Growing concerns over the state of the sturgeon stocks in the five Caspian Sea littoral States led them to request technical assistance from FAO in improving their management of the sturgeon fisheries. At a planning meeting in Rome, Italy, from 28 to 30 April, 2008 where all the five Caspian countries were represented, the country delegates identified a number of priority issues that needed to be addressed. All workshop participants at that meeting agreed that illegal, unreported and unr egulated (IUU) fishing and trade in sturgeon products are among the most serious threats to a sustainable exploitation of the sturgeon stocks of the Caspian Sea; and it was recommended that a technical Workshop on combating these activities be convened by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). FAO and CITES made a first attempt to organize such a workshop in April 2009. However, on that occasion most of the countries were unable to nominate appropriate candidates within the time frame provided to them. But FAO and CITES, being convinced that the Caspian countries are genuinely interested in addressing these issues, and considering the fact that the Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) project has been allowed to continue its activities for another six months, decided to make another effort to bring the countries together to examine the optio ns for concerted action dealing with these problems.
