Background to ACAP focus on RFMO activities Sample Clauses

Background to ACAP focus on RFMO activities. The adoption of best-practice seabird conservation in pelagic longline fisheries is a high priority for ACAP and provides the impetus for ACAP’s developing strategy for effective engagement and coordination with RFMOs. The Working Group was established by AC2 in 2006 and its Terms of Reference include: “Undertake actions that will assist in assessment, mitigation and reduction of negative interactions between fishing operations and albatrosses and petrels. Efforts to achieve this aim will include the provision of information and products to assist RFMOs and other relevant international and national bodies.” (AC2 Final Report). The first Work Programme of the group included an action item initially to focus review of information on mitigation measures for pelagic longline fishing methods known to impact albatrosses and petrels. The initial priority focus on pelagic longlining was premised on an awareness that up to 84% of breeding albatrosses are distributed in areas outside the CCAMLR northern boundary, and that pelagic longline fisheries for tuna and swordfish, those managed by the five tuna RFMOs, are some of the fisheries of most concern in relation to seabird bycatch in these areas (AC3 Inf 18). In 2007, the five tuna RFMOs (CCSBT, IATTC, ICCAT, IOTC and WCPFC) met in Kobe, Japan to address areas of joint concern requiring coordination and collaboration. The tuna RFMOs jointly committed to take urgent cooperative actions and identified key areas and challenges, including “the implementation of the precautionary approach and an ecosystem- based approach to fisheries management including improved data collection on incidental by-catch of non-target species and the establishment of measures to minimise the adverse effect of fishing for highly migratory fish species on ecologically-related species particularly sea turtles, seabirds, and sharks, taking into account the characteristics of each ecosystem and technologies used to minimise adverse effect” (Kobe I Report, Appendix 14 xxxx://xxx.xxxx-xxx.xxx/Documents/other/Kobe%20Report%20English-Appendices.pdf ) The 3rd Meeting of the joint tCommissions (Kobe III) met in the USA in 2011 and was preceded by a meeting of the Joint Technical Working Group (Kobe JTWG) which recommended that the Working Group meet electronically every three months and to meet in person whenever possible in conjunction with Kobe meetings or in the absence of a Kobe meeting, every three years. Over the next several years the Kobe JTWG...
