Resumen

This Document contains a statement of the Forum Fisheries Committee of the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency, which on behalf of the 17 members of the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency, advises that the FFA has adopted the measures as regards the observer coverage on all purse seine vessels as contained in WCPFC's CMM 2018-01 and CMM 2018-05CMM 2018-01 and CMM 2018-05. The main measure is the temporary suspension of the requirement of observer coverage on purse seine vessels within our waters, until 31 May 2020, unless otherwise advised. This will apply to new trips after a vessel operator has met any requirement for repatriation of observers currently on board a vessel. Repatriation is to be expedited by the vessel operator and the relevant flag State, in close consultation with the relevant national Observer Provider. When vessels are not carrying observers, they shall comply with the following additional conditions: a) A vessel that is not able to report Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) data electronically and automatically, shall immediately return to port; b) Any additional management measures that may be advised from time to time. Steps are to be taken to expedite the implementation of this decision through our respective national, subregional and regional regulatory frameworks.
