This conference, hosted by Chatham House, will bring together experts and policy-makers working on issues related to illegal fishing from around the world to explore the latest initiatives, regulations and research in fisheries governance and trade in illegal fish products. Building on the success of previous meetings, the agenda will contain sessions on the new EU IUU fishing regulation, the economic implications of IUU fishing, addressing IUU fishing in Africa and the Asia-Pacific region, controlling & monitoring IUU fishing and fisheries governance. To kick off the conference, Chatham House and WWF will be hosting a screening of the film “The End of the Line: How Overfishing is Changing the World and What We Eat’” on 14 October from 6.00 to 8.30 pm at Chatham House. The film will be followed by a discussion with panellists from industry, government and civil society. The Forum and film screening are open to all.
