| dc.description | The evolving management role of regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs), as agreed in recent international fisheries instruments, is set out, together with agreed provisions relating to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Issues common to IUU fishing and management of fishing capacity are also reviewed, especially as contained in the International Plans of Action (IPOAs) relating to these areas. The status and implementation of the International Plan of Actio n to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (IPOA–IUU) in the Mediterranean is described with reference to: the contexts in which IUU fishing has been addressed by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM); the adoption of national plans of action (NPOAs) on IUU fishing by GFCM members; and the adoption by the European Union (EU) Fisheries Council of conclusions on IUU fishing. Many RFMOs have been active in implementing the IPOA– IUU, and their decisions, actions and measures are noted. Options for implementing the IPOA–IUU in the Mediterranean are reviewed, taking into account some features of existing fisheries management relating to IUU fishing. These include the diverse national legal frameworks, activities in the subregions covered by the CopeMed and AdriaMed projects and monitoring, control and surveillance capabilities. A possible process and considerations for implementation of the IPOA–IUU by GFCM ar e identified, and in conclusion the potential effects on fisheries management are noted. | |
