A Global Review for FAO of studies to estimate levels of IUU fishing
- 5th GFETW
Graeme Macfadyen, David Agnew, and Benoit Caillart
Context of our study
∗ International Action
Rome Workshop
2015
FAO future work
• Compliance Agreement
• IPOA-IUU • PSMA • Vol Guidelines
on Flag State perf and SSF
• Global Record • National and
regional action
• iMCS network
FAO’s role • Study of
studies • Technical
guidelines • New
global estimate
• SOFIA indicator
• COFI to guide
• Inputs to IUU risk framework?
• Technical guidelines?
• New global estimate?
• Indicators?
Agnew et al, 2009
• 11-19% of reported catch
• 10-26 mn tonnes
• $10-23 bn
1. Identify relevant studies 2. Analyze their
methodologies 3. Assess their strengths
and weaknesses 4. Consider their
comparability and potential for combining
5. Consider justification for a global estimate, technical guidelines, and future FAO work
Objectives of the Study of Studies
∗ Collection of published
studies ∗ Participation in this
meeting ∗ Fiche for summaries of all
studies reviewed ∗ Outputs for COFI in the
form of contributions to a working document, an information document, and a session background document
Approach to the Study
Some of our study questions
1. What are the different methods and their building blocks for different types of I, U, and U?
2. Do study objectives determine the methodologies used?
3. Strengths and weaknesses of different methods?
4. Consistency in methods? 5. Clarity over I, U and U? 6. Coverage?
Some questions for this meeting
1. Is a global estimate of IUU fishing important/useful?
2. To what extent can IUU risk assessment frameworks contribute to making estimates of IUU fishing?
3. What are appropriate indicators of IUU fishing and the mechanisms for data collection?
4. How can FAO support future uniformity of action on estimating IUU.
