The Fisheries Expert Group (IUCN/CEM/FEG) was established in 2008 during the 2008 Barcelona Congress. Established to address the need for an ecosystem-focused expert group with marine fisheries competence within the Commission on Ecosystem Management, FEG consists of senior fisheries experts from around the world with substantial knowledge of the operational, socio-economic and ecosystem approach issues affecting fisheries.

Task forces are not open to all members, but by invitation only.
