All sharks must be landed complete, with fins still attached
Demonstrate there is no shark finning taking place
Key Traceability i.pollard@keytraceability.com
- Effective observer coverage,
both in person or electronic
- A strong shark fining policy
for all crew to see is required
- Proof of no use of wire leaders

One of the largest issues with longline fisheries is lack of data MSC certified longline fleets typically have 40% observer coverage or more FIPs help to increase this observer coverage through:
- greater cooperation with RFMOs
- introduction of electronic monitoring
Increase your observer coverage

SLIDE 22
Electronic Observers
Key Traceability i.pollard@keytraceability.com
This involves camera onboard vessels recording fishing effort which is then analysed to see effort, catch, bycatch and other data
SLIDE 23
If you are currently using the preferred types, you might not need to do anything at all! We will analyse this and let you know of any changes that are needed Evidence that all vessels always use this type of hook, leaders etc.
Use circle hooks, nylon leaders and streamers
