USCGC Stone (WMSL 758) patrols high seas observing fishing activity to support Operation Southern Cross in the South Atlantic, Jan. 2, 2021. Illegal, Unregulated, and Unreported (IUU) fishing jeopardizes global food security, destabilizes coastal States' economic security, and violates state sovereignty by undermining international agreements and fisheries conservation measures.
