Secure Fisheries' Director participated at the U.S. Department of State's Our Ocean conference, which welcomed many new commitments on marine conservation and protection. Secure Fisheries was pleased to see many outcomes from the conference intended to promote more sustainable fisheries and to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. At the conference, the Department of State also announced a collaboration between Secure Fisheries and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which will create best practices for naval fleets collecting and disseminating illegal fishing information.
