Report of workshop on fishing vessel record and inventory Satun Province, Thailand

Abstract

The Workshop was informed on the need for this workshop in follow up to the recommendations made at the Expert Meeting on Fishing Vessel Registration held in 2008 on matters such as the possibility of information sharing in the region on records and/or registers of fishing vessels. The main objectives of the Workshop were to get clear feedback on the draft “Fishing Vessel Record and Inventory Forms” together with a schedule/indication on responses to be provided to SEAFDEC in order to build up a regional “vessel record and inventory” with the longer term aim to improve registration of fishing vessels and to improve the regional cooperation of information sharing in the ASEAN region.
