The Transparency, Technology and Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing side event will focus on concrete actions that are based on science, and implemented via innovative tools and technologies, that can be taken to secure a healthy, thriving and vibrant ocean.


The 75-minute event will launch an IUU Action Alliance; profile the new Joint Analytical Cell (JAC), which provides authorities with fisheries intelligence, data analysis and capacity building; announce a contribution from Canadian space technology company MDA of the global space-based earth observation data archive to the International community in support of the UN Sustainable Development Goals; and showcase leading transparency and technology-based initiatives undertaken by the participants.


The session will offer three clear actions that all nations can take to follow suit; (1) Join the IUU Action Alliance, (2) Engage with and support the JAC; and (3) Access the global space-based earth observation data archive.
