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.

10. What To Do
In an Emergency
» Secure-in-Place: Place a locked door or other barricade between
you and the associated violence or danger.
» Shelter-in-Place: Move inside to a building space that protects you
from the danger. DO NOT lock doors behind you as others may
also need to shelter-in-place.
» Evacuation: A building evacuation may occur during a life safety
event that directly affects the normal operations of an individual
building on the Virginia Tech campus.
11. How Do I
Secure-in-Place?
When it is necessary to secure-in-place, you will be the safest by
placing a locked door or other barricade between you and the
associated violence or danger.
» REMAIN CALM!
» If you are outside during a secure-in-place emergency you
should seek cover in the nearest unlocked building.
» If the buildings in the immediate area have exterior doors that
have been locked, continue to move away from the danger,
seek cover, move to another building, or leave campus if it is
safe to do so.
» Once inside, find an interior room and lock or barricade the
doors.
» To minimize vulnerability, turn off lights, silence phones, draw
blinds, and move away from windows.
» Await further instruction from VT Alerts and emergency
personnel.
» DO NOT leave until an “All Clear” is received.
12. What If Someone
Wants To Enter a Secure Area?
If there is any doubt about the safety of the individuals inside the
room or building, the area needs to remain secure. Allowing someone
to enter a secure location may endanger you and others.
USE GOOD JUDGMENT.
If there are individuals outside the secured door who wish to get in,
several factors should be considered to determine if it is safe:
» Can you see the area outside the door to determine that
someone is not lying in wait? Is it a trap?
» If a physical description of the subject was given in the
secure-in-place alert, consider similarities such as age, race,
clothing description, height, weight, sex, and hair and eye
color.
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.
13. What If Someone
Wants To Enter a Secure Area?
If the decision is made to let a person in, consider the following:
» Have the person leave anything he or she is carrying (a
backpack, laptop case, package, etc.) on the ground, outside
of the secure area.
» Have the subject lift up his or her shirt, coat, and/or jacket
until the waistline is visible and rotate 360 degrees to see if
he or she is concealing a weapon.
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.
14. What If The Active
Shooter Is In My Building?
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.
Option: Run
» If you can get out safely, do so.
» If others insist on staying, continue to evacuate. Encourage
them to go with you, but you should not let their
indecisiveness stop you.
» Leave your belongings behind.
» Do not attempt to remove injured persons.
» As you exit, remain calm and follow instructions of any first
responders on scene.
» Keep your hands visible at all times, avoid yelling or pointing.
» Once outside safely, warn others of the danger. Call 911.
15. What If The Active
Shooter Is In My Building?
Option: Hide
» If you cannot find a room to secure in, try to place yourself
somewhere out of the shooter’s view. Consider:
» Hiding behind an object large and solid enough to shield you
and provide protection should the shooter begin to shoot in
your direction.
» If you can only hide behind a large object, try to pick
something that does not trap you or restrict your options for
movement should the opportunity to run present itself.
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.
16. What If The Active
Shooter Is In My Building?
Option: Fight
» Act with extreme aggression. If possible, use the element
of surprise.
» Improvise weapons. Throw items. Scream, yell.
» Commit to taking the shooter down, no matter what.
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.

may be carrying ballistic shields.
» The officers may shout commands at you or others,
individuals may be placed on the ground for their own safety.
» You may see first responders moving past you and/or any
wounded individuals. Their initial responsibility is to
neutralize the threat. Other officers may follow to deal with
any wounded or those secured in place.
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.
18. If you encounter first responders:
» REMAIN CALM. Follow officers’ instructions.
» Keep your hands visible at all times.
» If you are carrying any items in your hands, drop them.
» Immediately raise your hands and spread your fingers.
» Avoid making quick movements towards any officer.
» Avoid pointing, screaming/yelling. Especially do not point your
hand(s) towards an officer if you are holding an item such as a
cellphone.
» Do not stop to ask officers for help or direction when
evacuating. There may be officers directing you where to go. If
not, exit in the general direction from which the officers are
entering the building.
What If The Active
Shooter Is In My Building?
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.
19. REMEMBER: It is imperative to understand that this is general
guidance. Every situation is unique and not every suggestion will
apply. There are exceptions to all prescribed directions. Do what is
necessary to protect yourself and others.
What If The Active
Shooter Is In My Building?
Remember, always use common sense. There are exceptions to all
guidance and prescribed directions.
