New Zealand Parliament introduces a Bill enhancing its ability to combat illegal fishing in international waters.
New Zealand's Parliament introduces a Bill strengthening the country's ability to fight illegal fishing and regulate its own commercial fishers in international waters. The Fisheries (International Fishing and Other Matters) Amendment Bill 2023 aims to increase the country's ability to investigate and take action against illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing beyond its Exclusive Economic Zone. The Bill reaffirms New Zealand's commitment to sustainable fisheries management and addresses threats posed by illegal fishing to its interests in the Pacific and Southern Oceans.
