Audio: Countries meet to tackle US$23 billion illegal fishing trade: FAO
30/05/2017
Illicit fishing costs the world up to US$23 billion a year, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
Countries are meeting this week in Norway’s capital, Oslo, to define responsibilities under a June 2016 treaty that crackdowns on the practice.
