Information to add to article

1. Countries throughout Central America and the Caribbean have begun to discuss plans that will support the fishing industries there. Organizations (CARICOM and OSPESCA) have gathered 15 representatives to discuss how IUUs have negative effects on both the economies and the environments of their waters. Including both CARICOM and OPESCA in this article would provide more useful examples of RFMOS for anyone interested in researching the work that said organizations are dealing with on a daily basis. By including this recent development, this wikipedia article will be much more updated on current events dealing with IUU's.

2. This article I found from a magazine titled The Grocer taps into not only the main topic at hand of IUU's, but those who are maily behind the illegal fishing. It states the huge economic toll that mainly pirates have placed upon international countries and nations through IUU, as well as the environmental impact of the fishing. The article brings forth important topics that could well be incorporated into this wikipedia article, such as how it is nearly impossible to check and determine if a fish has been IUU caught, and thus can be and will be easily distributed into the UK food supply chains unnoticed and unpunished. The article also tackles the conflicts in "Flags of Convenience" (mentioned shortly in the wikipedia article) and how they are being misrepresented and misused by Pirates, overall defeating their true purposes.

3. In reference to my first addition of advice for this Wikipedia article, numerous countries and organizations that have not been mentioned in this article are active in eliminating, as well as the process of eliminating IUU's worlwide. This article I found from Africa News brings the issue of global shark conservation, calling on organizations such as the IUCM (The MoU on the Conservation of Migratory Sharks). Once again, incorporating important groups striving to end IUU's to the list of RFMO's would not only add examples, but allow for the reader of this Wikipedia article to branch off into one of these organizations in order to develop insightful and factual research involving said committees. I noticed that this Wikipedia article also touches on endangered species and environmental issues; this article from Africa news does also provide more examples of environmental disruption, specifically through species of endangered sharks.

I hope these sources will be helpful in the building of this Wikipedia article! Chrissysoccer916 (talk) 06:03, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Section merge request (Fisheries certification)

The section of this article on certification should, in my opinion, be merged with related material in two other articles -- Sustainable fishery and Sustainable seafood advisory lists and certification -- to produce one new article: Fisheries certification. Thanks, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 23:30, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

The issue raised here was duplicated in several other places. It continues on Talk:Sustainable fishery. --Epipelagic (talk) 02:04, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
