These CMMs make it mandatory for Flag States and Coastal States to send to the IOTC Secretariat samples and templates of the following official documents: Official authorisation to fish outside National Jurisdictions (issued by Flag State), Official Fishing Logbooks (issued by flag State) and official coastal State Fishing License (issued by coastal State).

You can access the template and samples documents submitted by CPCs below. Please note that, for confidentiality reasons, some documents are accessible only to authorized users.
