“…10,654 (Amending Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998) in 2014, including several new provisions that became the basis for an important shift in national legislation to combat IUU fishing. In Section 3, illegal fishing refers to fishing activities conducted by Philippine fishing vessels operating in violation of Philippine laws, Regional Fisheries Management Organization resolutions, and laws of other coastal states [20]. China's official documents provide multiple definitions and descriptions of IUU fishing.…”

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing is a massive problem that poses a significant threat to the sustainability of marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on fishing for their food and income. Many issues have emerged, such as declining fishery resources, regional fishery incidents, political impacts, and disputes over sovereignty, which all have mutual and complicated effects on IUU fishing, eventually hindering the sustainability of marine fisheries. In this situation, the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as China) has tried to undertake some efforts to combat IUU fishing over the past few years using domestic regulation and international cooperation, especially in the South China Sea. This article discusses the seriousness of IUU fishing; examines the causes of IUU fishing in the South China Sea; analyzes why frequent fishing conflicts have increased in the South China Sea; identifies what IUU fishing is, based on its definition in the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) and in other countries; and examines what actions have been undertaken to prevent IUU fishing in China from international and national perspectives. By analyzing the cause of IUU fishing, identifying its scope and nature, and demonstrating China’s position on it, this study aims to prove that China has taken some positive measures to combat IUU fishing in the South China Sea. To promote the sustainable development of fisheries in the South China Sea, uniting China and other South China Sea states against IUU fishing could be an efficient way in the future.

“…The EU's trade-based control of IUU fishing has had a demonstrable impact on both national fisheries management systems and the conduct of fishers. For example, after receiving a yellow card in 2014 the Philippine government amended the national Fisheries Code, leading to stronger penalties for legal violations and a greater emphasis on data collection and monitoring (Republic Act 10654) (Espenilla, 2019;Oceana, 2017). Similarly, Thailand revised their fisheries legislation and implemented a series of reforms in the monitoring and surveillance of fishing vessels in reaction to concerns over "slave" labour in Thai fishing fleets (Marschke & Vandergeest, 2016) Despite its apparent success and a call to extend such measures to other major import markets (e.g.…”
