Read some press coverage on Thursday's congressional hearing on illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing.
----------
Mar 19, the Deputy Commandant for Operations, RADM Sally Brice-O'Hara, testified on illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing before House of Representatives Committe on Natural Resources, Subcommittee on Insular Affairs, Oceans and Wildlife.
This testimony on IUU touches on many of the points made during the State of the Coast Guard Address earlier this month. It emphasizes the domestic and international economic importance of marine fisheries, it highlights the unique value and reach of our law enforcement authorities and need for robust offshore capabilities, and our ability to improve protection of the global marine ecosystem through international law and partnerships.
