Abstract

This Conservation and Management Measure of the Western Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), concerned with ensuring that charter arrangements do not promote IUU fishing activities or undermine conservation and management measures, provides for measures to control arrangements for the charter of fishing vessels. The provisions of this measure shall apply to Commission Members and Participating Territories that charter, lease or enter into other mechanisms with vessels eligible under paragraph 4 flagged to another State or Fishing Entity for the purpose of conducting fishing operations in the Convention Area as an integral part of the domestic fleet of that chartering Member or Participating Territory. Only vessels listed on the WCPFC Record of Fishing Vessels or the WCPFC Interim Register of Non-CCM Carriers and Bunkers, and not on the WCPFC IUU vessel list, or IUU List of another RFMO, are eligible for charter.
