ANNUAL REPORTS
Introduction
1.
The Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project (OFM Project) is
scheduled to conclude at the end of the third quarter (July September) of 2010 a
remaining 11 months. Activities that make up the monitoring and evaluation work plan
for the project have been completed as scheduled and these not only include regular
annual reports in the prescribed UNDP and GEF formats typically presented to sessions
of the Regional Steering Committee but additional `annual' reports, a mid term review
and reports to the annual Forum Fisheries Committee (FFC).
2.
The Annual Reports presently before the 5th Regional Steering Committee are
`UNDP/GEF Annual Performance Review/Performance Implementation Review
(APR/PIR) and the `GEF International Waters Annual Project Performance Results
Framework (PPR).
3.
The reporting periods for the UNDP APR/PIR and the GEF IW PPR are from 1
July 2008 30 June 2009. The substance of the reports is completed by the Project
Coordination Unit (PCU) from contributing reports throughout the reporting period from
the FFA and SPC Secretariats and IUCN. Project assessment sections of the report are
completed by the UNDP country office responsible for the project (UNDP Fiji) and the
UNDP Technical Advisor to the project based in Bangkok, Thailand.
4.
The 2008/2009 APR/PIR and the PPR are appended at Attachment A. To
remove the duplication of entry in processing the APR/PIR & PPR, UNDP have
developed a new MS Excel format of the reports which is still experiencing some
teething problems. Therefore, Attachment A is a combination of sections in the old
format and extracts from the new excel format. The reports are also available at
http://www.ffa.int/gefin their full new format.
The Annual Reporting Formats
5.
Based on the Logical Framework Approach (LFA), the UNDP/GEF APR/PIR &
the GEF IW Annual PPR reports contain the appropriate indicators with which to monitor
progress of outputs & activities and show how they are linked to the measurement of
project outcomes/results and impacts. These reports are intended to provide the relevant
information for the donors and countries to assess the progress of the OFMP.
6.
A simplified explanation of the distinction between the two reports is that the
UNDP/GEF combined APR/PIR relates to project implementation in terms of outputs
achieved and is based on the sub-component level outcomes and outputs as set out in the
Project Document1.
7.
On the other hand, the GEF IW annual PPR report uses a set of strategic level
indicators. The GEF indicators of Process, Stress Reduction and Environmental consider
outcomes and the indicators to allow a comparison between other IW projects and global
milestones such as those of the millennium development goals (MDGs) from the World
Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD).

Overview of the APR/PIR and GEF IW PPR Outcomes
8.
The following two paragraphs summarises some highlight of the progress towards
project outcomes for the two main technical components of the project detailed in the
attached report.
9.
A large number of the target levels for the science component outcome2 have
been meet with the establishment and functioning of the Western and Central Pacific
Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) science groups. The use of the science information
available by the region and Pacific SIDS (small island states) is an area where progress is
ongoing in such that the status of stocks measures are available but there has been not
explicit agreement by WCPFC for the types of reference points that are to be used in the
long term for management decisions3. A number of formal assessments for target species,
non-target species have been achieved in the framework of Ecological Risk Assessment
and have resulted in conservation and management measures (CMMs). The efforts to
build the capacity by Pacific SIDS to manage and analyse fisheries data are progressed
by successful workshops on stock assessment which were initially funded by the OFM
Project and on completion of the allocated funds have continued with the funds from
other sources. High levels of SIDS participation at WCPFC SC and other Commission
meetings is a target met due to secure funding arrangements at the Commission and the
special requirement interests of SIDS is addressed in standing agenda items at the SC.
Work in relation to seamounts have been progressed to target levels within the project
outcomes but remains an avenue of study that would benefit from further effort beyond
the life of the current project.
10.
Outcome progress for component two includes the significant target of the
establishment of the WCPFC and its rules and regulations being in place earlier on the
life of the project, although this technically is not complete in that subsidiary bodies are
still working towards agreed rules and procedures. The target to adopt and implement
compliance measures through the Commission is also well on track with a significant
number of compliance programmes now in place. Outcome project targets concerning
effective participation by SIDS in the work of the Commission on whole are positive
with reviews indicating that SIDS are collectively involved in issues of importance at the
Commission but that for some of the smaller of the SIDS the effort to sustain this level of
participation is considered a struggle. Implementation of Commission CMMs is a target
that challenges Pacific SIDS and the progress is reported as mixed. Some SIDS are fully
implementing WCPFC & national measures but others are only partially implementing.
Lastly, many Pacific SIDS continue to struggle to develop the necessary capacities for
the work emerging from the Commission and obligations of other fisheries instruments
and this remains an ongoing concern.
Executing Agencies Presentations on Project Activities
11.
The report of progress towards project implementation (pages 17 22 of
Attachment A) is in the old format and concentrates on output level and activities that
contribute to the project outputs and outcomes. Much of this information focuses on four
key outputs from each of the project sub-components in terms of contributing activities.
2 To improve the quality of the scientific information on transboundary fish stocks and ecosystems for
the Pacific warm pool large marine ecosystem.
3 From a technical standpoint MSYbased reference points (and other types of RP) have been
determined and routinely reported in all scientific assessments conducted by SPC for WCPFC. The
MSYbased reference points have been applied by the Scientific Committee in presenting scientific
advice to the Commission, and the Commission itself has also applied MSYbased reference points as
a default in its measures to date, particularly in relation to bigeye tuna.

