  • All large-scale purse seine vessels known to be fishing prior to 31 December 2012 are listed on the ISSF Record of Large‐Scale Purse Seine Vessels. If the vessel is not currently listed in the ISSF Record (i.e., built after 31 December 2012), vessel owner must provide evidence that a valid contractual obligation was in place for the construction of the vessel before the end of 2012 and that construction was completed before 30 June 2015.
  • Anti-Shark Finning Policy* (P)
