Résumé

This Resolution of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) invites Contracting Parties, cooperating non-Parties, fishing entities and regional economic integration organizations (“CPCs”) to collect, and provide to the IATTC, all available information on fishery interactions with sea turtles in the eastern Pacific Ocean (EPO), including both incidental and direct catches and other impacts on sea turtle populations. The Commission should review the effectiveness of the mitigation measures and their impact on catches of both sea turtles and target species. Interested CPCs, in cooperation with the IATTC, should assign a high priority to conducting research on the interaction between small-scale artisanal fisheries and bycatch of sea turtles in coastal areas.
