Descripción
The document contains the report of the second Global Fisheries Enforcement Training Workshop (GFETW) which was held in Trøndheim, Norway from 7 to 11 August 2008. The first GFETW was convened in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in 2005, and by all accounts was highly successful in bringing together a global community of fisheries monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) professionals to share information and experiences and to receive training on a broad array of MCS topics. Due to the succe ss of that initial workshop, this second GFETW was arranged to further tackle the illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) problem, with the nearly 200 practitioners at the GFETW discussing pragmatic solutions for eliminating IUU fishing, using actual situations covering a broad array of topics. These topics included case studies from many nations, applications of sophisticated technologies and ingeniously simple low tech approaches, the role of transshipment, port State measures, leg al support, organized crime, corruption and more. Recognizing the many problems they share, the participants agreed to employ cooperative approaches and seek best practices in addressing IUU fishing activities. Their conclusions are embodied in the 2008 Trøndheim Declaration. A future workshop was announced for 2010 in Mozambique.
