"Protection against illegal, undeclared and unregulated (IUU) fishing is also crucial for the sustainability of resources and the activities of fishing communities in the Azores. The region in which we live possesses the largest exclusive economic zone in Europe. However, in the absence of continental shelves, this vast area has a lot of very deep water but few fish. The balanced exploitation of these fragile ecosystems is crucial if their deterioration is to be prevented. However, preventing IUU fishing in this area is difficult, because of the vastness of our waters, and of the insufficient and inappropriate methods that Portugal has been using to control the amount of fishing in our waters. It is therefore necessary that the European Union intervene and that priority be given to adequate surveillance and to control methods capable of counteracting this threat and monitoring and controlling the illegal activities that are squandering our resources, thus endangering them and threatening the survival of our fishing communities."@en1
