Description

The FAO, ILO, and IMO have collectively recognized the link between safety, labor and IUU issues, and the need to be addressed together in order to be effective.

Jointly, these treaties help guard against fish stocks overexploitation, protect the people catching them, and help ensure that all captains and crews on the ocean and in port are operating under the same set of rules.

There are many actions MPs can take to contribute to the fundamental safety standards, decent working conditions, and legality of catch that together address IUU fishing.
