#IUUfishing is complex, involving much more than illegal fishing. Those engaging in IUU fishing are more likely to commit offences on labour abuse, vessel safety & engage in other crimes. In Cape Town, we are putting MCS officers in real life conditions to address such challenges

Proud to announce our commitment for #OurOcean, shared with the MCSCC "to implement a Regional Register of Fishing Vessels". This will include the requirement to meet minimum harmonized transparency standards — vessels not meeting these standards being denied access to the region

In Lüderitz port with #fisheries inspectors wearing body-worn cameras to inspect a 🇳🇦 fishing vessel – because national doesn't mean no risk. “The cameras make our job so much easier. From now on, they will be part of all operations – inspections, offloading, and foot patrols”.

In Lüderitz, we are putting #fisheries #MCS officers in real-life conditions during practical simulations. Estimating catch onboard a vessel🐟, collecting evidence, taking statements, these are indispensable tools for them to ensure fishing operators in Namibia play by the rules.

Today in Lüderitz, we are getting #fisheries inspectors & observers reflect on the importance of assessing risks of #fishing vessels. For them, “the seriousness with which you take risk assessments shows how committed you are to your work”. #Protecting_our_fisheries @MFMRNamibia

“The MCSCC makes you aware of what you have not seen. It makes you more confident in what you can do to address risks of #IUUfishing, and makes you want to do more, to be better at doing your job” – Malcolm Block, Chief Control Fisheries Inspector #SADCAtlantic @MFMRNamibia

Being a #fisheries inspector is a very exciting job – Walvis Bay's inspectors are showing how passionate they are about it. In action during a vessel inspection exercise, no detail could escape them – and SIF remains committed to help them get better and better. #SADCAtlantic

Cooperation on fighting #IUUfishing in the SADC region is moving forward. The next step: establishing a Regional Register of Fishing Vessels. The Register will facilitate the work of Namibia, being a basic requirement before fishing vessels are allowed to operate in the region.

"#IUUfishing is complex, but there are many risk indicators that can alert you". The SADC MCSCC is here to help the region identify these risks and dig further into them. #MCS officers in 🇳🇦 encouraged to fully use the potential provided by the MCSCC & its advanced MCS tools.

We are back in Walvis Bay for a second capacity-building training of MCS officers – building on the successes achieved since the beginning of #SADCAtlantic and making more Namibian officers aware of the power of the #MCSCC to support regional cooperation to combat #IUUfishing.
