Glossary of terms and definitions which should be used by Members when drafting proposals for Resolutions for the Commission

The Glossary was developed for the purpose of providing Members of the Commission with a list of agreed terms and definitions which should be used when drafting proposals for conservation and management measures (CMM) for the Commission. Nothing in this Glossary shall prejudice the rights and obligations of CPCs. In case of any inconsistency between this Glossary and existing Resolutions, IOTC Agreement, the latter shall legally prevail. CPCs are encouraged to take into consideration the consistency in use of terms, given the content of IOTC Agreement and existing Resolutions as well as this Glossary, when drafting proposal for CMM.
