Map of the week – Quotas by country and illegal fishing Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing practices represent approximately 19% of the reported value of catches worldwide. In addition to being damaging for the marine environment, these practices present a threat to sustainable fishing and an unfair competition to legitimate fishing operators. Our “Map of the week” presents the catch limits (expressed in tonnes) that are set for most commercial fish stocks. |

Map of the week - Underwater gliders and drifting buoys Ocean observation and monitoring are crucial for our society. The marine data collected through oceanographic instruments and other data collection activities help us, among other things, to improve our understanding of the state of the seas and its role in climate mitigation. Our “Map of the week” highlights the use of two types of oceanographic instruments that automatically collect ocean data and monitor the seas. |
