All vessels listed on the ProActive Vessel Register (PVR) agree to undergo regular auditing to verify that ISSF conservation measures and commitments are being met.
Level 1 audits are conducted by ISSF and assess the vessel attributes and other details that are required as part of the application.
Level 2 and 3 audits are conducted by MRAG Americas — an independent auditor — on a sample of PVR vessels to provide effective, transparent, and credible verification that ISSF measures and commitments are being met. Level 2 and 3 audits are conducted independent of ISSF.
There are different audit protocols — which include on-site visits — for Purse Seine; Longline; Pole & Line, Handline and Troll; and Support & Tender Vessels. Download the audit protocol PDFs below.
