TOOLS FOR MONITORING AND SURVEILLANCE
IN FISHERIES CONTROL SYSTEMS
Zaragoza (Spain), 25-29 April 2016
Please display on a notice board if possible
1. Objective of the course
Many of the world’s fisheries are in trouble. With global fish stocks
declining and excess fishing capacity in many fisheries coupled with
record high demands for fish, the need for effective monitoring and
surveillance is more critical than ever. Illegal fishing is a worldwide
problem which costs countries billions in lost revenue as it threatens
fish stocks and damages the livelihoods of many who try to abide by the
rules.
Monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) are essential components
of a successful fisheries management regime but many countries
struggle to integrate effectively the MCS tools which are available. This
course is designed for professionals who are already familiar with MCS
or enforcement in the fisheries sector. While the focus will be the
Mediterranean region, examples and experts will be drawn from across
the world to demonstrate the diversity of the most useful practices.
The objective of the course is to expose participants to information
about the most recent developments in the field of fisheries MCS
including the role played by the most advanced technologies, as well as
a framework for understanding and evaluating the appropriateness of
these tools in an operational context.
By the end of the course the participants will:
– Be aware of the role of fisheries monitoring and surveillance in a
fisheries management system.
– Understand the capabilities, costs and limitations of all possible
inspection and surveillance methods.
– Understand the capabilities, costs and limitations of new
technologies for fisheries surveillance and data gathering.
– Appreciate the importance of data integration and analysis in
fisheries monitoring.
– Be aware of procedures and regulations in place to combat illegal,
unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU) worldwide.
– Understand the benefits of international cooperation in MCS.
– Gain experience of real-life monitoring situations through practical
case studies and discussions with recognised experts.
– Be able to define and analyse risk to target MCS effort and measure
success.
the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza (IAMZ), and the
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO),
through its Fisheries and Aquaculture Department, and will take place
at the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza. The course will
be given by well qualified lecturers from international organizations
and from administration services in different countries.
The course will be held over a period of one week, from 25 to 29 April
2016, in morning and afternoon sessions.
3. Admission
The course is designed for a maximum of 25 professionals with a
university degree, and is addressed to fisheries managers, competent
authorities in fisheries control and monitoring, technical advisors and
other specialists involved in the topic.
Given the diverse nationalities of the lecturers, knowledge of English,
French or Spanish will be valued in the selection of candidates, since
they will be the working languages of the course. IAMZ will provide
simultaneous interpretation of the lectures in these three languages.

5. Scholarships
Candidates from CIHEAM member countries (Albania, Algeria, Egypt,
France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain,
Tunisia and Turkey) and other FAO Mediterranean member countries
may apply for scholarships covering registration fees, and for
scholarships covering the cost of travel and full board accommodation
in the Hall of Residence on the Aula Dei Campus. Applications from
other FAO member countries may exceptionally be considered.
Candidates from other countries who require financial support should
apply directly to other national or international institutions.
6. Insurance
It is compulsory for participants to have medical insurance valid for
Spain. Proof of insurance cover must be given at the beginning of the
course. Those who so wish may participate in a collective insurance
policy taken out by the Organization, upon payment of the stipulated
sum.
7. Teaching organization
The course requires personal work and interaction among participants
and with lecturers. The international characteristics of the course favour
the exchange of experiences and points of view.
Formal lectures are supplemented by illustrated examples, case studies
and computer demonstrations. During the course, participants will
work in groups on practical exercises with the objective of designing
an appropriate mix of tools for monitoring in different circumstances.
These exercises will enable them to put theory into practice.
