The area of competence of the Commission shall be all waters of the Indian Ocean (including those under the national jurisdiction of Member States), bounded by a line drawn as follows: from a point on the high water mark on the East African coast at latitude 10° 00 N, thence due east along this parallel to the longitude 65°00 E, thence due south along this meridian to the equator, thence due east along this parallel to the longitude 80° 00 E, thence due south along this meridian to a parallel 45° 00 S, thence due west along this parallel to the longitude 30° 00 E, thence due north along this meridian to the coast of the African Continent.
The main objective of the Regional Fishery Bodies is to ensure the sustainable exploitation of marine and freshwater resources by the establishment of a system of international regulation and by the development of marketing activities in conformity with the objectives of its members.

Regional Fishery Bodies (RFBs) are a mechanism through which States or organizations that are parties to an international fishery agreement or ("agreement" is fundamental, and different from arrangement) arrangement work together towards the conservation, management and/or development of fisheries. Some RFBs, especially those with an ecosystem mandate, work with seabirds, etc that are connected with fisheries but are not fish stocks per se.The mandates of RFBs vary. Some RFBs have an advisory mandate, and provide advice, decisions or coordinating mechanisms that are not binding on their members. Some RFBs have a management mandate, these are called Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs). They adopt fisheries conservation and management measures that are binding on their members.The functions of RFBs also vary. They can include the collection, analysis and dissemination of information and data, coordinating fisheries management through joint schemes and mechanisms, serving as a technical and policy forum, and taking decisions relating to the conservation, management, development and responsible use of the resources.The difference between a "regional fishery body" and a "regional fishery arrangement" is that the former has established a Secretariat that operates under a governing body of member States and the latter does not have.

The conformity to the above INSPIRE data specification has not been fully evaluated. In the absence of an explicit way to specify in ISO 19115 such absence of full evaluation, or eventual intermediate degree of conformity, and in order to fulfill the INSPIRE metadata validation, a conformity metadata element has been added (with the degree arbitrarily set to 'false')
false
No specific methodology for the data production. The data and metadata have been published with the FAO FI GEMS tool (GIS Enforcing Metadata and Semantics) available at https://github.com/openfigis/gems
