5. RECOMMENDATIONS
l5.1. Corrective actions for the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project
l5.1.1. Design: The revised design for the IUCN Seamount sub-component Output 1.3.2. should be closely coordinated, integrated with the wider OFM Project objectivities, and be collaborative with other regional research. IUCN Seamount activities should be coordinated by the Principal Investigator, IUCN Oceania Office in Fiji. Activities and outputs should be related to other aspects of the OFM Project such as management options, law reform, compliance, information strategy etc. Where possible, there should be collaboration with other seamount research and management initiatives in the region (e.g. by French research vessel Alise; Japan Fisheries University /USP seamounts research on Koyo Maru).
