  • Summary

    Apart from depleting global marine resources, illegal fishing affects the economies and societies of many developing coastal states. They are often not in a position to police the maritime zones that are under their jurisdiction, such as their exclusive economic zone, and to enforce their fisheries regulations adequately. The persons who organise these illegal fishing operations, such as the operators and owners of vessels, often use flags of convenience and take advantage of the weak legal systems of flag States and coastal States. In this chapter it is argued that, in addition to coastal, port and flag States, the States of which such owners and operators are nationals also have a role to fulfil in the fight against illegal fishing.
