    Implementation of the International Plan of Action to deter, prevent and eliminate, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing 2002
    These guidelines have been produced to support implementation of the International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU). They are addressed to decision-makers and policy-makers associated with the management of fisheries, but they should also be of interest to fishing industries and other parties. The IPOA-IUU is consistent with the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, as well as with the 1993 Agreement to Promote Complia nce with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas, the 1995 Agreement for the Implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 Relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks and other applicable rules of international law. The guidelines are intended to provide general advice and a framework for development and implementation of national plans of action.

    The International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU) requires that FAO should further investigate the issue of IUU fishing. This Circular provides a global perspective on initiatives at the international level and by regional fishery bodies or arrangements (RFBs) to combat IUU fishing. This Circular reviews and comparatively analyses responses and action taken by RFBs to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. It is based on r esponses by RFBs to a questionnaire, and identifies progress in the implementation of the IPOA-IUU. It also analyses common trends and challenges for RFBs in combating IUU fishing, noting common actions and approaches to solutions, as well as any relevant impact on IUU fishing. ...more.

    Applying the principles and approaches from Volume 1 of this series, this practical guide details the steps necessary to plan, execute and present estimates of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. For the initial planning phase, the guide provides information on how to work with stakeholders to define objectives, examine and catalogue available data, and then match the objectives with the available data to determine the most useful estimation methods. Also discussed are subsequent steps involving designing a conceptual model, triangulating alternative approaches, dealing with data gaps and biases, and accounting for uncertainty. For the execution phase, guidance is provided for developing and running models, including checking preliminary outputs with stakeholders and experts, before refining and finalizing results. Guidance for the final presentation phase focuses on how to ensure the methodology, data inputs and gaps, and assumptions are clearly explained. As in the first two phases, allowing for feedback from stakeholders on the study results, and refining the outputs as necessary, will strengthen both the quality of the work and its uptake by decision-makers.
