Veil over the nets (unravelling corporate liability for IUU fishing offences)

L. Griggs and G. Lugten

Marine Policy, 2007, vol. 31, issue 2, 159-168

Abstract: The illegal plundering of fishing stocks worldwide is masked behind a maze of corporate structures that makes discovery of the beneficiaries of such activity, difficult, if not impossible to identify. This paper outlines the problem of illegal fishing and then develops a multi-layered response to avert the veil of corporate entity being used as a means of preventing domestic States from answering the principal thematic question--who is the true beneficiary of this illegal behaviour, and who should be held responsible.
