Who really owns the world’s fishing fleets? 🎣 The answer is often harder to uncover than it should be. Ultimate beneficial ownership (UBO) transparency helps reveal the individuals who profit from, or control, fishing vessels, even when ownership is buried behind complex and opaque corporate structures. Without transparency, illegal fishing activity can be harder to trace, investigate and stop. Global Fishing Watch’s Krizia Matthews explains why UBO transparency matters for accountability at sea and how vessel tracking tools like AIS and VMS can support stronger fisheries monitoring and enforcement.
