    This document presents case studies for use in FAO regional and subregional workshops to enhance national capacity to elaborate National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing (NPOAs-IUU), in accordance with the FAO international Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate IUU Fishing. Two model case studies are provided to show how States may develop and implement NPOA-IUUs. One case study relates to coastal States, and the other to s mall island developing States. The

    This document contains the report of, and some of the papers presented at, the FAO Regional Workshop on the Elaboration of National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing – Caribbean Subregion which was held at Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, from 22 to 26 November 2004. The purpose of the Workshop was to assist countries in the Caribbean subregion to develop capacity so that they would be better placed to elaborate national plans of actio n to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (NPOAs–IUU). The Workshop addressed issues relating to the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the 2001 International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) and Technical Guidelines No. 9 that have been developed to support the implementation of the IPOA-IUU; concepts of planning and the elaboration of action plans; a case study for the deve lopment of a NPOA-IUU in a small island developing State; decision-making about IUU fishing and skills enhancement through the identification of key issues relating to the elaboration of NPOAs-IUU, the primary vehicle by which the IPOA-IUU will be implemented by countries. Working groups were formed to encourage maximum participation in the Workshop. A review of the major IUU fishing problems in the region and their possible solutions were discussed.

    Combatting Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing through the Global Record Programme - GCP/GLO/595/MUL 2023
    Also available in:

    Addressing illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is crucial as it undermines efforts at national, regional and global levels for effective fisheries management to achieve sustainable fisheries. Over the years, an international framework has been developed to strengthen fisheries management since the adoption of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982. This framework is comprised of both binding agreements and voluntary instruments, and a number of provisions and requirements to specifically address IUU fishing. Within this framework, States, along with Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), need to collaborate to fulfil their international commitments, for which the availability and exchange of information is key. The Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels (Global Record) Programmewas developed to promote data and information exchange standards and mechanisms in fisheries through an Information System, which was developed and launched under this project.
