No results found.The General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM) Workshop on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing in the Mediterranean (Rome, 23 and 26 June 2004) suggested a work plan for consideration by GFCM in its efforts to combat IUU fishing in the Mediterranean, stressing the importance of adopting a practical, step-by-step approach to implementing the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU). Relevant ba ckground information and issues were carefully reviewed along with activity being carried out by GFCM and other regional fisheries management organizations, including the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. The Workshop noted that the tools used to combat IUU fishing should fit the special circumstances of the Mediterranean fisheries and the GFCM mandate, in their functioning and with respect to conservation and management issues, particularly at national level. Salient issues at regional level were considered, including a register or record of fishing vessels, inspection, enforcement and an observer programme, reporting, transshipment and vessel monitoring systems. The difficulties in identifying and quantifying IUU fishing activities were discussed; the negligible fishing for non-tuna species in the Mediterranean since 1997 was noted and it was suggested that further identification and quantification be based around GFCM management measures, in parti cular the operational units. It was recommended that Members be invited by the Commission to formulate National Plans of Action on IUU fishing and carry them out. -
Book (series)Report of the FAO/CECAF Workshop on Port State Measures to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing for the West African Subregion. Accra, Ghana, 9–12 June 2009. 2009
Also available in:
This document contains the report of the FAO/CECAF Workshop on Port State Measures to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing for the West African Subregion, which was held in Accra, Ghana, from 9 to 12 June 2009. The objective of the Workshop was to develop national capacity and promote bilateral, subregional and regional coordination so that countries would be better placed to strengthen and harmonize port State measures and, as a result, implement the relevant tools of the 2001 FAO International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, the 2005 FAO Model Scheme on Port State Measures to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing and the 2009 Chairperson’s draft Agreement on Port State Measures to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, when it enters into force. At the conclusion of the workshop a brainstorming session was held with the goal of looking ahead to identify aims and targets for bilateral, subregional and regional cooperation and harmonization of port State measures; identify some measures and mechanisms that could be used to implement harmonized port State measures on a bilateral, subregional and regional basis and to identify the scope for implementation of the draft Agreement by countries in the West African subregion. Funding and support for the workshop were provided by the FAO Regular Programme and by the Governments of Norway and Sweden through the FishCode Programme. -
Book (series)NPOA - Report of the FAO Regional Workshop on the Elaboration of National Plans of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing - Certain Countries of the Near East Region. Cairo, Egypt, 11-15 December 2005 2006

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 – Certain Countries of the Near East Region, which was held in Cairo, Egypt, from 11 to 15 December 2005. The purpose of the Workshop was to assist countries in the region to develop capacity to elaborate national plans of action to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unrep orted and unregulated fishing (NPOAs–IUU). The Workshop addressed issues relating to the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the 2001 FAO International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA–IUU) and the FAO Fisheries Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries No. 9 that have been developed to support the implementation of the IPOA–IUU; concepts of planning and the elaboration of action plans; 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. Funding for the Workshop was provided by the FAO Regular Programme with support from the FishCode Programme through component project GCP/INT/849/USA, “Support for Implementation of the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishingâ€Â.
