    Abstract

    In 2019, EU provided a grant of €100 000 to support CCAMLR to identify and deter illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities that undermine the objectives of the CAMLR Convention. In order to meet the objectives of the grant, INTERPOL was contracted, and the 2020–2021 activities of the Global Fisheries Enforcement Project are supported. This paper presents the report submitted by INTERPOL in relation to activities between 1 January 2021 to 31 August 2021, including future proposed activities.
