For the first time, the Spanish government, industry and NGOs are joining together in a collaboration to help combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the Secretaria General de Pesca, the Organización de Productores Asociados de Grandes Atuneros Congeladores (OPAGAC) and the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) will enable the implementation of a new pilot project that will allow the government to monitor fishing vessels operating in West Africa more effectively.
