There are 4 key outputs intended to be achieved under the subcomponent 1.1 (Fishery
Monitoring Coordination and Enhancement)
The first of these is output 1.1.1, a template…[read slide]
In the past year 4 new updates have been developed and instigated for the TUFMAN
data management system, which will lead to improved and enhanced standard of
reporting. These updates include EEZ breakdowns, best estimates for catches,
and telex report summaries. The TUFMAN system is continually being improved
and updated, with a comprehensive review of data entry forms currently underway
to ensure proper robustness, data validation, formatting, reports and data
entry. In addition to these a new observer data module is being developed as well
as a video training manual for using the TUFMAN system. Future work will include
development of data registry and vessel modules.
The second key output under subcomponent 1.1 is the National

This table shows activities completed since the start of 2005. Good
progress is being made in this respect with most of the gaps apparent in the
table to be filled in the next 12-18 months. Specifically, excellent progress
has been made with respect to the installation and updating of TUFMAN and CES
across nearly all countries, as well as in-country visits and attachments to
facilitate training in use of these systems. Technical equipment (computers
etc) have been provided in instances where a need to do so (and allow use of
TUFMAN system) has been identified, and financial support towards database
management positions (and more recently data entry positions) in country has
been provided to countries where there was a significant need for that.
Future work under this output includes the completion of National Tuna Data
Procedures Documents and in-country data audits.
