Does every country and territory need a NTDC?


It is important that the main tasks of the NTDC are clearly identified and assigned to
someone in the Fisheries Department as a matter of priority. In most countries and
territories the NTDC will be a full-time position, but in others the NTDC can be seen
as a combination of tasks that have been assigned to one person, who may also
have other duties.
