Proposed OFMPII
Project Structure
Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project II ­
Global Environment Facility (GEF)/United Nations Development
Programme (UNDP)
Project Design Workshop
7 May
FFA HQ Honiara, Solomon Islands
Title: Implementation of Regional & Global

Oceanic Fisheries Conventions in the Pacific

Islands.
Participation: 15 Pacific SIDS

Duration: 5 years
Budget: US$13.7m
Implementing Agency: UNDP
Executing Agencies: FFA, SPC (Other ­ WWF,


PITIA, IUCN? etc)
Objective:
to achieve global environmental benefits and strengthen the
contribution of oceanic fisheries to Pacific SIDS'

sustainable development

by enhanced collective conservation and management of
transboundary oceanic fishery resources in the Pacific

Islands region and the protection of the biodiversity of the
Western Tropical Pacific Warm Pool Large Marine

Ecosystem (WTPWPLME)

through the implementation of global and regional fishery
conservation and management instruments, particularly

the implementation of practical stress reduction

measures adopted by the Western & Central Pacific
Fisheries Commission.

Incremental Reasoning
· What difference will the Project make to Global
Environmental Benefits?

· Baseline Scenario ­ based on interFFA cooperation, with a
licensing and EEZ compliance focus, little cooperation with

others including Indonesia/Philippines, ad hoc limits, poor

resourcing for science, high seas remains unregulated

· The GEFsupported difference: implementation of the WCPF
Convention and other agreements to conserve target stocks

and mitigate adverse impacts of fishing in the globally

significant WTPWPLME; financially sustainable

Commission;
national laws & programmes strengthened; national and

regional capacities developed; high seas fishing regulated

· moving in Phase II to effective implementation of measures
that meet/set global standards
