At @FAOfish #COFI35 @PewEurope highlights the importance of the SOFI, welcomes incorporation of an ecosystem approach, shares concern about levels of overfishing and urges regional bodies to extend effective management to more stocks:

The @GlobalFishWatch team is pleased to be in Rome for @FAOfish #COFI35 this week. We'll be following discussions on supporting #SSF, combatting #IUU, protecting #biodiversity and ensuring #SafeSeas. Read our statement here: fao.org/fileadmin/user_uploa…

“There are three key things in my mind needed to tackle #IUU: Transparency, data sharing and collaboration” Assistant Secretary @MonicaMedinaDC 🇺🇸 clear on the role of public information on tooling up all actors - government, industry and enforcement authorities at #UNOC22

A major theme of #UNOC22’s discussions on Increasing scientific knowledge and developing research capacity and transfer of marine technology was the need to democratise data. Equitable access will be transformative.

Duncan Copeland of @tm_tracking “We need to work together to address these complex issues. We’re delighted to welcome @SkylightMarine into the Joint Analytical Cell.” As are the @GlobalFishWatch and the International MCS Network!

Minister Silk of #RMI 🇲🇭 says that the interests of regional fisheries bodies can often focus on very narrow issues such as DWF operations. “If we as Islands were in the driving seat, would working conditions improve? Would #SDGs be more readily achievable?” #UNOC2022

#Niue 🇳🇺 is highlighted as a leader “they have strengthened their ocean conservation and management plans for their ocean space, which is the size of Germany.” @GlobalFishWatch is delighted to also support @PremierNiue in these remarkable efforts: bit.ly/3OoKHOp #UNOC22

#CostaRica 🇨🇷 stresses that conservation decisions need community input 👏 - open data data and tools such as the @GlobalFishWatch marine manager can help info to be shared quickly and dynamically - vital for sustainable management decisions globalfishingwatch.org/marin… #UNOC2022
