Synopsis (short abstract) The Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS) is a partnership of regional and international organizations, which provides access to a wide range of high-quality information on the global status and trend on fisheries and resources. The eleventh Session of the FIRMS Steering Committee (FSC11) convened in Rome, Italy, 13–14 and 18 May 2019. Fourteen partners participated in the Session (eleven members and three associated members), including two new partners: the Fishery Committee for the West Central Gulf of Guinea (FCWC) and the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Organizations (SPRFMO).

    The tenth session of the Fisheries and Resources Monitoring System (FIRMS) Steering Committee (FSC10) offered the opportunity to discuss several matters among eleven partners - seven members and four associate members that were represented - Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources [CCAMLR], Food and Agricultural organization of the United Nations [FAO], General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean [GFCM]; Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission [IATTC]; Interna tional Council for the Exploration of the Sea [ICES]; Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization [NAFO], South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation [SEAFO]; Fishery Committee for the Eastern Central Atlantic [CECAF], Southwest Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission [SWIOFC], Regional Commission for Fisheries [RECOFI], and Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission [WECAFC]. The Committee established that the efforts carried out on timeliness of stock status reports were fruitful with a major part of the database being up-to-date, and agreed that the effort should now shift to expanding the coverage by gaining new Partner RFBs, an objective which will be facilitated by an amendment to the Partnership Arrangement. A major outcome of FSC10 is the decision that FIRMS should take ownership of the Global Record of Stocks and Fisheries currently developed under the BlueBRIDGE project and will make use of this enhanced tooling capacity to offer data services for the monitoring of national stocks mo nitored by countries under SDG14.4.1 ‘Proportion of fish stocks within biologically sustainable levels’
