    The 2nd meeting of the Regional Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing, was held in Barbados in the period 19 - 21 September 2017. Thirty-five fisheries Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) officers, fisheries managers and other experts from 16 WECAFC members participated in this meeting. At the meeting, the MCS officers were updated on the International Plan of Action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing (IPOAIUU), the Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels, and specific measures needed in the Caribbean region to effectively reduce IUU fishing. This technical meeting also discussed and agreed on various essential fisheries management measures, such as on fishing vessel marking and identification, the establishment of a regional fishing vessel record and regional IUU vessel lists. These measures will, once adopted by WECAFC allow the fisheries inspectors, coast guard, navy and port officials to easily identify fishing vessels and see if the vessels have the necessary authorizations to fish.

    Este es el informe de la 2ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo Regional sobre la Pesca Ilegal No, Declarada y no Reglamentada, realizado en Barbados, el 19, 20 y 21 de septiembre de 2017. La reunión sirvió como la 2ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo sobre la Pesca Ilegal, No Documentada, y No Reglamentada de la Comisión de Pesca para el Atlántico Centro Occidental (COPACO), el Mecanismo Regional de Pesca del Caribe (CRFM), la Organización del Sector Pesquero y Acuícola del Istmo Centroamericano (OSPESCA). Expertos de 16 países de la COPACO, e igualmente, expertos internacionales participaron de TM Tracking. Personal y personas de apoyo de la FAO también contribuyeron a la reunión. La participación en la reunión estuvo limitada por los dos huracanes de categoría 5, Irma y María, que afectaron varios países del Caribe, e igualmente a la Florida en las semanas anteriores a la reunión, e hizo que viajar a la reunión desde algunas de las islas, fuera imposible. El Grupo de Trabajo les deseó a los países que no pudieron asistir, una recuperación exitosa de la devastación que los afectó. Esta reunión fue posible por el generoso apoyo financiero recibido de parte de la DG Mare de la Unión Europea. Apoyo adicional fue recibido del Fondo del Proyecto GCP/SLC/001/WBK – Picudos del Caribe, coordinado por el Banco Mundial, financiado por el GEF, e implementado por la FAO y la COPACO. El Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación, Pesca, y Manejo de Recursos Acuáticos del Gobierno de Barbados fue también co-anfitrión de esta reunión.

The Regional Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing (RWG-IUU) is a joint working group of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), and Organization for Fisheries and Aquaculture of Central America (OSPESCA). The 52 participating experts, representing 21 WECAFC Members, were presented with and discussed many aspects of IUU fishing. This first meeting contributed to: 1) increasing awareness and understanding of the IUU fishing problem in the Caribbean region; and 2) increasing capacity for a more effective collaboration in preventing, deterring and eliminating IUU fishing in the Caribbean region, with emphasis on experiences from other regions with vessel monitoring systems (VMS) and monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) supporting measures, as well as on international and regional instruments to combat IUU fishing, such as the 2009 FAO Port State Measures Agreement. The meeting also finalized and agreed on its ToRs and work plan for the 2017–2018 RWG-IUU period, to be endorsed by CRFM and WECAFC, and discussed elements to be included in a Regional Plan of Action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing (RPOA-IUU)/ La 1ª reunión del Grupo de Trabajo Regional sobre la Pesca Ilegal, No Declarada y No Reglamentada se realizó en Barbados, los días 1 y 2 de Marzo de 2017.

    The FAO Workshop on Implementing the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (the Agreement) that was held at the Four Points Hotel in Montevideo, Uruguay, from 29 September to 3 October 2014. The workshop focused on the implementation of the Agreement from the policy, legal, institutional, capacity development, and operations standpoints. Following a short introduction, participants were briefed on the status of the Agreement in the Latin American and Caribbean region and were informed that two countries of this region, namely Chile and Uruguay, had already ratified the Agreement. The need to implement the Agreement, both at the global and the regional levels, was stressed. Key provisions for the implementation of the Agreement were highlighted at the workshop along with the role of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) in supporting implementation of port State measures. The questionnaire that had bee n distributed to participating countries in advance of the workshop, with the purpose of improving their understanding of present practices, procedures and legal frameworks of countries in the region on port State measures, was analysed to ensure that recommendations to be made for the region were based on a sound knowledge basis. The role of fisheries managers and inspectors in implementing the Agreement was also highlighted. Participatory activities in working groups were conducted which led t o the formulation of recommendations both at the regional and national levels. Opportunities for regional cooperation among countries were also addressed. The evaluation of the workshop by the participants was positive. Funding for the workshop was provided by the Norwegian Government through the project "Support to the effective application of 2009 FAO Agreement on port State measures to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing" (GCP/GLO/515/NOR).
