KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is working with United Nations-aligned bodies to achieve sustainable fish stocks that have been depleting due to over-fishing and illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing methods including fish-bombing.

State Agriculture and Food Industry Minister Datuk Junz Wong (pic) said the state Fisheries Department was working with the UN's Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) to achieve Sustainable Development Goals 14 - sustainability below the water - in its fisheries sector.
