RECOMMENDATIONS: 5.1. Corrective actions
for the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the project
5.1.1. 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.
The various IUCN Seamount activities should be
coordinated by the Principal Investigator
who is to be recruited by IUCN Oceania Office in Fiji.
The activities and outputs of the IUCN Seamount research
should be related to other aspects
of the OFM Project such as management options, law reform, compliance, information strategy etc.
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).
