MCS

Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) is the mechanism for implementation of agreed policies, plans or strategies for oceans and fisheries management. The absence of MCS operations would render a fisheries management scheme incomplete and ineffective.

I can offer services in the following aspects of MCS:

• On“Monitoring", advice and training in the collection, measurement and analysis of fishing activity including, but not limited to: catches, species composition, fishing effort, discards, area of operations, etc.
• On "Control", advice in the specification of the terms and conditions under which resources can be harvested, under the framework of national fisheries legislation and other transnational arrangements.
• On "Surveillance", advice and training in the checking and supervision of fishing activity to ensure that national legislation and terms, conditions of access, and management measures are observed.
