DocumentThe marking and identification of fishing vessels 2017
Also available in:
Marking fishing vessels with suitable identifiers is an important tool for fisheries management. It enables identification of fishing vessels in port or at sea, which allows for monitoring of compliance to rules and regulations applicable to the vessel and its fishing activities. Clearly marked vessel identifiers form the basis for a vessels’ inclusion in a vessel register or authorised vessel list. In addition, markings facilitate safety at sea by enabling physical identification and communicat ions between vessels, and can help to deter vessel theft. The Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC) is working to increase awareness and build capacity on vessel marking and identification, among WECAFC members, in support of the national and regional fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and the establishment of a regional vessel record. -
