Seychelles helps Somalia through IOTC compliance support mission

4 October 2014

Published in Seychelles Nation - 11-September-2014

The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) adopted a resolution, in 2012, whereby the regional fisheries regulating body decided to conduct compliance support missions in member countries in order to help them better implement its conservation and management measures.  

This came as a result of some member states having difficulty in complying with those requirements. The compliance support missions have resulted in the elaboration of an action plan, which is aimed at ensuring better conservation and management of the tuna stock in the region. 

The last of those missions was held in Seychelles this week at the SFA (Seychelles Fishing Authority) training room on Long Pier Road, in partnership with the SmartFish project of the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) and the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO). It has also permitted to discuss in details the conservation and management measures relevant to Seychelles, to identify specific difficulties faced locally in implementing the IOTC resolutions and to build the capacity of the SFA staff vis-à-vis Seychelles’ obligations as a member of the commission.

As the eldest member of the IOTC, Seychelles had found the occasion opportune to invite the youngest, Somalia, to benefit from the mission. Hosted by the SFA, four Somali delegates were consequently present for the workshop where they were joined by Seychellois technicians.
