In 2017, the UN Security Council banned North Korea from selling fishing permits, but new monitoring methods show that hundreds of vessels originating from China have been fishing in North Korean waters in apparent violation of sanctions.

Join us for a panel discussion to explore the implications for sanctions and fisheries management.
