Program
Organized crime, theft, because that is what illegal fishing is and pirate fishing have become commonplace in the global fisheries sector. MCS practitioners must continue to receive training to increase their understanding of the ever changing and increasingly complex tool to fight such crimes both at sea and on land.
Holding such an event in Africa will facilitate greater participation by many African countries but will also offer a clear focus on the needs of developing nations to elevate the fight against IUU fishing. Designed for MCS practitioners, the Workshop's agenda features a diverse range of topics to provide discussion-provoking presentations on cost effective MCS tools that all countries can benefit from, regardless of the extent of their IUU fishing activity or level of MCS capabilities.
Challenges within fisheries MCS are often similar, even if the regions and fisheries are different, within national waters or the high seas. These challenges may include issues involving artisanal vessels, domestic fleets and foreign flagged vessels. At the 3 rd GFETW, both traditional and innovative MCS methods and approaches will be presented to tackle these challenges.
Planned workshop topics include:
- Port State Measures - An operational perspective and review
- Certification, verification and traceability
- IUU fishing and artisanal and small-scale fisheries
- Regional Fisheries Management Organization compliance measures
- Using regional MCS as a cost effective solution to combat IUU Fishing
- Cost effective MCS measures/technology
- Training and capacity building
- International measures to combat IUU fishing
- Regional breakout sessions
