International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing is an observance that aims to draw attention and bring collective effort against activities related to unlawful fishing. The day focuses on increasing public awareness, strengthening international collaboration, and promoting responsible fishing practices in order to protect marine ecosystems and secure sustainable fisheries for future generations. Established by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and observed annually since 2015, this international day addresses pressing issues concerning marine life, environments, and economies affected by IUU fishing. For Australia, understanding the implications of IUU fishing are vital for ensuring the longevity of its ecosystems, as well as the integrity of national and regional fisheries management. IUU fishing threatens Australia's biodiversity, the livelihoods of coastal communities, and the nation's reputation for quality seafood. Events held on this day in Australia typically include seminars, workshops, and educational campaigns focused on raising awareness and promoting best practices in combating IUU fishing. Participants from various sectors are encouraged to share knowledge on ways to prevent and address IUU fishing activities. Observed annually on June 5, International Day for the Fight against IUU Fishing provides an occasion for Australians to actively contribute to efforts in ensuring a sustainable future for their marine ecosystems.
