The Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics Law Enforcement awarded a $300,000 project grant to American University under the Trans-National Crime federal grant program (CFDA 19.705) to understand the scope of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing-related legislation in the Caribbean, Central America, and South America regions and identify government-backed malign actors violating these laws. The grant period is from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. As part of the Trans-National Crime program's goal to minimize the impact of transnational crime through enhanced international cooperation, this project will analyze IUU fishing laws and cooperation across relevant countries to provide information on reducing criminal behavior threatening sustainable fisheries.
