No results found.The Thirteenth Session of the Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS) Steering Committee (FSC13) was held in London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Hybrid meeting) on 26–27 and 30 June 2023. Driven by a survey on the use of FIRMS by partners and relevant institutions, the FSC13 deliberated strategic decisions for the next decade, including the timely data provision in support to the FAO SOFIA State of Stocks (SoS), the contribution to the design and reporting on fisheries management in context of the new FAO COFI sub-committee on fisheries, prioritizing the strengthening of small-scale fisheries data collection, and fostering interoperability among partners’ databases. Along those key decisions, FSC13 agreed for further work on the FIRMS Global Tuna Atlas (GTA), on the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) and on FIRMS standards and terminologies for which several definitions were reviewed and approved. A workplan was elaborated to address all decisions made by FSC13 covering also the upgrade of the FIRMS system and the support to capacity building to FIRMS Partners. -

No results found.The tenth session of the Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS) Steering Committee (FSC10) offered the opportunity to discuss several matters among eleven partners - seven members and four associate members that were represented - Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources [CCAMLR], Food and Agricultural organization of the United Nations [FAO], General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean [GFCM]; Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission [IATTC]; Interna tional Council for the Exploration of the Sea [ICES]; Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization [NAFO], South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation [SEAFO]; Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic [CECAF], Southwest Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission [SWIOFC], Regional Commission for Fisheries [RECOFI], and Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission [WECAFC]. The Committee established that the efforts carried out on timeliness of stock status reports were fruitful with a major part of the database being up-to-date, and agreed that the effort should now shift to expanding the coverage by gaining new Partner RFBs, an objective which will be facilitated by an amendment to the Partnership Arrangement. A major outcome of FSC10 is the decision that FIRMS should take ownership of the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries currently developed under the BlueBRIDGE project and will make use of this enhanced tooling capacity to offer data services for the monitoring of national stocks mo nitored by countries under SDG14.4.1 ‘Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels’ -

No results found.The sixth session of the Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS) Technical Working Group (TWG6) jointly with the third External Advisory Board (EAB) Technical Working Group (TWG3) of the BlueBRIDGE European-funded project offered the opportunity to present and discuss the on-going and the future activities of the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) among FIRMS, BlueBRIDGE and External Advisory Board partners. GRSF was created as a Virtual Research Environment (VRE) during the BlueBRIDGE project to offer: 1) increased dissemination and monitoring of stocks and fisheries information, including in support to the Sustainable Development Goal Indicator 14.4.1“Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels” of 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development (A/RES/71/313), 2) support to traceability needs including catch documentation schemes, ecolabelling schemes, food safety, and sustainable fisheries. A business plan is being elaborated to ensure its long-term exploitation and development. The basis of this business plan is a proposal by FIRMS during its 10th FIRMS Steering Committee (FSC10) to take over the ownership of the GRSF VRE for its sustainable maintenance and development, however with some concerns.
