COOPERATION BETWEEN THAILAND AND ASEAN MEMBER COUNTRIES IN CONTROL OF ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING

Abstract

The fishery resources of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations are significant and account for one - third of the world's total fish product. But fisheries in ASEAN have been destroyed by Illegal Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IUU Fishing) The ASEAN fisheries cooperation mechanism is implemented within the framework of the Asean Sectoral Working Group on Fisheries and Fisheries Cooperation and ASEAN dialogue partners. Subsequently, The European Union activated an action plan through Council Regulation (EC) No.1005/2008. If the rules are not complied with, ASEAN's fisheries product will not be able to enter the EU market. ASEAN countries must have a unified cooperation and join a network with other regional fisheries resource management organizations.
