A new report outlines how ocean data transparency can enable seafood companies to eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in their supply chains.

A new modeling approach combines machine learning and human insights to map the regions and ports most at risk for illicit practices and identifies mitigation opportunities.
