19.0.2 Description
42 RFMOs are included in one table. See below for a complete list. All RFMOS stem from the FAO geonetwork. Some RFMO shapefiles go to land, and there is a possibility of coastline issues. However, not quite sure there is an easy solution for RFMOs (since it is region-specific) so currently (Summer 2022) have not conducted any adjustments.
There are several RFMOs where we do not use the shapefile published in geonetwork. These are
See the linked pages for more on these. For the rest, see below.
