Combatting Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing through the Global Record Programme - GCP/GLO/595/MUL
Addressing illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing is crucial as it undermines efforts at national, regional and global levels for effective fisheries management to achieve sustainable fisheries. Over the years, an international framework has been developed to strengthen fisheries management since the adoption of United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in 1982. This framework is comprised of both binding agreements and voluntary instruments, and a number of provisions and requirements to specifically address IUU fishing. Within this framework, States, along with Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs), need to collaborate to fulfil their international commitments, for which the availability and exchange of information is key. The Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels (Global Record) Programmewas developed to promote data and information exchange standards and mechanisms in fisheries through an Information System, which was developed and launched under this project.
