Fishery landings of UK EEZ far surpass that of the Chagos (and the Indian Ocean too).
Far more fish are landed from UK waters than from those of the entire Chagos EEZ. The Sea Around Us Project by PEW provides a tool to take stock of local extractions; a window into recorded landings. And as seen, these extractions the UK EEZ are at detrimentally high rates and target many threatened species. The UK's level of illegal fishing is much higher than the global average. When diving into Indian Ocean fishery management, it would be wise for the UK to construct a stable platform from which to launch.
