GuidelineImplementation of the International Plan of Action to deter, prevent and eliminate, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing 2002These 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.

Technical reportAPFIC regional consultative workshop. Managing fishing capacity and illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in Asia 2007
Also available in:
No results found.An account of the workshop held from 13 to 15 June 2007 in Phuket, Thailand. Experts from 13 commission member countries were present: Australia, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam. The overall aim of the workshop was to raise awareness of and promote actions towards ensuring that fishing efforts are commensurate with the productive capacity of the fishery resource and their sustainable utilization ( FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries). At the global level, the call for States to reduce fishing capacity and combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is loud and clear. With a few exceptions, however, the responses at the national level have been much weaker, especially in Asian countries. Countries face the dilemma of either limiting access to fisheries resources, which runs the risk of cutting off an important source of livelihoods for poor communities, or keeping the commons open, in which case the resources will sooner or later be fished down (also impacting very negatively on poor communities in the longer-term). Most fisheries in the region, therefore, are still open access in nature, implying that capacity is not being managed and that illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing is still rampant. This report contains the workshop recommendations and conclusions as well as a "call for action" to pave the way forward on regional action and coordination. -
