RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Foreword –
from Andy Begley,
Chair WM ADASS
Director of Adult Services
and Housing,
Shropshire Council
West Midlands ADASS (WMADASS) and
Improvement and Efficiency West Midlands
(IEWM) have run a successful improvement
programme over the past decade. The
approach has been sustained by identifying
clear shared priorities, combining and
maximising the use of stretched resources and
continually refreshing the programme so that it
meets the requirements of adult social care as it
responds to the changing policy, financial and
improvement agendas of the sector.
We think it is time to refocus our approach and
this prospectus sets out some key concepts
that we want to work with our partners to
develop.
Transforming our
approach from a
deficit model to one
that highlights the
assets that we have
and contribution that
the sector makes to
the West Midlands
economy.”

self awareness and our

us focus on the Why, What,
When, How and How
Much. This plan helps to
keep our objectives
consistent and simple.

How?
Making sure we mitigate
our biggest risks and
challenges: - finance,
safeguarding, market
fragility, transforming care,
delayed transfers of care.
Whilst building a
programme that is
successful in focusing
on transformation,
collaboration with our
partners and promoting
what we do as a sector to
support the most
vulnerable in our
communities.
Jenny Wood
Delayed transfers of care
have been one of our
biggest risks. Through
our statement of intent,
we have reduced delays
by 19% across the region
during 2017/18.