Project Summary (as in PIMS and Project Document)
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) have special conditions and needs that were identified for international attention in
the Barbados Programme of Action for the Sustainable Development of Small Island Developing States and in the
World Summit for Sustainable Development's Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. Throughout these instruments,
the importance of coastal and marine resources and the coastal and marine environment to sustainable development of
SIDS is emphasised, with the Plan of Implementation specifically calling for support for the Western and Central Pacific
Fisheries Convention (the WCPF Convention).
The Global Environmental Facility (GEF) identifies sustainable management of regional fish stocks as one of the major
environmental issues SIDS have in common and as a target for activities under the SIDS component of OP 9, the Integrated
Land and Water Multiple Focal Area Operational Programme.
In addition, the GEF promotes the adoption of an ecosystem-based approach to addressing environmental problems in
Large Marine Ecosystems is through activities under the Large Marine Ecosystem Component of OP 8, the Waterbody-
Based Operational Program.
Consistent with this framework, GEF financing for the International Waters (IW) South Pacific Strategic Action Programme
(SAP) Project from 2000 supported the implementation of an IW Pacific Islands SAP, including a pilot phase of support for
the Oceanic Fisheries Management (OFM) Component, which underpinned successful efforts to conclude and bring into
force the WCPF Convention. Now, GEF assistance is sought for a new Pacific Islands OFM Project to support Pacific SIDS
efforts as they participate in the setting up and initial period of operation of the new Commission that is at the centre of the
WCPF Convention, and as they reform, realign, restructure and strengthen their national fisheries laws, policies, institutions
and programmes to take up the new opportunities which the WCPF Convention creates and discharge the new
responsibilities which the Convention requires.
The goals of the Project combine the interests of the global community in the conservation of a marine ecosystem covering
a huge area of the surface of the globe, with the interests of some of the world's smallest nations in the responsible and
sustainable management of resources that are crucial for their sustainable development.
The global environmental goal of the Project is to achieve global environmental benefits by enhanced conservation and
management of transboundary oceanic fishery resources in the Pacific Islands region and the protection of the biodiversity
of the Western Tropical Pacific Warm Pool Large Marine Ecosystem.
The broad development goal of the Project is to assist the Pacific Island States to improve the contribution to their
sustainable development from improved management of transboundary oceanic fishery resources and from the
conservation of oceanic marine biodiversity generally.
The IW Pacific Islands SAP identified the ultimate root cause underlying the concerns about, and threats to, International
Waters in the region as deficiencies in management and grouped the deficiencies into two linked subsets lack of
understanding and weaknesses in governance. In response, the Project will have two major technical components.
Component 1, the Scientific Assessment and Monitoring Enhancement Component, is aimed at providing improved scientific
information and knowledge on the oceanic transboundary fish stocks and related ecosystem aspects of the Western Tropical
Pacific Warm Pool Large Marine Ecosystem (WTP LME) and at strengthening the national capacities of Pacific SIDS in
these areas. This work will include a particular focus on the ecology of seamounts in relation to pelagic fisheries and the
fishing impacts upon them.
Component 2, the Law, Policy and Institutional Reform, Realignment and Strengthening Component, is aimed at assisting
Pacific Island States as they participate in the earliest stages of the work of the new WCPF Commission and at the same
time reform, realign and strengthen their national laws, policies, institutions and programmes relating to management of
transboundary oceanic fisheries and protection of marine biodiversity.
Component 3, the Coordination, Participation and Information Services Component, is aimed at effective project
management, complemented by mechanisms to increase participation and raise awareness of the conservation and
management of oceanic resources and the oceanic environment.
The design of the Project has involved a substantial consultative process, which has been warmly supported throughout the
region. Reflecting outcomes of this process, the Project seeks to apply a regional approach in a way that recognises
national needs; to strike a balance between technical and capacity-building outputs by twinning technical and capacity
building activities in every area; and to open participation in all project activities to governmental and non-governmental
stakeholders.
The structure for implementation and execution of the Project builds on a record of successful collaboration between the
United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), regional organisations and Pacific SIDS in past activities in oceanic
environmental management and conservation, strengthened by planned new partnerships with The World Conservation
Union (IUCN), a regional environmental non-governmental organisation (ENGO) and a regional industry non-governmental
organisation (INGO).

