Resumen
Descripción
Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing has been identified as a major constraint to sustainable and responsible fisheries. IUU fishing occurs all over the world and involves a wide range of activities within domestic and international waters. It has harmful consequences on fisheries sustainability, conservation of marine resources and biodiversity and on the economies of developing countries and their efforts to develop sustainable fisheries. Although difficult to quantify, IUU is bec oming more rampant with fishers involved using more and more sophisticated methods to conduct illegal fishing and avoid detention. The Global Fisheries Enforcement Training Workshop (GFETW) brought together operational-level monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) professionals for the global community who are dedicated to resolving IUU fishing issues. Hosted by the Government of Malaysia in cooperation with the MCS Network, the FAO FishCode Programme and the European Union, the Workshop pr ovided participants with training on a wide range of MCS topics and gave them the opportunity to share information and experiences, latest developments and new ways to improve fisheries enforcement. Among other subjects, the Workshop reviewed enforcement techniques and MCS operations through individual presentations, case studies and panel discussions. Participants discussed a wide range of tools available to assist countries in dealing more efficiently with IUU fishing, as well as methods of applying these tools through legal systems. Copies of individual PowerPoint presentations given by GFETW speakers and resource persons are provided on the CD-ROM attached to the inside back cover of the report. Also attached to the inside back cover is a copy of the FAO multi-media DVD (trilingual) on IUU fishing presented during the opening session of the workshop.
