No results found.The Sub-Regional Fisheries Commission (SRFC) Workshop on Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) was held in Saly, Senegal, from 14 to 17 October 2002. The workshop objectives were to: (a) sensitize the SRFC Member States on the potential of VMS as a complement to their other monitoring, control and surveillance activities; and (b) foster discussions at a technical level leading to the formulation of a subregional strategy for cooperation on VMS. The workshop proposed that the following actions could be considered by the Coordinating Committee of the SRFC: (a) recommend to the Council of Ministers that the key elements of the report be accepted as a subregional VMS strategy; (b) instruct the Permanent Secretary regarding future actions; and (c) prepare a suitable information document for potential donors and financiers. -
Book (series)Technical reportReport of the Expert Consultation on Fishing Vessels Operating under Open Registries and their Impact on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing. Miami, Florida, United States of America, 23 – 25 September 2003. 2004
Also available in:
This document contains the report of the Expert Consultation on Fishing Vessels Operating under Open Registries and their Impact on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing that was held at at the Southeast Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Miami, Florida, United States of America, from 23–25 September 2003. The Expert Consultation was convened by the Director-General of FAO with a view to facilitating the implemen tation of the 2001 FAO International Plan of Action to Deter, Prevent and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA-IUU). Experts for this Consultation were selected because of their experience with open registries and in the field of fisheries. The Experts focused on the effects of IUU fishing on global fishery resources and on lessons that might be learned from the experiences of flag States that have already implemented tighter control over the activities of their fishi ng vessels. Background papers and three case studies from selected open registry countries were presented. A round table discussion following the presentations led to the adoption of a number of recommendations for more effective application of flag State control over fishing vessels, particularly those operating under open registries, as a means to reduce the incidence of IUU fishing. These recommendations identified measures to be adopted by all States, flag States, coastal States and port Sta tes, as well as for assistance to developing States. Results of the Expert Consultation are intended to provide inputs for a Technical Consultation on IUU fishing, fleet capacity and subsidies that is planned for June 2004, in accordance with a decision of the twenty-fifth session of the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) in February 2003.

No results found.In this fast-evolving world, where technologies, knowledge and food itself are rapidly transforming, our collective need for safe, nutritious, quality food – of course – endures. How can Codex continue to support countries to meet that need in the context of such fast-moving and multifaceted change? In this eighth edition of the CODEX magazine, we touch on this conundrum, which will travel with us in the coming years and inform the work we do, as well as the way we work. In addition to the voices from Member Countries, Observers, the Codex Secretariat and parent organizations, the magazine includes a roundup of what went on in the committee sessions this year, and what work has been forwarded to the 47th session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. -
BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.
