Governance / management

Analysis shows a strong relationship between the level of governance of a country and its vulnerability to IUU fishing. Good governance appears to go hand in hand with good MCS systems and procedures, the political will to enforce regulations, cooperation with neighbours on surveillance, the elimination of possibilities for IUU activity, and active participation in regional and sub-regional fisheries agreements.

The consequences of good governance are a reduced threat to food security and especially to artisanal fishers' livelihoods, but unless aid targeted at improving MCS is accompanied by efforts to improve wider governance, the potential benefits in terms of reducing vulnerability to IUU fishing are likely to be undermined, particularly in the longer term.
