unreported (IUU) fishing, strengthening seafood traceability, and advocating

for sustainable management in collaboration with partners.

• boosting the global dialogue on ocean-use transparency, growing

understanding of global fishing activity, and galvanising support for

transformational change in fisheries policy and management.
