【危險鄰居】系列七：《非法捕撈的嚴重後果》
自由開放的印太地區意味著良善治理、符合國際標準的經濟活動，以及免於威脅和脅迫的自由。若要實現這個願景，需要各國以有建設性的方式共同合作。
美國海岸防衛隊以及《科學進展》（Science Advances）期刊新近發表的一份報告表示，非法捕撈對環太平洋國家的經濟，環境和安全構成了嚴重威脅。這份題為《曝光在北韓的黑暗捕魚船隊》的報告凸顯了在環太平洋地區的非法捕撈的種種風險。該報告由設在華盛頓的科學研究中心的 全球漁業觀察指出，「黑暗船隊」指的是那些未公開宣布的其位置的船隊，而這是說明它們正在從事非法的活動、不報告的、不受管制的（IUU, illegal, unreported and unregulated）捕撈活動的一個普遍指標。全球漁業觀察利用衛星技術和機器學習來追踪中國船隻在北韓水域的捕撈活動，他們可能違反了聯合國的制裁措施的捕撈活動。

【Dangerous Neighbor】The dire effects of illegal fishing
A free and open Indo-Pacific means good governance, economic activities that accord with international standards, and freedom from threats and coercion. Achieving this vision requires countries to work together in a constructive way.
Illegal fishing poses a severe threat to the economies, environment and security of Pacific Rim nations, according to the U.S. Coast Guard and a new report in the journal Science Advances. The report — titled Illuminating Dark Fishing Fleets in North Korea — highlights the risks of illegal fishing in the Pacific Rim. The report was authored by the Washington-based scientific research center Global Fishing Watch and a group of international research organizations. Global Fishing Watch says “dark fleets” are vessels that do not publicly broadcast their location, a common indicator they are engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Global Fishing Watch used satellite technologies and machine learning to track fishing by Chinese vessels in North Korean waters — fishing likely in violation of United Nations sanctions.
