Review and highlight of the main priorities from the 15th Session of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission’s Compliance Committee.

What does this mean for Indonesia?

Gerard Domingue – Compliance Coordinator, IOTC Secretariat

15th Session of the IOTC Compliance Committee

• Location: Bangkok, Thailand

• 13 – 15 May 2018

• Attended by 79 delegates: • 22 Contracting Parties (Members)

• Indonesia represented by 7 delegates; inclusive of three industry representatives

• 2 Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties

• 6 Observers, including 3 Invited Experts

The main conclusions of CoC15• CoC15 NOTED a marginal improvement in the levels of compliance

by some CPCs in 2017

• CoC15 NOTED the lack of completeness of data/information sets:• Impact on the work of the Scientific Committee and its subsidiary bodies

(WPs)

• Ability of CoC to fully assess the level of compliance of Members and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties (CPCs) with their obligations (CMMs)

• The CoC is concerned about the persistent low level of compliance from many CPCs regarding the submission of size frequency data of one fish per metric ton

• The CoC is concerned about late submissions of mandatory reports and its impact on availability of meeting documents

The main conclusions of CoC15(cont’d)

• The CoC ENCOURAGED CPCs to continue to increase their efforts to comply with the requirements of Resolution 17/05 for data on sharks, as this is a measure with one of the lowest levels of compliance

• The CoC RECOMMENDED that the Secretariat provide a list of CPCs not meeting the reporting requirements for nominal catch per species and gears for future meetings.

• Resolution 16/06 – Provision of nominal catch

• Distribution of IOTC Circulars to concerned staff

• CoC recommended and Commission agreed for a further review of the Compliance Report for Indonesia – IOTC-2018-CoC15-08

• Resulted in a revised Compliance Report for Indonesia – IOTC-2018-CoC15-08 Rev1

What are the next steps?

• Develop a national plan of action for meeting Indonesia’s obligations to submit:• Nominal catch data

• Catch & effort data

• Size frequency data

• Attain the 5% observer coverage by gear type

• Timely submission of complete observer reports

• Push through legislation to ban finning of sharks

• Develop interagency collaboration where required, e.g. on market related measures

Thank you, for your attention!
