The objective of NEAFC is to ensure the long-term conservation and optimum utilisation of the fishery resources in its Convention Area, providing sustainable economic, environmental and social benefits.
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.
