ABSTRACT
This document contains the report of the FAO/APFIC Regional Workshop on Port State Measures to
Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing for the South Asian Subregion, which was held
in Bangkok, Thailand, from 10 to 13 February 2009. The objective of the Workshop was to develop
national capacity and promote bilateral, subregional and/or regional coordination so that countries
would be better placed to strengthen and harmonize port State measures and, as a result, implement
further the 2001 FAO International Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal,
Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, the 2005 FAO Model Scheme on Port State Measures to
Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing and the Chairperson's Draft Agreement on Port
State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing, if and
when it enters into force. The Workshop addressed: the background and framework for port State
measures; subregional and regional approaches to illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and the
implementation of port State measures; the Chairperson's Draft Agreement and the role of the Asia
Pacific Fishery Commission; national coordination and implementation of port State measures, and
perspectives on port State measures, including responses to the FAO questionnaire that was
circulated prior to the Workshop to collect information relating to port State measures in the South
Asian subregion. Working groups were formed to enhance the participatory nature of the Workshop
and as a means of engendering broader and deeper discussion on concepts and issues relating to port
State measures. In the first exercise, participants addressed multidisciplinary aspects of port State
measures, and in the second exercise, thematic issues were considered. The final session of the
Workshop entitled "Looking ahead: and agenda for the subregion on port State measures" sought to
identify key issues to be addressed by countries after the Workshop. Funding and support for the
Workshop were provided by the FAO Regular Programme and by the Governments of Norway,
Sweden and the United States of America. |
