This project will support the work of the IOTC Scientific and Compliance Committees by: 1) improving scientific advice for the management of priority tuna, tuna-like and bycatch species caught in IOTC fisheries; 2) improving data for the management of tuna, tuna-like and bycatch species caught in IOTC fisheries; and 3) improve compliance with IOTC conservation and management measures. These three goals will be achieved through a series of activities that will contribute to the better understanding of tuna, tuna-like and bycatch species and the IOTC fisheris that interact with them as well as improving levels of compliance with existing IOTC conservation and management measures.
To achieve IOTC’s primary objectives, it is important that managers have the best possible scientific advice on of the IOTC stocks and their associated ecosystems and Members comply with their obligations related to data and implementation of IOTC conservation and management measures. To this end, the Commission focuses considerable resources on science and compliance with its conservation and management measures. The results of this project will lead to improvements in the scientific advice provided to the Commission which can be used to inform future management of IOTC fisheries.
