CRITERIA FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF FISHERIES THAT WOULD BENEFIT FROM CATCH CERTIFICATION AND CATCH DOCUMENTATION SCHEMES


46. While in principle the catch certificate and trade document schemes described in this report could be helpful for any fishery managed by an RFMO, the Consultation agreed that priority for development of new schemes should be given to fisheries that are or may be subject to significant levels of IUU fishing. Priority should also be given to fisheries that harvest the same species as others covered by catch certificate or trade document schemes to support the existing schemes of another RFMO.
