Thailand faces massive test in its efforts to crack down illegal fishing
The Thai government’s determination to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing has brought about fruitful outcomes – but its tough reforms have ignited protests from affected fishermen.
The European Union in January 2019 removed its yellow card from Thailand, which it received for a lack of progress in tackling IUU fishing, following the country’s push for a major upgrade of fisheries governance, in accordance with international commitments.
