Descripción
The paper has been designed as a handbook for fisheries administrators for use when establishing or enhancing, monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) systems in support of fisheries management initiatives. It updates the 1994 FAO Technical Paper No. 338, An introduction to monitoring, control and surveillance systems for capture fisheries through a review of recent international fisheries agreements and new MCS approaches involving participatory management; preventive and deterrent MCS strat egies; and the importance of safety-at-sea for fishers. The paper is divided into eight chapters to: provide an overview of MCS; review the legal basis for MCS activities; propose design considerations for MCS systems; review organizational considerations for MCS; discuss management measures and consultation and planning issues; review operational procedures and equipment; review patrol, boarding, inspections and prosecution procedures; and address emerging coastal MCS strategies. Annexes p rovide further details of operational issues and options for MCS system design and implementation.
