| dc.description | Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing accounts for between USD 10 billion and USD 23 billion in fish annually. This means that one in five fish are taken from the world’s oceans using such fishing methods, posing a serious sustainability risk to the world’s oceans and to their ecosystem management. Despite the different initiatives, instruments and tools proposed by the international community to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing worldwide, a specific tool to identify and track all vessels in a unique and unambiguous manner was still missing. The Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels was expected to become one of the major tools in implementing the Port State Measures Agreement, as it provides the information needed by inspecting authorities for the verification and validation of vessel-related information, as well as for conducting initial risk analysis. | |
