Pays/Territoire Type du document Règlement Date 2006 Source FAO, FAOLEX Sujet Pêche Mot clé Pêche maritime Gestion et conservation des pêches Monitorage Collecte de données/déclarations Développement durable Poissons marins Volume admissible de captures Résumé 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 and the provisions of UNCLOS, requires Commission Members, Cooperating Non-Members, and participating Territories (CCMs) to limit the number of their fishing vessels fishing for striped marlin in the Convention Area south of 150 S, to the number in any one year between the period 2000 – 2004. This shall not prejudice the legitimate rights and obligations under international law of small island developing State and Territory CCMs, who may wish to pursue a responsible level of development of their own fisheries and the legitimate rights and obligations of coastal states who may wish to pursue a responsible level of development within their fisheries waters. CCMs shall cooperate to protect the long-term sustainability and economic viability of the fisheries for striped marlin in the Southwest Pacific, and in particular shall cooperate on research to reduce uncertainty with regard to the status of striped marlin stocks. Measures do not apply to those coastal states CCMs south of 15 degrees south in the Convention Area who have already taken, and continue to take, significant steps to address concerns over the status of striped marlin in the Southwestern Pacific region, through the establishment of a commercial moratorium on the landing of striped marlin caught within waters under their national jurisdiction.
