This Resolution of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), imposes obligations on CPCs to introduce measures to protect sharks, and to reduce bycatch or discards of sharks. CPCs shall take the necessary measures to require that their fishermen fully utilise their entire catches of sharks, with the exception of species prohibited by the IOTC and shall prohibit the removal of shark fins on board vessels. CPCs shall prohibit the purchase, offer for sale and sale of shark fins which have been removed on-board, retained on-board, transhipped or landed, in contravention to this Resolution. CPCs shall have certain reporting requirements regarding fisheries involving sharks.
