Lucha contra la pesca INDNR

La SFP trabaja para mejorar la política y la gobernanza pesqueras en países clave y a escala regional, con el fin de lograr una mayor protección del medio ambiente y el cumplimiento de las normas, una gestión más sostenible de las poblaciones y mayores beneficios para las comunidades pesqueras. Una de las principales prioridades de nuestro trabajo es hacer frente a los retos persistentes de la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada (INDNR).

Impacto en el agua

Technologies are widely available to help fishers demonstrate compliance with government regulations and seafood buyer requirements. Tools such as electronic monitoring (EM) generate valuable data and metrics on catch and bycatch, vessel behavior, and crew wellness. Vessel-level data providers such as Global Fishing Watch and the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation help determine which vessels are risky and which are acting responsibly. SFP is pushing for wider adoption and requirement of technologies like EM and is bringing stakeholders together to ensure maximum benefits of the data are realized by fishers, regulators, and seafood supply chains.

Transparencia y trazabilidad

Seafood buyers who are unsure where their seafood is coming from are at high risk. At a minimum, buyers need to know the source of their products and have assurances about the source fishery. The FAO-backed Universal Fishery IDs in the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries provide a global standard for the entire seafood industry for identifying unique source fisheries. With better visibility of and traceability to source fisheries, seafood companies have a more accurate picture of risk and where issues like IUU fishing persist and need to be addressed.

Lucha contra la pesca ilegal, no declarada y no reglamentada

SFP aligns seafood supply chain players, from international buyers to domestic processors to fisher organizations, to press for policies that address IUU fishing, and educate governments on the merits of the proposed reforms. Where fisheries are unregulated or poorly managed, SFP also pushes for the seafood industry to implement voluntary measures to reduce overfishing and harmful practices.

SFP’s Global Squid Supply Chain Roundtable has done extensive work to address the risks of IUU fishing and human rights abuses in squid fisheries, both within their specific supply chains and globally. Our IUU Squid Fishing Resource Library collects a broad range of research and evidence on IUU fishing worldwide.
