The objective of this Conservation and Management Measure (CMM) is, through the application of the precautionary approach and an ecosystem approach to fisheries management, to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of sharks. This CMM acknowledges certain species of sharks and rays, such as basking shark and great white shark, which are listed on Appendix II of CITES. This CMM lays down provisions on the implementation of FAO International Plan of Action for the Conservation and Management of sharks; full utilization of shark and prohibition of finning; minimizing bycatch and practicing safe release; species specific requirements; reporting requirements; research and development of strategies for the avoidance of unwanted shark captures, safe release guidelines, biology and ecology of sharks, identification of nursery grounds, gear selectivity, assessment methods and other priorities listed under the WCPFC Shark Research Plan; and capacity building of developing State Members and participating Territories for the implementation of the IPOA and collection of data on retained and discarded shark catches. The implementation and effectiveness of this CMM will be reviewed in 2024. Texto completo Inglés Página web cmm.wcpfc.int
