Abstract

This CMM establishes the SPRFMO Observer Programme, which is a system of collecting scientific information and data from fishing vessels operating in the Convention Area. The observer programme aims to improve the knowledge of fishery resources and marine ecosystems in the South Pacific Ocean, and to support the conservation and management measures adopted by the Commission. The text further specifies the data requirements, procedures and obligations for Members and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties (CNCPs) to authorise, register and notify their fishing vessels to the SPRFMO Executive Secretary, who maintains the Commission Record of Vessels. The text also provides the standard for vessel data, the flag codes and the format for submitting the information. This CMM contains 15 Articles and 2 Annexes.
