MCS Practitioner Guides

The IMCS Network, in collaboration with TMT, has developed a series of MCS Practitioner Guides designed to strengthen operational understanding across major industrial fishing, support vessel and gear types. 

These guides provide practical, field-ready information to assist those working directly in MCS and compliance. They serve as valuable reference tools for operational staff, helping to build technical capacity and promote consistent approaches across jurisdictions. 

Beyond frontline practitioners, the guides also support trainers, analysts and partners across the broader fisheries MCS community and contributing to more effective, informed and coordinated compliance efforts worldwide.
