Abstract

Illegal commercial fishing, commonly referred to as IUU (illegal, unreported, and unregulated) fishing, is one of the most complex and serious environmental crimes. The harms of this crime are numerous and significant, spanning from economic and social to environmental, affecting not only people but also marine life alike. This chapter will broadly outline and discuss the harms caused by illegal fishing. It will then focus on the facilitators of this crime and lay the foundation for security issues associated with each. Subsequent discussions will focus on identifying the interventions that have been proposed or implemented to remove these facilitating conditions, as well as on proposing alternative intervention that can better address the issue while holding the issue of security in mind.
