Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fishing undermines environmental protections and exploits workers. At the same time it provides an advantage over firms that do the right thing.

The McKell Institute is convening an Intergovernmental Council on Illegal Fishing to build a policy and implementation approach that will stop Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated seafood from entering Australia.

The Council and policymaking process is building strong links with stakeholders across industry, civil society and policymakers to deliver a consensus approach. The work will be supported with a team that builds a compelling evidence base to support policy action.
