It is beyond doubt that many of the players involved in IUU fishing take part in transnational organized fisheries crime involving criminal activity along the whole value chain for fish. This may also include trafficking in human beings, use of violence, tax and customs fraud as well as corruption and document fraud. The problems are global and must be confronted as such. In November 2016, Norway entered into a NOK 39.6 million agreement with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) with the aim of combatting transnational organized fisheries crime. The project will run from 2017 to 2020. Norway also supports the Interpol Fisheries Crime Working group. Through its current chairmanship of the Nordic Council of Ministers Norway is also providing financial support to the North Atlantic Fisheries Intelligence Group and the fisheries crime research initiative PescaDolus. The efforts against transnational organized fisheries crime are a part of the Norwegian Fish for Development Programme.
