This resolution underscores the urgency of combating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and protecting oceanic biodiversity in Latin America and the Caribbean. The resolution also (1) encourages greater coordination among the governments of Latin America and the Caribbean to facilitate information sharing and law enforcement responses to IUU fishing; and (2) calls on the Department of State, in coordination with the U.S. Agency for International Development and other federal agencies, to counter IUU fishing.
