Welcome to Vessel Masters and their Agents new to NEAFC

In order to operate within the regulations fishing vessels must abide by both the Current Management Measures and the NEAFC Scheme of Control and Enforcement. The NEAFC Scheme describes the requirements for the reporting and monitoring of fishing activities within the NEAFC regulatory area. There are NEAFC provisions (rules) for use of ports of Contracting Parties which can be found in Chapter V of Scheme.

NEAFC Scheme of Control and Enforcement

Within the NEAFC regulatory area fishing vessels must abide by both the current management measures and the NEAFC Scheme of Control and Enforcement. Vessels which fail to do so can be considered to be participating in illegal, unregulated or unreported (IUU) fishing.

About the Work of NEAFC

The North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC) is the Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (RFMO) for the North East Atlantic, one of the most abundant fishing areas in the world.

It is comprised of Contracting Parties which have signed up to the Convention on Multilateral Cooperation in North East Atlantic Fisheries, which entered into force in November 1982. The area covered by the NEAFC Convention stretches from the southern tip of Greenland, east to the Barents Sea, and south to Portugal.

Most of the information on this website is aimed at scientists, control experts, statisticians and managers from the Contracting Parties and other international organisations.
