This awareness day was established by the United Nations to highlight the detrimental impact of illegal fishing on marine ecosystems, coastal communities, and food security. It aims to promote international collaboration and effective enforcement of fishing regulations to ensure sustainable use of ocean resources and the protection of marine biodiversity.
