The Task Force, made up of a group of fisheries ministers and international NGOs, will meet to develop an action plan designed to combat illegal, unregulated and unreported fishing on the high seas. The Task Force will then be able to identify a set of priorities among a series of authoritative proposals for confronting the challenges of IUU fishing on the high seas.
