Focus has been on
setting up the Commission
building capacity to engage
Developing CMMs
Focus now on implementation and
coordination of WCPFC measures/activities
and national priority issues.
Baseline
Would have maintained capable national
licensing authorities
PBBs operating as now
VMS
No coherent framework HS compliance
Some large fishing states provide info
others not
Vessels HS continue make illegal
incursions into national waters
Alternative Scenario
Institution building set up
Convention/Commission
Broadly implemented-no real changes
fishing patterns behaviour on water
In implementation phase Pacific SIDs
(others) apply comprehensive
ecosystem based set of measures in
high seas and national waters
RMCSS
RMCSS Strategic Objective: Enhanced influence
WCPFC measures high seas/convention area
FFA >50% WCPFC membership, >70% catch -Convention Area
FFA unparalleled opportunity shape fisheries management
arrangements/supporting MCS regimes HS areas adjacent to
EEZs.
Compliance CMMs require resourcing and support. Given
shared nature stocks region, fully functional/ effective WCPFC
that includes a high seas MCS regime complementary +
supportive of, in zone arrangements critical achieve regional
fisheries goals.
