This document contains the report of, and papers presented at, the Expert Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing which was held in Sydney, Australia, from May 15 to 19, 2000. The Consultation was organized by the Government of Australia in cooperation with FAO. Selected experts were invited to prepare papers as background documents to assist the work of the Consultation. These experts were also invited to prepare text for the preliminary draft of the international plan of action to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. The preliminary draft international plan of action elaborated by the experts is appended to the Report of the Consultation. This preliminary draft formed the basis for initial discussions at the Technical Consultation on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing which was held at FAO Headquarters, Rome, from October 2 to 6 2000.--Publisher's description.
The objectives of the Technical Consultation were to address substantive issues relating to the role of the port State in combating Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing and to address principles and guidelines for the establishment of regional memoranda on port States measures to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing. Following its deliberations, the Technical Consultation approved a Model Scheme on Port State Measures to Combat IUU Fishing, strongly supported the proposed Programme of Assistance to facilitate human development and institutional strengthening in developing countries to promote the full and effective implementation of port States measures to combat IUU fishing, and supported the establishment of a database concerning relevant port State measures.
The issue of illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in world fisheries is of serious and increasing concern. This document contains the report and papers presented a meeting of experts held in May 2000, which was organised by the Government of Australia in co-operation with the FAO. The preliminary draft international plan of action elaborated by the experts is appended to the report of the Consultation.
The Consultation worked towards concluding a draft international plan of action (IPOA) to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.
The Technical Consultation made major recommendations on how to strengthen international cooperation on managing fishing capacity and combating IUU fishing. It also asked FAO to undertake a series of actions to facilitate effective and full implementation of these two IPOAs. Noting in particular and ongoing build-up of capacity in tuna fisheries in the western and central Pacific Ocean, the Technical Consultation suggested that governments in the region should lend priority attention to addressing the situation, including halting introductions of additional large-scale fishing vessels.

Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing threatens the viability of high seas living resources. This book details the efforts of the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources Commission and the Australian government to adopt complementary measures to deter IUU fishing in the Southern Ocean. It describes how these various measures have proven effective in deterring IUU operators.
