This course for EU fisheries monitoring centres’ operators on vessel tracking systems is a training manuscript. It can be used by EU Member States competent authorities and the European Commission for the training of their staff. The objective of this course is to provide an overview of the wide variety of systems and tools used in a Fisheries Monitoring Centre (FMC) and to demonstrate how they are used to gather and manage operational data, information and possibly intelligence. The course will then show how this in turn is used to direct the control and enforcement assets in the most efficient and effective manner.
