Project funded by 

Project funded by The SciCOFish project provides a reliable and improved scientific basis for management and decision making in oceanic and coastal fisheries, giving P-ACP countries the means to develop efficient management measures, the skills to monitor their effectiveness, and some important tools to combat IUU fishing on the high seas.

The DevFish2 project overall objective is to increase the contribution from the sustainable use of highly migratory marine resources, particularly tuna, to the alleviation of poverty in Pacific states. It promotes the establishment of a more favourable policy environment for tuna industry development in Pacific countries, including the small scale component. It will provide direct assistance to small and medium enterprises in the sector as well as artisanal fishers and also build a region-wide IUU deterrence strategy, utilising the results of initial monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) studies in building robust and cost-effective regional capabilities to combat IUU fishing.

Component 2. IUU Fishing Deterrence

 

2.1 Implement the Regional Monitoring Control and Surveillance Strategy (RMCSS)

Analytical studies funded by Australia in the areas of risk assessment, compliance audit, information management, coordination and capability have been completed, as well as other initial studies undertaken under the SciFish project, and they have been integrated into the RMCSS. Plans are proceeding to implement the strategy, to include the creation of a regional MCS coordination centre, are being e developed and assessed.

2.2 Identify and Remedy Technical, Legal and Capacity Shortfalls.

When the strategy is implemented , technical, legal and capacity shortfalls will be identified and addressed. This may take the form of training programmes, legislative reviews, feasibility studies trialling new technologies, and/or planning for the acquisition of new enforcement assets.

2.3 Integrated Assessment of Enforcement and Fisheries Databases.

This task will integrate fisheries data with the FFA’s EOPS system for at-sea surveillance data. Analysis of integrated data will address IUU fishing issues, such as under-reporting, which otherwise often go undetected allowing for more accurate assessment of actual catches for stock assessment and feeding back to inform at-sea surveillance strategies.
