Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

2015-16 ROTARACT OUTSTANDING PROJECT AWARDS
INTERNATIONAL WINNERS
INTERNATIONAL – SINGLE CLUB
Rotaract Club of Bugolobi (District 9211, Uganda ) for “’1000 smiles’ Kanabulemu Edition”
The residents of Rakai district, an area greatly affected by HIV/AIDS, were all smiles when the Rotaractors
arrived. Working alongside local doctors, schools, and the Uganda Health Marketing Group (UHMG) they
provided everything from school supplies to comprehensive medical screenings, dental exams, and HIV
screenings and prevention education. Since access to safe clean drinking water is the primary reason children miss
school, the club also dug a borehole to bring clean water to the village. Aiming to “cover as many of Rotary’s areas
of focus as possible” these enterprising Rotaractors were supported by other Rotaract clubs in the region as well as
their sponsor, The Rotary Club of Bugolobi. Photos

REGIONAL WINNERS
ASIA PACIFIC
Rotaract Club of Metro Cebu-CIT Chapter (District 3860, Philippines) for “Project WASHEd-UP (Water Adequacy, Sanitation and
Hygiene Education to Uplift the People)”
Project WASHEd-UP transformed the lives of kids at Tagatay Elementary School in a remote area in the
Philippines in need of clean water and sanitation. In a three-part process the Rotaractors constructed a PET bottle
water tank to safely store rain water, taught the importance of hygiene and sanitation to prevent disease, and
treated students with skin infections or intestinal parasites to improve overall health. Using recyclable materials
was an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional steel and concrete tanks, and reduced the overall cost
of the project by more than 75%. Teachers, students, and key stakeholders were involved in the development,
installation, and training to promote a strong sense of community ownership. Video

SOUTH ASIA
Rotaract Club of The Caduceus (District 3140, India) for “The Jana Swasthya Project”
As doctors and medical students, these Rotaractors were inspired after volunteering in 2013 at one of the world’s
largest religious gatherings, the Kumbh Mela, to establish a digital disease surveillance system to study
epidemiological disease trends. Harnessing the power of mobile internet technology they replaced a redundant
paper system of data tracking allowing government officials and experts to access live data in a few simple clicks.
An incredible 35,000 individual patient visits were recorded, marking a landmark shift in the process of health
surveillance. The government is interested in implementing this groundbreaking model in local health clinics,
bringing “Jana Swasthya,” meaning public health and welfare in Hindi, to communities across the country. Photos
EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST, AND CENTRAL ASIA
Rotaract Club of Istanbul-Dolmabahçe (District 2420, Turkey) for “Still Child!”
Taking a stand against the destructive consequences of underage marriage on young women and girls, Rotaractors
organized conferences in rural areas where the practice is still common. Local experts, psychologists, and doctors
educated local residents how girls in underage marriages are statistically undereducated and prone to medical and
psychological issues presented by early childbirth and domestic violence. Traditionally a taboo subject, they are
working alongside local governments, community organizations, and the media to break the silence and end the
violence. And harnessing the power of social media to tell their story, they’ve recruiting celebrities and
Rotaractors around the region to show their support for “Still Child!” through videos, photos, and stories. Video
SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Rotaract Club of Lagune de Cotonou (District 9102, Benin) for “Notre Bibliotheque”
Rotaractors and Rotarians worked side-by-side to convert an abandoned building into a library for local
neighborhood kids and the nearly 400 children attending Zogbadjè Primary Public School. Not only did
Rotaractors design, fundraise, and implement construction plans, they stocked the new library with tables,
benches, and more than 500 books to give the kids a fun and inviting space to grow and learn. The first of it’s kind
in the area, most of the children do not have ready access to books and school supplies. Rotaractors, Rotarians,
and teachers hope the new library will continue to grow as more books and school supplies are donated to help
kids of all ages reach their full potential. Photos
LATIN AMERICA
Rotaract Club of Nova Geração Itabaiana (District 4390, Brazil) for “Projeto Sergipe”
To break the cycle of poverty among Itabaina’s young people, Rotaractors enrolled 100 students in literacy and
professional development courses over a period of eight months in partnership with public literacy programs. The
club developed a network of community partners and volunteers that donated meeting space for classes and
lectures, developed curriculum and trainings based on volunteer’s professional expertise, distributed educational
materials and resources to students, and promoted the program through local radio stations, schools, and public
spaces. Receiving both local and national recognition for their success, the club uses donations and grant money
to provide scholarships to participants to help cover the cost of the program. Photos
