“…One study also discusses that two factors (the number of commercially important species and the proximity of ports of convenience) can increase a risk of IUU fishing, mainly in offshore and distant water fisheries [130]. In contrast, fishers in coastal areas may be driven to poach for need (e.g., financial necessities, poverty, long-term unemployment) or just for selfconsumption [131,132]. Other reasons include a political act of fishers to express their opposition against newly introduced regulations when they deem it unreasonable [133], or simply the lack of awareness among them [134].…”

“…The formal MCS or anti-IUU measures we presented in this study (e.g., VMS) are punitive, and they are not necessarily adapted to the socioeconomic context of each unique IUU fishing case. To address a gap in the current MCS mechanisms, the countries need to carefully assess the institutional framework of each fishery, and identify and address root causes of IUU fishing [131,137]. The socioeconomic approach could supplement the current MCS which would otherwise be insufficient to solve the issue of IUU fishing.…”

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is becoming a growing threat to sustainable fisheries and the economy worldwide. To solve this issue, various efforts on monitoring, control, and surveillance (MCS) have been made at the national, regional, and international levels. However, there is still the lack of measures against IUU fishing vessels at the multilateral level. Here, we assessed the situations of fisheries, and the current systems and challenges of MCS in eight Asia-Pacific countries with a focus on MCS of IUU fishing vessels at sea. Through a literature review and interviews, we confirmed that IUU fishing was linked with the status of fisheries in each country, and that each country implements various MCS measures with different emphases. However, there was a trend of enhancing or newly establishing four areas of MCS: vessel tracking, patrol, onboard observers, and port State measures, with amended or newly adopted laws. We also identified challenges of MCS such as insufficient MCS in coastal areas and fragmented cooperation among the countries. Based on our findings, we advance several recommendations including the enhancement of cooperation among stakeholders, especially fishers, for co-monitoring in coastal areas and the establishment of a communication platform for Asia-Pacific countries.

“…This regulatory management and control action by regional government led to an unprecedented change in shellfishing on foot, which until then had been characterized by poor professional and technological training, a feminized and ageing workforce, minimal division of labour, and low investment and poor commercialization (Mahou 2008 ). Another serious problem affecting shellfishing on foot is poaching, which is widespread and is sometimes accepted by the community in situations of poverty or social exclusion (Ballesteros and Rodríguez-Rodríguez 2018 ).…”

Fishing resources, as well as fishing activities and policies, are in a state of permanent change, therefore transforming the living and working conditions of coastal and fishing populations. The gender perspective is relevant to understand the challenges faced by men and women in the fishing sector. Galicia (Spain) is one of the main fishing regions in the EU and with the largest number of women working in the fishing sector, especially in shellfishing on foot. Shellfishing on foot, an artisanal and traditional activity for the cultivation and extraction of mainly bivalve molluscs, represents 7% of gross value added (GVA) and 17% of the employment of the Galician fishing sector as a whole. Since the 1960s, a process of regulation and modernization of shellfishing on foot—more than 95% of which is carried out by women—has led to a sharp decrease in the number of shellfish gatherers. The regulatory processes and the professionalization of the sector have resulted in a strong decline in female employment, but, at the same time, women feel empowered and regard their jobs as dignified work. Our objective—through the analysis of the local permits granted to carry out this activity—focuses on the study of the consolidation of this process and has tried to highlight the ways in which patriarchy perpetuates the hegemonic position of men evidenced, for example, by a progressive masculinization of this activity with increasing economic profitability and social prestige.

Analizar a importancia económica da pesca require de información económica detalladarespecto dos inputs, os empregos dos produtos ou a demanda, sendo as táboas input-outputa ferramenta que mellor capacidade ten para amosar a rede de interrelacións e dependenciasentre os distintos sectores da economía.A partir da Táboas input-output da Pesca-Conserva Galega 2011 podemos soster que ocomplexo mar-pesca galega, acadou en 2011 unha cifra de produción de 3.705,4 millóns deeuros, dos que 2.434,7 lle corresponderon a industria conserveira e de alimentos do mar e1.270,7 ao conxunto dos sectores marisqueiro, pesqueiro, mitícola e piscícola mariño,derivándose deles os impactos directos e indirectos, fundamentalmente sobre a economíagalega, pero tamén sobre a economía española e mundial.Da análise da función de producción da pesca galega despréndese que constitúe unhaactividade económica cun elevado poder de arrastre, que produce tiróns en forma de redee/ou de constelación industrial e de servizos nun moi elevado número de sectores. A relacióneconómica directa ven expresada pola dependencia cos 74 sectores que aparecen nas táboas,pero indirectamente relacióna-se á súa vez con todos e cada uns dos que destes dependen.Así mesmo, constátase que se trata dunha actividade económica claramente industrial.
