Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing worldwide is bigger than the illicit drug trade, and it is devastating the ocean. Them remedy is Direct Action; a collaborative model that partners with governments to push back on decades of exploitation and neglect using ships, technology, tenacity and a relentless commitment to hands-on, daily solutions. We fight the poachers, cartels, and industrial trawlers that break the law, that push species to the edge, and our crews and volunteers work to bring their days of devastating the ocean to an end.