Attachment A
The Pacific Islands Oceanic Fisheries Management Project was developed to assist Pacific SIDs sustainably manage their oceanic resources, which include
the world's largest stocks of highly migratory tunas, and conserve ocean biodiversity. It spans a vast area, around 40 million sq km of the Central Western
Pacific, and the jurisdictions of 15 Pacific Island nations and territories. The major threats to oceanic fish stocks are unsustainable levels and patterns of
exploitation and weak scientific knowledge of the migratory stocks. Weak capacities of Pacific SIDS to fully participate and meet their obligations under the
WCPFC has also been a major barrier to action. These are transboundary concerns that apply especially to the impacts of unregulated fishing in the areas of
high seas in the region, but also apply more generally across all waters of the region.
The project is on track to achieve its first objective to improve understanding of the transboundary oceanic fish resources and related features of the Western
and Central Pacific Warm Pool Large Marine Ecosystem, through improved availability of fish stock status measures, including improved flow and quality of
fisheries data from beneficiary countries, which are progressively incorporated into stock assessments; completion of the successful first phase of the regional
`Pacific Tuna Tagging Programme'; new analyses of environmental impacts on yellowfin and bigeye recruitment; and comprehensive estimates of by-catch
levels and uncertainty. The Seamounts Study, has been lagging behind, but seamount and fisheries data are now being analyzed to detect any tuna and other
species catch rate increase in relation to seamount, and to determine the importance of tuna production around seamounts in comparison to the total Pacific
tuna production. Impact of the presence of seamounts on oceanic biodiversity is also being explored.
The project is also well on target to achieve its second objective to create new regional institutional arrangements and reform, realign and strengthen national
arrangements for conservation and management of transboundary oceanic fishery resources. As a result of the project, the capacities of all participating
Pacific SIDS to meet their obligations under the WCPF Convention have been substantially enhanced, and its Subsidiary bodies are fully operational. The
performance and outcomes of the Project were highly rated by the WCPF Commission according to the MTE. As at July 2009 Vanuatu is the only Pac SIDS
non-Party to 1995 UN FSA. Annual Review reports collectively that participation is effective and regarded as such by Pac SIDS.
Implementation of all project components are now highly satisfactory and outputs, such as capacity building and training as well as scientific reports have
been delivered in a timely manner. During the reporting period the project has also stepped up its efforts to disseminate its results and experiences more
widely in the Pacific region as well as to an international audience. In summary, the project is on track to achieve its objective of improved oceanic fisheries
management and ocean biodiversity and has successfully strengthened the capacities of Pacific SIDS to sustainably develop its oceanic resources. It has also
been successful in strengthening the regional body of scientific knowledge of highly migratory fish stocks and their associated biological diversity, including
the role of Seamounts, in an area of very high global significance in terms of global food production and marine biodiversity.

