* National Tuna Fisheries Status Reports
(NTFSRs) provide comprehensive,
regular assessments of status and prospects of oceanic fisheries for PICT
fishery departments
* They include summaries of historical and recent trends in fisheries, interpretation of stock
assessments in the context of national fisheries, and other analyses tailored
to the specific needs identified by each PICT.
* NTFSRs are now being restructured to feed required
advice directly into the FFA EAFM process and will only be undertaken for
countries implementing or updating their EAFM
In country stakeholder workshops have been attended
in FSM (two), Nauru, Palau, Niue, Samoa, Kiribati (two), to facilitate
the development and delivery of the NTFSRs and support the implementation of
an EAFM.
