Synopsis (short abstract) Forty-three secretaries of regional fisheries bodies, with diverse mandates and from all geographic regions, including FAO and non-FAO regional fisheries bodies, marine and inland fishery advisory and management bodies, the UNDOALOS and invited organizations, participated in the Seventh Meeting of the Regional Fishery Body Secretariats’ Network. Discussions covered major subjects of regional concern, comprising the activities and outcomes from UNGA and UNDOALOS, the UN discussion process on Biodiversity in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction, the implementation of activities in delivering the 2030 Agenda, the experience of RFBs initiatives, the cooperation of regional bodies and Fisheries and Resources Monitoring Systems, the 33rd Session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI 33) related matters and global processes and subjects relevant to RFBs and RFMOs, and the state of progress to strengthen the RSN, including current needs and challenges. The RSN Chair’s Statement, delivered at the COFI 33, is annexed to this report. The meeting had a high level of participation that underlined the role of the Network as a unique forum to foster cooperation, facilitate discussion and exchange of experiences. It noted the increased interest in the international agenda on the role of RFBs as key players in translating international and global policies into practice at the regional and local levels.
