A world where illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing faces real consequences - where detection leads to meaningful action, and where coastal States have the tools, intelligence, policies and partnerships to protect their waters and safeguard the communities who depend on them.
VISION
By 2027, the JAC will be a globally recognised and trusted coalition providing a single, coherent source of analytical and operational support for governments and regional bodies working to strengthen their monitoring, control, surveillance(MCS) and enforcement systems. The JAC delivers reliable intelligence and supports policy alignment that reinforce deterrence, improve fisheries compliance, and enable credible action against IUU fishing.
This mission is realised through deeper regional and national cooperation, where sustained engagement, shared intelligence, coordinated enforcement, and transparent policy limit the space for IUU operators to act with impunity.
MISSION
HOW WE WORK
The JAC operates through three integrated areas of expertise, connected through a shared analytical core.
1. High quality analysis
JAC provides reliable, high-quality analytical support through its analysts, who integrate and interpret data from multiple sources to produce actionable intelligence products that support investigation, verification, and operational planning.
2. Data and technology
JAC ensures the technological and data foundations needed for effective intelligence work, including interoperable tools, secure data sources, vessel information systems, and automated analytics that strengthen monitoring, detection, and verification.
3. Building operational capacity
JAC works directly with national and regional authorities to strengthen operational capacity through casework, mentoring, risk assessments, due diligence, inspection support, and evidence development, all aligned with national priorities and operational workflows.
