The Walton Family Foundation commissioned the Stimson Center to assess the impact and effectiveness of the US Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) implementation in four seafood-producing countries: Chile, Peru, Mexico, and Indonesia. Designed to improve traceability, SIMP requires documentation across the seafood supply chain, from point of harvest to point of entry into the US.Press enter to go to this resource, A Qualitative Assessment of SIMP Implementation in Four Countries

There's growing concern that most Indian Ocean states still lack the basic resources needed to monitor their maritime domains and regulate maritime activities to prevent illegal fishing and ensure food security. For Indian Ocean states to address maritime crime and conflict, agencies must be empowered with the resources and mandates to fight illegal fishing.Press enter to go to this resource, Strengthening Maritime Resources to Combat Illegal Fishing in the Indian Ocean

IUU fishing generates billions of dollars annually, and is one of the biggest threats to the world's oceans. Current enforcement prioritizes at-sea activity of fishing vessels. Yet, this approach does not fully address IUU activity, as it is a part of a larger onshore system that poses risks to sovereignty, national security, and economic development.Press enter to go to this resource, Strings Attached: Exploring onshore networks behind illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing

This report identifies intra-EU shifts in import trends related to the catch certification scheme and third country carding processes. Ultimately, the analysis identified fluctuations in imports of seafood to the EU and related intra-EU trade flows that were potentially linked to the IUU Regulation’s entry into force or the carding process.Press enter to go to this resource, The Impact of the EU IUU Regulation on Seafood Trade Flows

This study is the first to undertake a world-wide analysis of illegal and unreported fishing. Reviewing the situation in 54 countries and on the high seas, the authors estimate that lower and upper estimates of the total value of current illegal and unreported fishing losses worldwide are between $10 bn and $23.5 bn annually.Press enter to go to this resource, Estimating the Worldwide Extent of Illegal Fishing
