    Increasing the Legal and Operational Capacity to Combat IUU Fishing - GCP/INT/321/EC 2023
    Also available in:

    Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing undermines national and regional efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks and, as a consequence, inhibits progress towards achieving the goals of long term sustainability. It deprives the poorest and most food insecure people, who depend on fisheries as a critical source of income and livelihood, puts further pressure on the sustainability of marine ecosystems and constitutes both an impediment and a deterrent to private sector development. Despite strong political will at different levels, the introduction of effective measures to tackle IUU fishing has been slow throughout most regions and in many developing countries. While many States have basic fisheries legislation in place, they often lack the enabling policies, laws and regulations to effectively prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. The present project, part of FAO’s Global Programme to support the implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) and complementary international instruments to combat IUU fishing, aimed to improve the capacity of the target countries for the effective implementation of port State measures (PSMs) and complementary monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) operations, measures and tools to combat IUU fishing. Following the project’s inception, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Peru were identified as recipient countries.

    This document contains the report of the Second Session of the Joint FAO/IMO Ad Hoc Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing and Related Matters (JWG), held in Rome, Italy, on 16–18 July 2007. The UN Commission on Sustainable Development, which met in April 1999, highlighted the issue of flag and port State responsibilities and the need for FAO and the International Maritime Organization (IMO) to cooperate on solving problems relating to IUU Fishing. Accordingly, FAO pr esented a paper to the IMO Maritime Safety Committee suggesting draft terms of reference for an Ad Hoc Working Group. The first session of the JWG was held in Rome, Italy on 9–11 October 2000.
