CCCFP Protocols on Marine Spatial Planning, Aquatic Foods Traceability, and Combating IUU Fishing

Set of three protocols approved by the Ministerial Council of the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism under the Caribbean Community Common Fisheries Policy. The protocols establish regional frameworks for marine spatial planning, aquatic foods traceability, and combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. They are intended to help Member States manage competing uses of ocean space, improve confidence and transparency across seafood value chains, protect fisheries from illegal activities, strengthen sector governance and sustainability, safeguard the livelihoods of legitimate fishers, improve market access, and contribute to food and nutrition security.
