While global illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing annually costs the global economy an estimated $10-$23.5 billion, there has been little research conducted to estimate costs imposed on legitimate producers stemming from IUU fishing. To fill that knowledge gap, WWF developed an economic snapshot of the impact of IUU imports on U.S. fishermen.Press enter to go to this resource, An Analysis of the Impact of IUU Imports on U.S. Fishermen

This executive summary documents findings from two field trips to the pilot sites, where mobile application pilots were implemented to improve adoption of a new mobile technology platform aimed at improving fisheries data capture and fisher livelihoods.Press enter to go to this resource, mFish Alpha Pilot Executive Summary
