Resumen

This Conservation and Management Measure of the Western Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), requires Commission Members, Cooperating non-Members and participating Territories (CCMs) to prohibit their flagged vessels from setting a purse seine net on a school of tuna associated with a cetacean in the high seas and exclusive economic zones of the Convention Area, if the animal is sighted prior to commencement of the set. CCMs shall require that, in the event that a cetacean is unintentionally encircled in the purse seine net, the master of the vessel shall ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to ensure its safe release and take other measures to protect the cetacean. In taking steps to ensure the safe release of the cetacean CCMs shall require the master of the vessel to follow any guidelines adopted by the Commission for the purpose of this measure. Certain monitoring and reporting obligations are imposed on CCMs.
