West Africa has the highest rates of illegal and unreported fishing in the world, with up to 50% of fishing in West African waters being illegal. In one 18-month period, over 250 illegal fishing incidences were reported. These illegal fishing trips cost the region over $1.3 million every year. Some of these fish have been sent to the European Union, as reported in 2010.
