The 2nd meeting of the Regional Working Group on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing, was held in Barbados in the period 19 - 21 September 2017. Thirty-five fisheries Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) officers, fisheries managers and other experts from 16 WECAFC members participated in this meeting. At the meeting, the MCS officers were updated on the International Plan of Action to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing (IPOAIUU), the Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels, and specific measures needed in the Caribbean region to effectively reduce IUU fishing. This technical meeting also discussed and agreed on various essential fisheries management measures, such as on fishing vessel marking and identification, the establishment of a regional fishing vessel record and regional IUU vessel lists. These measures will, once adopted by WECAFC allow the fisheries inspectors, coast guard, navy and port officials to easily identify fishing vessels and see if the vessels have the necessary authorizations to fish.
