CFMC Travel Resources

All non-federal members of the Caribbean Fishery Management Council (Council), the Council’s Scientific and Statistical Committee, Advisory Panels, EBFM-TAP, OEAP, work groups, Ad Hoc committees, Staff, Special Consultants, and other individuals specifically invited to travel are eligible to receive reimbursement for permissible travel expenses when away from home or their work location. Individuals authorized to travel on behalf of the Council are expected to exercise the same care when incurring expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling for personal reasons. All travel must be authorized and approved in advance through a Travel Order (TO) before reimbursement can be issued.
