碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 海洋法律研究所 === 106 === Taiwan is surrounded by the sea. Fishery resources have been an important food and economic activity in Taiwan since ancient times. Population explosions, over-hunting and environmental pollution are becoming more serious, and fishery resources are gradually depleted. The fisherman has made unfavorable acts of unsustainable development of fishery resources for the sake of economic benefits, and has accelerated the depletion of fishery resources. The end of World War II, the international community gradually paid attention to the conservation of ecological resources under the atmosphere of peace, and the call for the establishment of an international fishery management organization gradually emerged. Development of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, Mentioning the obligations of countries to the conservation of ecological resources and the purpose of achieving ecological resource conservation and fisheries management through the purpose of international cooperation.Many international fisheries organizations have established many fisheries management measures. Anti-International Fishery Management Organization or national management measures fishing behavior, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization described it as "illegal, unreported, unregulated fishing " ,.In order to solve this problem, the international community has gradually formulated some measures to prevent illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing . For example, the fishing nations on the high seas should manage their fishing vessels through the jurisdiction of the ship and the jurisdiction over people. The port State shall implement certain measures for the inbound vessels based on the port jurisdiction. The catching market countries shall eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing practices through trade sanctions and embargoes. Countries shall exchange information and agreement management measures through international cooperation. The fishery management is carried out in the same way to achieve the goal of sustainable development of marine ecology. According to a report in the journal Science published on February 22, 2018, Taiwan is the second largest fishing country in the world after China. The number of illegal, unreported and unregulated fisheries fishing activities carried out by Taiwan’s fishing boats is also a world famous European Union issued a yellow card warning to Taiwan in 2015.The yellow card warning in June 2018 did not escalate to the red card warning. However, the Taiwan government should make efforts to improve the policy by this policy. Otherwise, the consequences cannot be imagined. Taiwan amended the Fisheries Law, the Oceanic Fisheries Law, Regulations on the Investment in or the Operation of Foreign Flag Fishing Vessels, established a 24-hour fishery monitoring center, increased observer manpower, etc. However, after the EU officials came to Taiwan in March this year, the ban has still not been lifted. EU officials pointed out that Taiwan still has many problems in eliminating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing practices. This article will review the various measures and put forward the viewpoint of this article. Fisheries can achieve sustainable development.
