International Day to Combat Illegal: why is it celebrated on June 5?
The International Day to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing is celebrated on June 5th
This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness about the negative impacts of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing on marine ecosystems and the global fishing economy. IUU harms the sustainability of fisheries resources, threatens marine biodiversity and negatively affects communities that depend on fishing for subsistence and livelihoods. The date aims to promote international cooperation and the implementation of measures to combat this problem, aiming to preserve the oceans and promote sustainable fishing.
