Why is IUU fishing a serious problem?
1. It poses a threat and impact to life
2. It poses a threat and impact to the fish stocks and ecosystem
3. It poses a threat and impact to our food security
Prevalence
What is prevalence?
•The degree to which something is widespread
•commonness, frequency, frequentness
•Example: “the percentage of a population that is affected with a particular disease at a given time”
•How big is the threat of IUU fishing in your area of interest?
What is EAFM
Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management
How do we assess IUUF?
Conducting I-FIT
prevalence, vulnerability, and response
How do we measure prevalence?
•Gaano kalaki ang epekto ng illegal fishing sa inyong municipal water?
•Pwede bang sukatan ito sa “bilang ng nahuhuling illegal fishers”?
•Ano ang maaring problema kung apprehensions data lang ang gagamitin bilang sukatan ng pagdami o pagkaunti ng illegal fishing?
•Pag mas madaming huling illegal fishers à ibig sabihin ba mas madaming illegal fisher? O mas gumaling lang ang enforcement? O parehas?
•Kelangan malinaw ang interpretasyon ng mga gagamiting sukatan ng “prevalence” para tama ang makukuha nating impormasyon na base sa realidad.

Why should we assess IUUF?
2. IUU fishing is a complex issue and requires an in-depth assessment to enable us to identify longer-lasting solutions
Reducing IUU Fishing requires a multi-faceted approach. These can be in done through what? Give 1.
●laws and ordinances prescribing actions or prohibitions
●licensing and registration
●catch documentation/auxiliary invoices
●information and communication
●incentives and awards or name and shame campaign
●livelihood support to minimize fishing pressure
●fishery law enforcement operations
●other programs in support of sustainable fisheries
Why is it important to assess vulnerability? Give 1
1. We need to understand the physical, ecological, and socio-economic factors that make our areas vulnerable or exposed to specific types of IUU Fishing
2.We need to calibrate our responses to address the factors that make our areas vulnerable or exposed to specific types of IUU Fishing
3.There are vulnerability factors that we may be able to address but there are vulnerability factors that we have to live with.
Illegal, Unreported And Unregulated (IUU) Fishing Index And Threat Assessment Tool
What are we assessing?
Threat to life, ecosystem, and food security
What is I-FIT all about?
To find long-lasting solutions and targeted responses to specific IUU fishing threats in the target area.
Why do we need a response?
To address issues in IUUF and to solve conflicts. Responses should be reducing prevalence by addressing vulnerabilities