General Comments
It is not possible to undertake site visits to oceanic sites and it would in any case not be possible to discern any impact of the project. The MCO in Fiji is instead participating in
all Regional Steering Committee meetings of the project, even when held in countries outside its remit, which was the case in Oct 2008 when the RSC met in Samoa.

National Project Manager/Coordinator: S
HS - Highly Satisfactory 2008 saw the adoption of a significant conservation and management measure to address the serious scientific
concerns for the state of the regions stocks of yellowfin and bigeye tunas on the initiative of a group of Pac SIDS who
introduced conservation and management measures within their area of competence to regulate fishing in high seas
areas adjacent to their zones. They are imposing 100% observer coverage for periods of closure and banning the fishing
on FADs during the closure. The measures were described by Dr Joseph, ISSF Science Committee Chair as "the
broadest and most effective measures of any tuna fishery in the world." These advances and others in the responsible
management of the Pacific fisheries warrants the HS rating for this reporting period. Issues of implementation and
compliance remain

HS - Highly Satisfactory The capacities of most Pacific SIDS to meet their obligations under the WCPF Convention have been substantially
enhanced, and the performance and outcomes of the Project were highly rated by the WCPF Commission according to
the MTE. One project component, the IUCN Seamounts study, has been lagging behind the others for matters beyond
the project's control but was redesigned during the reporting period and seamount and fisheries data are now being
analyzed to detect any tuna and other species catch rate increase in relation to seamount, and to determine the
importance of tuna production around seamounts in comparison to the total Pacific tuna production. Impact of the
presence of seamounts on oceanic biodiversity is also being explored.The project has successfully strengthened the
capacities of Pacific SIDS to sustainably develop its oceanic resources. It has also been successful in strengthening the
regional body of scientific knowledge of highly migratory fish stocks and their associated biological diversity.

Key Outputs
Outcome 1: Scientific Assessment and Monitoring Enhancement:
a) Improved quality, compatibility & availability of scientific information & knowledge on the oceanic transboundary fish stocks & related ecosystem aspects of the WTP warm pool LME,
with a particular focus on the ecology of seamounts in relation to pelagic fisheries, & the fishing impacts upon them.
b) This information being used by the WCPFC & PacSIDS to assess measures for the conservation & management of transboundary oceanic fishery resources & protection of the
WTP LME.
c) National capacities in oceanic fishery monitoring & assessment strengthened, with PacSIDS meeting their national & WCPFC-related responsibilities in these areas.

Please summarize in 200 words the progress made this reporting period. This may be used for publication purposes.
The follwing is examplary of the progress made during this reporting period. 2008 saw the adoption of a significant conservation and management measure to address the
serious scientific concerns for the state of the regions stocks of yellowfin and bigeye tunas on the initiative of a group of Pac SIDS who introduced conservation and
management measures within their area of competence to regulate fishing in high seas areas adjacent to their zones. They are imposing 100% observer coverage for periods of
closure and banning the fishing on FADs during the closure. The measures were described by Dr Joseph, ISSF Science Committee Chair as "the broadest and most effective
measures of any tuna fishery in the world." See Attachment 3

Effective national inter-ministry coordination
MU
Information on this issue from the 15 Pacific SIDS not yet available to the Project
Existence of inter-ministry coordination mechanisms. Nos. of meetings/contacts of
inter-Ministry coordination. Data yet to be collected. Contacts at the national
between relevant national government institutions dealing with fisheries
management issues have been enhanced particularly on the WCPFC issues relating
to compliance of the Conservation and Management Measures
Analysis of inter-ministry cooperation still outstanding. Fisheries management
processes at national levels are progressively inclusive through processes such as
EAFM and Sub-regional WCPFC working group meetings.
An analysis of the participation at sub-regional WCPFC working group meetings
would reflect the participation of representatives from relevant ministries in the
efforts to ensure that legislation and policy allows Pac SIDS to met their international
fisheries obligations. Further the level or status for realignment of laws, regulations
and policy would serve as a indication of the inter-ministry coordination. A
comprehensive study of this has not yet occurred although data is available.
