Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) during a June 2025 Appropriations Subcommittee hearing. “Russia has declared war on Alaska seafood,” Murkowski said at the hearing, “and they have been very direct, and very open about it. They are using their dominance in the seafood market to help fund their war against Ukraine.”

China and IUU Fishing: The alarming truth behind the world’s biggest fleets
Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, abbreviated to IUU, refers to a range of practices which, in their own way, undermine the sustainable management of fishery resources. According to the FAO International Plan of Action adopted in 2001, fishing is considered to be illegal when it deliberately contravenes the laws in force, for example when vessels operate without a license, in prohibited zones or in violation of quotas. Undeclared fishing occurs when activities are not registered with the relevant authorities, thus escaping monitoring and regulation. Finally, it is considered unregulated when carried out in areas where no clear regulations apply, notably on the high seas or on species not yet covered by a specific management regime.
