Second FAO-CITES Sub-Regional Training Workshop on CITES and Fisheries.
Implementing CITES through national fisheries legal frameworks
To support the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in the fisheries sector, LEGN and the CITES Secretariat have been organizing a series of virtual workshops to raise awareness of national authorities working on CITES and fisheries, with respect to CITES requirements and legal issues arising from the inclusion of commercially-exploited aquatic species in CITES Appendices. The workshops provide training on the use of the FAO-CITES Legal Study and Guide and seek to identify States’ needs and interests with regard to enhancing national fisheries legislation for a better implementation of CITES in the fisheries sector.
