International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated FishingInternational Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing is a global observance focused on raising awareness about the devastating consequences of IUU fishing. The day highlights the importance of adopting sustainable fishing practices. It also emphasizes cooperation between nations and organizations to identify, deter, and eliminate these harmful activities. The observance seeks to promote the responsible use of marine resources for the benefit of future generations and to ensure the sustainability of fisheries and marine ecosystems. Originating from the United Nations General Assembly resolution 72/72, the International Day for the Fight against IUU Fishing was first celebrated on June 5, 2018. For Canadians, this day is of particular relevance because the country's fishery and marine ecosystem are significant sources of cultural, economic, and ecological wealth. IUU fishing undermines the efforts taken by Canada to maintain sustainable fishing and poses a threat to the nation's fishery health and coastal communities, which rely on fishery resources for their livelihoods. Ensuring sustainable marine practices aligns with Canada's commitment toward the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 14, which aims to conserve and sustainably use ocean, sea, and marine resources. In recognizing this observance, Canadians typically engage in various activities, such as educational events, public seminars, and campaigns, aimed at fostering awareness of IUU fishing and its harmful consequences. The strategic exchange of information between government bodies, fishery organizations, and the public is also encouraged, as well as the sharing of resources and tools to combat IUU fishing effectively. The International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing is held annually on June 5 and serves as an important reminder of the need for continued global efforts in securing sustainable fishery practices and marine resources.
