Oceans, IUU Fishing, and Climate Change: Implications for International Law

Abstract Illegal, unregulated and unreported ( IUU ) fishing poses a significant threat to marine fisheries and biodiversity only outpaced by the projected impacts of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions. Ocean warming might affect fish stocks, their health and migratory routes. Ocean acidifi...
