Description
Ongoing concerns have been expressed by the international community regarding the risks that transshipment could facilitate the introduction of illegal, unreported or unregulated (IUU) fish or fish products into the seafood supply chain. Owing to such concerns, the Committee on Fisheries (COFI) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) requested that the subject be studied in-depth for the possible development of international guidelines on transshipment, based on best practice. The FAO fisheries operations and technology branch (NFIO, formerly FIAO) took up this request and formulated a study team to take the work forward.
