This Conservation and Management Measure of the Western Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), in accordance with the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, requires Commission Members, Cooperating Non-Members and participating Territories (CCMs) shall exercise restraint through limiting the number of their fishing vessels for swordfish in the Convention Area south of 20°S, to the number in any one year between the period 2000- 2005 (listed in Annex 1) and shall exercise restraint through limiting the amount of swordfish caught by fishing vessels flagged to them in the Convention Area south of 20°S to the amount caught in any one year during the period 2000 – 2006. CCMs shall not shift their fishing effort for swordfish to the area north of 20°S, as a result of this measure. CCMs shall nominate the maximum total catch of swordfish that it shall continue to be permitted to fish in the area south of 20°S, shall cooperate to protect the long-term sustainability and economic viability of the fisheries for swordfish in the Southwest Pacific, and in particular shall cooperate on research to reduce uncertainty with regard to the status of swordfish stocks, and report to the Commission as specified.
