The methodology used in this scientific article used a qualitative bibliographic research of publications by the Brazilian Government, International Organizations and Non-Governmental Organizations, internet consultations, articles, academic works and books directly related to the topic in question. As main results, it is possible to verify the existence and harmfulness that illegal fishing activities can cause in Amazônia Azul® and how Brazilian institutions interact to counteract this threat and prevent its expansion. In conclusion, it is envisaged actions that Brazil can adopt to deter, prevent and reduce illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, in accordance with national interests and in order to establish itself in international decision-making processes, expanding its global responsibilities.
