The Pacific island nation of Tuvalu has signed a memorandum of understanding with Sea Shepherd Global to have the latter conduct sea patrols as a deterrent to increasing levels of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing occurring Tuvalu’s waters. Specifically, the Sea Shepherd’s Allankay marine conservation vessel will support Tuvalu’s law enforcement effort in sea patrols, and will have authority to board, inspect, and arrest fishing vessels engaged in criminal activities within Tuvalu’s territorial waters.
