Book (series)Implementation of the International Plan of Action to deter, prevent and eliminate, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (chinese version) 2007These 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.

Book (series)Report of the Expert Consultation on the Development of a Comprehensive Global Record of Fishing Vessels. Rome, 25–28 February 2008 2008
Also available in:
No results found.The goals of the Expert Consultation were to advise FAO on the development and implementation of a global record of fishing vessels and to respond to the request from FAO’s Committee on Fisheries to further develop the concept as described in the feasibility study. A comprehensive global record, a potential additional tool to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, is envisioned as a global database gathering data from many sources in one location. A major obstacle facing fisheries e nforcement bodies is the lack of access to information on vessel identification, ownership and control. Currently, there is no single source containing basic information about fishing vessels of all sizes. The experts expressed a sense of urgency about the need for this tool. They also believed that a global record should be extensive in scope. They recommended interim activities to raise awareness about the global record and further develop some technical issues in advance of the Committee on Fisheries to be held in 2009.
