Descripción
The Fourteenth Session of the FIRMS Steering Committee (FSC14) focused on strategic enhancements to global fisheries status reporting, and welcoming the Bay of Bengal Programme (BOBP-IGO) as a new Partner to expand its regional coverage. A primary outcome was the review of the updated FAO State of Stocks Index (SoSI), which features a new methodology based on B/Bmsy indicators. Partners committed to biennial data calls and timely reporting for future SoSI editions. Significant progress was reported across core FIRMS products: the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries (GRSF) advanced its database and implemented UUIDs for SoSI support, while the Global Tuna Atlas (GTA) achieved harmonization with major tRFMOs, leading to a new annual data call. FSC14 also prioritized consistency by adopting new terminologies and encouraging partners to map their indicators to the SoSI thresholds (Overfished, Maximally Fished, Underfished). Looking forward, the Committee established a dedicated Working Group to develop guidelines for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within FIRMS.
