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.
AHMR is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online journal created to encourage and facilitate the study of all aspects (socio-economic, political, legislative and developmental) of Human Mobility in Africa. Through the publication of original research, policy discussions and evidence research papers AHMR provides a comprehensive forum devoted exclusively to the analysis of contemporaneous trends, migration patterns and some of the most important migration-related issues.

The program will expand our perspectives and appreciation for our blue planet, build new foundations for our relationship to the ocean, and ignite a wave of action toward necessary change.
2. “I learned how to look at life again – not for
what I no longer had, but for what I could
have and did have.”
3. About the Partnership
Over 50,000 men and women have been wounded or
injured in combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom and
Operation Enduring Freedom.
Fractures, amputations, burns, spinal cord injuries, and
gunshot wounds have been some of the most common
physical wounds, and the effects of the wounds continue
to plague veterans long after they exit the military.
4. About the Partnership
Ride2Recovery’s primary mission is to help veterans
recover and rehabilitate from the mental and
physical wounds of combat through cycling.
They do this by restoring hope and purpose to
veterans.
Providing a way FOR life
Vets helping Vets
It’s not a handout, It’s hard work
Serving over 10,000 Veterans
Founded on cycling based programs
5. Why is Cycling Important?
Cycling is a great form of exercise.
It’s also a means of self-
management intervention, which can
help a veteran to recover, and
improve outcomes through the
course of their lifetime.
Cycling is an activity that almost
anyone can participate in…even
those with amputations, or other
combat-related conditions.
An added benefit is that it’s easier on
the lower extremities.
6. Project HERO
Project HERO (Healing Exercise Rehabilitation
Opportunity) is a R2R program that provides training and
support to promote the recovery and rehabilitation of
veterans.
Veteran participants in Project HERO often suffer from
physical injuries or PTSD, and cycling is not only a
physical exercise that benefits these veterans, but this
activity is also a way they can recover from the mental
and emotional wounds through a challenging community
activity with fellow veterans.
7. Adaptive Equipment
R2R utilizes adaptive equipment for veterans, so no
matter the injury they may have, they can still participate
in this outstanding adventure.
8. Delvin
Before coming to R2R, Delvin, a
quadruple amputee, was told it wouldn’t
be possible for him to ride a bike! But
Delvin refused to let his injuries stop
him.
His bike uses a very special unit on the
handle bar that incorporates Shimano
DI2 electronic shifting and hydraulic disc
brakes into a very unique and
customized “control center.” All of that
allows him to steer, shift and brake with
precision and ease.
His C85 prosthetic hand uses a specially
adapted Thomson seat post as a
mounting unit for the prosthetic. With his
prosthetic legs he can pedal as normal.
9. How the Experience Helps
Ride2Recovery offers a practical way to change the way
these vets think about the challenge. R2R gives them a
hurdle, and the means to get past it with support from
others who are undergoing the same troubles.
As Delvin’s story shows, physical limitations present their
own hurdles to our wounded warriors, and finding new
ways to remain healthy and active can be a challenge. But
with the adaptive equipment, they don’t have to give up on
activities they enjoy.
10. R2R Had 18 Bikes Stolen!
In March, 18 bikes were stolen from a Ride2Recovery
storage facility near San Diego! Some of the bikes stolen
were customized, adaptive equipment, and cost around
$2,500.
After learning of this misfortune, DVNF jumped to action,
donating $20,000 to Ride2Reovery to help replace the
stolen equipment.

11. Next Steps
DVNF has shown great interest in supporting initiatives that make
life easier for veterans with disabilities.
In 2014, DVNF gave a $50,000 grant to help the Human Engineering
Research Laboratories (HERL) buy a new and important piece of
equipment! Thanks to generous donor support, HERL can continue
to develop groundbreaking adaptive devices for veterans like Delvin!

12. Next Steps
Disabled Veterans National Foundation wants to help
Ride2Recovery purchase even more equipment for
veterans!
With generous donor support, DVNF will give at least
$30,000 more to R2R, which will allow more veterans the
opportunity to heal from mental and physical wounds!
Your support is critical for this outstanding opportunity.
