Illegal fishing has a long history, dating back to ancient times when overfishing and unregulated practices often depleted fish populations. In modern times, the growth of industrial fishing and globalization exacerbated the problem, leading to widespread violations of fishing regulations, particularly in developing countries. International efforts, such as the United Nations' Fisheries Agreements, have been initiated to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, but enforcement remains a challenge. Today, illegal fishing continues to threaten marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of communities dependent on sustainable fisheries.
