The International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing raises awareness of fishing practices that threaten marine ecosystems, food security and coastal livelihoods. The day is linked to the implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement, the first binding international agreement focused on combating illegal fishing. It encourages stronger cooperation to protect oceans and support sustainable fisheries.
