The growing issue of illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing
Today – 5 June – is international IUU Fishing Day which raises awareness of illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing.
This is a significant problem affecting fisheries, economies and livelihoods. It not only undermines conservation efforts but also threatens marine biodiversity and encourages poverty, food insecurity and human rights abuses.
In this podcast we discuss this concerning and growing issue in the context of marine insurance. To do that, we are joined by Anneke Kooiman who is Associate Director, Technique Marine at DUPI in the Netherlands. Anneke has a long association with IUMI including a number of years chairing the Inland Hull, Fishing Vessels and Yachts Committee where she was very vocal on the issue of IUU fishing.
We are also joined by Lindsay Getschel who is an Outreach and Engagement Senior Associate from the Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance in Washington DC.
