Alongside World Environment Day (WED), the international community is also celebrating the 6th International Day for the Elimination of Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing on 5 June 2023. Many actors, including the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) and the African Marine Mammal Conservation Organization (AMMCO), are drawing attention to the consequences of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing.
