Tridge summary
Fleets that commit labor abuses with their crews and fish illegally compete unfairly and threaten the survival of the Spanish fishing sector, according to warnings by shipowners and guilds on the occasion of the International Day against Illegal Fishing. The International Day against Illegal, Unregulated and Unregulated Fishing, promoted by the UN, highlights every June 5 public and private efforts against fleets that operate in violation of the law. Illegal fishing causes a loss of between 11 and 26 million tons of fish per year, according to the UN, which is equivalent to between 10,000 and 23,000 million dollars (9,430 million or 21,700 million euros). But in recent times the representatives of the Spanish fleet, NGOs and even spokespersons for international organizations have alerted to the social dimension of this problem and the impact of those operators who do not respect the labor rights of their crew members.
