The IMCS Network was established in 2001 to promote and facilitate communication, cooperation, coordination, and capacity development across the fisheries MCS, compliance and enforcement community.

Global efforts to ensure long-term sustainable management of fisheries continue to face multiple complex challenges, including the ongoing threat of IUU fishing. The activities and types of non-compliance that constitute IUU fishing are continually evolving.

We are about our people – those that work at the forefront of fisheries MCS, compliance and enforcement and those that contribute to this work at the national, regional and international level.

The IMCS Network facilitates and delivers a range of initiatives that promote communication, cooperation coordination and capacity development of our community.
