IUU+DB: Tracking Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated Fishing, Seafood Fraud, and Labor Abuse through LLM-driven Information Extraction

Researchers have developed a new framework called IUU+DB that utilizes large language models to extract and aggregate data on illegal fishing, seafood fraud, and labor abuses. By automating the analysis of unstructured information, the system aims to improve transparency and monitoring across global supply chains. This approach addresses current gaps in tracking non-compliant maritime activities, potentially aiding regulatory efforts to enforce environmental and human rights standards in the fishing industry.
