The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) has announced that MRAG Americas Inc. will serve as independent auditor of the ProActive Vessel Register (PVR).
MRAG will monitor vessels on the PVR for compliance by performing on-site reviews and audits, as well as conducting regular reviews of public documents and databases. This validation process also includes real-time data submitted via iPads and other mobile applications. Auditors will receive notification when vessels keep a specific commitment, such as when a skipper completes training or submits data to the scientific bodies of a Regional Fisheries Management Organization.
