SCIENCE WITHOUT BORDERS

Challenge
FISHING UNDER
THE RADAR
Contest Rules
BACKGROUND
The Science without Borders® Challenge is a
contest to get students and teachers more involved
and interested in ocean conservation through
various forms of art. This annual contest inspires
students to be creative while using different types
of media to promote public awareness of the need
to preserve, protect, and restore the world’s oceans
and aquatic resources; thus, contributing to the
overarching goals of the Khaled bin Sultan Living
Oceans Foundation.
The Foundation is a US based, non-profit
foundation dedicated to conserving and restoring
oceans through applied science, education and
outreach, and working with local partners and
governments to promote coral reef conservation.
The founder, His Royal Highness Prince Khaled bin
Sultan of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, understands
the challenges of conserving Earth’s coral reefs
across oceans and political boundaries, and
recognizes that collaboration is vital to ocean
conservation. Inspired by the working approach of
Medecins Sans Frontiers, Prince Khaled proposed
that Science Without Borders® be the motto and
the philosophy of the Foundation.
THEME
The theme for this year’s Science without Borders®
Challenge is ‘Fishing Under the Radar.’
1
For this year’s Challenge, use your artistic talents
to create a piece of art that illustrates Illegal,
Unreported, and Unregulated fishing, this is often
called IUU fishing. Read on to find out more about
IUU fishing.
Why Should We Care About the Ocean?
The Ocean covers over 70% of our planet, so it
should come as no surprise that a healthy ocean is
crucial for our survival. Humans rely on the world’s
oceans to provide many services, they include:
• Food: Provides the only source of animal
protein for millions of people
• Economy: Creates jobs through fishing,
tourism, and recreation
• Climate: Influences global climate and
weather patterns
• Oxygen: More than half the oxygen we
breathe comes from the ocean
• Medicine: New compounds are discovered
in the ocean each year
Overfishing
Our oceans are increasingly under threat from
overfishing, pollution, climate change, and habitat
destruction, among other problems. Overfishing
occurs when we remove too much of any marine
organism. It means that there are too few creatures
left to reproduce and so their population gradually
goes down. To find out more about overfishing

IUU Fishing
Experts calculate that IUU fishing costs the global
economy between $10 and $23 billion per year.
This type of fishing damages conservation and
management efforts, threatens ecosystems and
food security, and sometimes breaks international
laws. IUU fishing is a problem and it contributes
to overfishing in multiple ways. Here are some of
them:
Illegal fishing: Occurs when vessels
are conducting fishing activities without
permission and/or not following the national
or international laws and regulations. Here are
some specific examples: foreign fishing without
consent; domestic fishing without a license or
quota; fishing with restricted fishing gear, in a
closed area or during a closed season keeping
undersized fish; etc.
Unreported fishing: Occurs when fishing
activities have not been reported and/or are
not reported correctly. For example, many
recreational fishers do not have to report their
catch although this is a multi-million dollar
industry. This also includes local fishing for
consumption or small domestic markets.
Unregulated fishing: When fishing occurs on
the high-seas outside of any nation’s territorial
waters where there is irregular regulation and
little enforcement.
One of the reasons that IUU fishing is a major
problem for world fisheries is that it is hard to track.
The quantity of fish caught in IUU fishing is not
accounted for in official fish harvesting numbers.
This means we don’t know how many fish are
removed from an ecosystem. This undermines
fish stock assessments, jeopardizes management
plans for fisheries, and threatens the livelihood of
hundreds of thousands of fishers around the world.
Dr. Daniel Pauly is the Principal Investigator of the
University of British Columbia’s Sea Around Us, a
research project whose members have conducted
a massive-scale investigative effort. He believes
that if you included all IUU fishing from around the
world, yearly catch figures would be 60-70% higher
than we currently record. Watch a short video
about how he made that calculation here: http://
tedxsydney.com/LIVE/?s=138.
Pauly states, “Reconstructing the catch of all
countries of the world from 1950 on was a huge
amount of work, but it was worthwhile: we now
know the size of the beast called I-U-U, and we can
now attempt to tame it.”
IUU fishing is a large, multifaceted problem, but
it includes many known entities, so tackling it lies
firmly within our grasp.
