Moves to monitor fishing in Gulf of Guinea
May 6, 2021 Mr Seraphin Dedi
The Fisheries Committee for the West Central Gulf of Guinea (FCWC), an inter-governmental organisation, which focuses on the fisheries sector, has set up a Regional Monitoring, Control and Surveillance Center (RMCSC).
This is to enable the country to effectively monitor fishing and its related activities in the Gulf of Guinea.
Scheduled to be launched on May 12, 2021, the centre among other things, would co-ordinate regional and joint operations at sea, and patrols to identify vessels operating without authorisation as well as build capacities of stakeholders in the fisheries sector.
