Abstract

This CMM aims to ensure that only vessels that are authorised by their flag States and reported to the SPRFMO can fish in the Convention Area. This is to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing activities and to promote the long-term conservation and sustainable use of the fishery resources in the Convention Area. The text specifies the data requirements, procedures and obligations for Members and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties to inform the Executive Secretary of the vessels flying their flag and authorised to fish in the Convention Area. It also provides the codes and standards for vessel data, flag codes, and vessel types and fishing methods. The text consists of 15 Articles and 2 Annexes.
