that threatens ocean ecosystems and fisheries, food security, and economic growth, while undermining law-abiding fishers and communities in the United States and around the world. IUU fishing can take many forms, ranging from the small-scale misreporting of catch, to large-scale, coordinated efforts by transnational crime syndicates, and may be associated with forced labor and other human rights abuses. The United States is countering IUU fishing and related threats to maritime security around the world through diplomatic outreach, law enforcement partnerships, information-sharing, and international capacity-building activities. Under the Maritime Security and Fisheries Enforcement (SAFE) Act, the United States is mobilizing a whole-of-government approach to tackling the issue of IUU fishing. Over the past two years, MSAFE has implemented the National 5-Year Strategy for Combatting IUU Fishing, promoting sustainable fisheries governance, stronger fishing measures and compliance, and preventing seafood caught by IUU fishing or associated labor abuses from entering commercial trade.
