The Elimination of IUU Fishing in the Southern Ocean
At the start of the new millennium, fisheries statistics reported that around 70 % of the world's fisheries were severely overexploited (Crothers, 1998). After centuries Of fishing in local coastal waters, an eventual reduction in fish stocks forced nations such as Britain, Iceland, Norway, Spa...

At the start of the new millennium, fisheries statistics reported that around 70 % of the world's fisheries were severely overexploited (Crothers, 1998).
