  • Palau & FSM Arrangements
    © naturepl.com / Doc White / WWF FUNDED BY THE GEF, AND COORDINATED THROUGH THE OFM SECRETARIAT, FFA NEWSLETTER FACTSHEET JULY 2011 Offshore Fisheries ENSURING THE SUSTAINABILITY OF PACIFIC TUNA Palau & FSM Arrangements Concerns about the expansion of the purse seine fishery led to the development of the Palau Arrangement in 1992 and the Federated States of Micronesia Arrangement for Regional Fisheries Access (FSM Arrangement) in 1994. These arrangements are administered by the Parties to the Nauru Agreement. “THE VESSEL DAY Palau Arrangement (PA) SCHEME GIVES THE PARTIES TO THE NAURU PARTIES TO THE NAURU AGREEMENT (PNA) AGREEMENT CONTROL AND SECURED FSM Arrangement (FSMA) RIGHTS TO THE FISHERY” – The Palau Arrangement DR. TRANSFORM In the late 1980s, concerns over the near over-exploitation of the western and central AQORAU Pacific yellowfin tuna stock led to the establishment of the Palau Arrangement. This raised the urgency for action to be taken to reduce tuna catches. The arrangement was later (PNA DIRECTOR) concluded in November, 1997 by the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) excluding Tuvalu, restricting the number of purse seine vessels that could be licensed by the Parties for fishing in their waters. Currently, the limit stands at 205 vessels. The arrangement underwent a review in the early 2000s after clear indications of its reduced efficacy. This led to the adoption of the Vessel Day Scheme in 2007 entailing the following recommendations: n To replace the existing limit on the number of vessels by a limit on the number of ‘purse seine days’ allocated as national Total Allowabl e Efforts (TAEs), where a ‘purse seine day’ is any day that a purse-seiner is at sea while present in an EEZ of a Party.

  • Pacific Tuna Fisheries: an Interview with Dr Transform Aqorau
    Published on March 1, 2016 Pacific tuna fisheries: an interview with Dr Transform Aqorau By Matthew Dornan and Transform Aqorau The eight Pacific island members of the Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA) control waters where over 50 percent of the world’s skipjack tuna is caught (skipjack is the most commonly canned species of tuna). For many of these countries, tuna is their most valuable economic resource. Their return from this resource has increased significantly in recent years as a result of the vessel day scheme. Link: https://devpolicy.org/pacific-tuna-fisheries-an-interview-with-dr-transform-aqorau-20160301/ Page 1 of 7 Date downloaded: July 9, 2021 Published on March 1, 2016 Matthew Dornan spoke over the phone with Dr Transform Aqorau, the CEO of the PNA Office based in Majuro, Marshall Islands, to discuss the vessel day scheme, the Pacific Islands Forum’s Fisheries Roadmap, and efforts by Pacific island countries to move up the value chain. Matt: Transform, could you begin by telling our readers, the majority of whom don’t work in the fisheries sector, about the Parties to the Nauru Agreement and the vessel day scheme? Transform: The Nauru Agreement is between eight Pacific island countries and dates back to 1982. It was effectively aimed at maximising returns for those countries from the skipjack tuna industry, which is the most economically significant tuna species. In the Pacific, the bulk of fishing is done by fleets that are owned and flagged to countries outside of the region – what are commonly called ‘distant water fishing nations’.

    Tuna Industry Development in the South Pacific : a Coordinated Approach Gerry Geen FFA Report 94/19 PACIFIC ISLANDS FORUM FISHERIES AGENCY P.O.BOX 629 HONIARA SOLOMON ISLANDS TELEPHONE (677) 21124 FAX (677) 23995 WEB http://www.ffa.int TUNA INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC: A COORDINATED APPROACH Gerry Geen Forum Fisheries Agency Introduction In 1993, the tuna catch in the waters within and adjacent to the fishing zones of member countries of the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA)1 is estimated to have amounted to nearly one million tonnes valued at around US$1,470 million. The catch from these rich fishing grounds constitutes about 40 per cent of the annual world catch of tunas. Three types of vessels operate in the fishery; purse seiners, longliners and pole and line vessels. More than three quarters of the total tuna catch from the region is taken by purse seiners, most of which are from Japan, USA, Taiwan, Korean and the Philippines. The focus of the purse seine fishery for yellowfin and skipjack tunas is in the mid latitudes, within 100 of the equator, both within national fishing zones and in adjacent high seas. Although the longline and pole and line fisheries are more broadly spread throughout the South Pacific region, there is also a concentration of fishing effort in equatorial waters. Again, the vast majority of the longline and pole and line vessels are owned and operated by foreigners. Although many Pacific island countries (PICs) charge foreign fishermen for the right to fish in their waters, these access fees are modest, at around 4-5% of the value of the catch.

Introduction The late Bjarne Kroepelien was a great collector of books and other printed material from the Polynesia, and specifically the Tahiti. Kroepelien stayed at Tahiti for about a year in 1918 and 1919. He was married there with a Tahitian woman. He was also adopted as a son of the chief in Papenoo, Teriieroo, and given his name. During his stay at Tahiti, the island was hit by the Spanish flu and about forty percent of the inhabitants lost their lives, among them his dear wife. Kroepelien organised the health services of the victims and the burials of the deceased, he was afterwards decorated with the French Order of Merit. He went back to Norway, but his heart was lost to Tahiti, but he chose never to return to his lost paradise, and he never remarried.
