Résumé

This Resolution of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), requires each Member and cooperating non-Member (CPCs) to ensure that at least 5% of the fishing effort made by its longline fishing vessels greater than 20 meters length overall carries a scientific observer. Each CPC shall endeavor to ensure that observer coverage will be representative of the activities of its fleet. The main task of the scientific observers and/or EMS shall be to record, consistent with data standards established by the SAC, any available biological information, the catches of targeted fish species, species composition, and any available biological information, as well as any interactions with non-target species such as sea turtles, seabirds and sharks. The reporting requirements established by the SAC pursuant to resolution C-11-08 can be found in Annex A. The SAC may decide to modify these reporting requirements or establish new ones whenever deemed necessary and shall notify the Commission as appropriate for endorsement at the subsequent annual meeting of the IATTC. Annexes list the annual summary report on fleet information and observer data for these vessels operating in the EPO.
