VMS - Vessel Monitoring
Systems
http://www.fao.org/fi/vms.htm
VMS is a tool used in Monitoring,
Control and Surveillance (MCS)
of fishing vessels. VMS contributes
to fisheries management by recording
information on a vessel's position
and activity and enhancing other
MCS devices.
International Network for
Fisheries Monitoring, Control and
Surveillance (MCS Network)
http://www.imcsnet.org/
The International MCS Network is an
arrangement of national organizations/institutions
in charge of fisheries-related MCS
activities, which have been authorized
by their countries, to coordinate and
cooperate in order to prevent, deter
and eliminate illegal, Unreported and
Unregulated (IUU) fishing. |
