North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission

We will be holding an ICES-sponsored symposium in April 09 that will bring
together deepwater biologists, engineers, technicians, and policy makers to
identify information gaps and forge collaborative partnerships. I encourage you
to widely distribute the attached symposium flyer as we would welcome active
participation from the NEAFC community. Thank you

NEAFC and the OSPAR Commission have delivered a breakthrough initiative by announcing plans to promote mutual cooperation towards the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in the North-East Atlantic.

The 27th session of the Committee on Fisheries of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, FAO, took place between 5 - 9 March 2007 at FAO Headquarters in Rome. One of the agenda items was " Strengthening Regional Fishery Management Organizations (RFMOs) and their performances". This calls for all RFMOs to undertake performance reviews.
