Abstract

Sustainable use of ecosystems represents a significant challenge [1]. In the case of fisheries, illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing is a globally crucial barrier to sustainability [2]. Illegal fishing for some species in the Southern Ocean has been described as a form of well-organized, transnational crime [3,4]. Conceptualizing illegal fishing as a form of organized crime has made it easier to identify the political priorities and the resources and actions required to address the problem effectively.
