ISSF position statements raise issues and recommendations for Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to consider in their policymaking discussions and decisions.

Our advocacy team prepares and circulates our statements in advance of major tuna RFMO meetings. Some statements are available in several languages, depending on RFMO region. If you would like to request an older version of a statement, write to us at [email protected].

Description

Note: The information in this snapshot is current for 2023. The RFMOs have not made changes to observer program requirements since the report was published in 2022.

This “snapshot” identifies best practices in vessel monitoring systems, and then shows each RFMO’s progress in implementing those practices. The snapshot was updated in March 2022.
