From a statement issued by the MarViva Foundation:
Costa Rica will be receiving a visit from the international expert on illegal fishing and fishery enforcement, Alejandro Covarrubias, who will provide advice to prepare the National Fish Inspection Plan, promote actions and mechanisms to combat illegal fishing and strengthen capacities to implement the Agreement on Measures of the Port State Rector in the country.
In Latin America, Chile and Uruguay have ratified the Agreement on Measures of the Port State Rector to prevent, deter and eliminate illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, INDNR, adopted at the FAO Conference in 2009. Under this scenario Alejandro Covarrubias will describe the Chilean experience in controlling illegal fishing in ports.
