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

IUU+DB is a large language model-driven system designed to create a global incident database for tracking illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU+) fishing activities and related crimes. It utilizes information extraction techniques to classify documents, extract critical data elements such as actors and locations, and enables deduplication and trend analysis. This tool is significant for practitioners as it enhances the ability to analyze fragmented data, identify hotspots, and support risk assessments and policy enforcement in the fisheries sector.
