The goals of the expert consultation were to advise FAO on the development and implementation of a global record of fishing vessels and to respond to the request from FAO's Committee on Fisheries to further develop the concept as described in the feasibility study. A comprehensive global record, a potential additional tool to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, is envisioned as a global database gathering data from many sources in one location.--Publisher's description

As expressed in various international fora, as well as in global and regional instruments, encounter protocols and impact assessments are crucial for protecting vulnerable marine ecosystems from the impacts of bottom fishing activities in areas beyond national jurisdiction. This workshop report covers experiences and lessons learned in the development and implementation of these types of protocols and assessments. It identifies challenges in their implementation, relating for example to capacity, costs and timing, and has developed a suite of key messages for both concepts that will inform further regional and global discussions on the use of these tools.
