Synopsis (short abstract) This Circular provides a history, description and overview of the performance review process of regional fishery bodies (RFBs), and the implementation measures that the RFBs in question have taken, following the reviews. It is an update for, and an expansion upon, FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Circular No. 1072, “Performance Reviews by Regional Fishery Bodies: Introduction, Summaries, Syntheses and Best Practices, Volume I: CCAMLR, CCBST, ICCAT, IOTC, NAFO, NASCO, NEAFC,” written by Marika Ceo, Sarah Fagnani, Judith Swan, Kumiko Tamada and Hiromoto Watanabe. That Circular reviewed seven organizations’ performance reviews, mostly in the Atlantic Ocean, in 2012. The first part of this report offers an overview of the evolution of independent performance reviews in international fisheries management. It describes the spread of the practice between RFBs, the typical composition of performance review panels, their average timetables, cost and methodology. It also describes the criteria to which fisheries bodies are held to in the reviews. In the second part, the Circular studies performance reviews completed by the nineteen RFBs that, at the time of publication, have engaged in the performance review process. The report gives basic information about each RFB, then summarizes the factual findings and recommendations of the reviews. Finally, the report recounts the efforts that each RFB has made in order to implement the recommendations of its performance reviews.
