Sharks, tuna and sea turtles are just some of the victims of illegal fishing practices.

Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a key driver of global overfishing. It threatens both marine ecosystems as well as food and regional security—not to mention it has a major impact on the global economy. In fact, recent estimates show that the world is losing up to $23 billion in annual revenue due to IUU fishing, with a staggering 86% of species currently at risk.

With the US as one of the world's largest markets for seafood, the realities of IUU fishing become even more severe. Americans consume about 5 billion pounds of seafood a year. Currently, however, it's not possible to determine if the fish we eat are legally caught.

Take action today: Help us ensure the fish you buy is caught responsibly from our world's oceans.
