Descripción
The Thirteenth Session of the Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS) Steering Committee (FSC13) was held in London, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Hybrid meeting) on 26–27 and 30 June 2023. Driven by a survey on the use of FIRMS by partners and relevant institutions, the FSC13 deliberated strategic decisions for the next decade, including the timely data provision in support to the FAO SOFIA State of Stocks (SoS), the contribution to the design and reporting on fisheries management in context of the new FAO COFI sub-committee on fisheries, prioritizing the strengthening of small-scale fisheries data collection, and fostering interoperability among partners’ databases. Along those key decisions, FSC13 agreed for further work on the FIRMS Global Tuna Atlas (GTA), on the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) and on FIRMS standards and terminologies for which several definitions were reviewed and approved. A workplan was elaborated to address all decisions made by FSC13 covering also the upgrade of the FIRMS system and the support to capacity building to FIRMS Partners.
