The rise in illegal activities that has
accompanied globalization underscores the need for cooperative law
enforcement across national borders. Realizing this need a
commitment to form what would become the MCS Network was made at an
international conference sponsored by Chile in 2000.
The MCS Network was established to
improve the efficiency and effectiveness of fisheries-related MCS
activities through enhanced cooperation, coordination, information
collection and exchange among national governmental organizations and institutions
responsible for fisheries related monitoring, control and surveillance.
The
Technical
Terms of Reference outline the
MCS Network’s objectives, functions, organization, and requirements for
information exchange.
Participation in the MCS Network is
voluntary and encouraged. If you are interested in joining please
complete a Membership Application and you will
be contacted regarding
your membership eligibility. |
