Member’s Key Obligations

Sources of member obligations include:a) WCPFC Convention;b) 43 Conservation and management measures in

force; c) Scientific Data to be provided to the Commission;

andd) Other decisions made by the Commission.

The Commission decides on the list of obligations are to be reviewed each year through the Compliance Monitoring Scheme.








WCPFC’s Compliance Monitoring Scheme

Purpose To ensure that CCMs implement and comply with obligations arising under the Convention and CMMs adopted by the Commission

Role1. Assess CCMs’ compliance with their obligations;2. Identify areas of technical assistance or capacity building for

CCMs to attain compliance;3. Identify aspects of CMMs to amend for effective

implementation;4. Respond to non-compliance through a range of remedial

options to promote compliance with CMMs and other Commission obligations; and

5. Monitor and resolve outstanding instances of non-compliance.








Indonesia’s Level of Compliance

2013 CMR for 2012 Activities

In 2013, Indonesia was assessed with a high score of non-compliance.

Summary Compared to early period of CMS

Implementation (2012-2014), Indonesia’s compliance with measures shows improvement in the final CMR reports for 2015 and 2016 calendar years.

Through the CMS process, several areas were identified and requested for assistance and capacity building for CCMs.

The areas in the next slide have been identified by Indonesia as assistance needs.


Year Relevant areas identified for assistance

2014 ROP; Transhipment; Operational data provision; Catch

and effort aggregated data

2015 ROP; VMS; Reporting of PS limit, bigeye catch, and

effort estimate for other fisheries

2016 ROP; Sea turtle interaction; reporting on shark fins;

reporting of shark release; FAD ban option; PS catch

limit; observer data; LL bigeye catch limit; monthly

bigeye catch report; fishing effort for other fisheries;

annual tuna catch estimates; operational data

2017 Provision of operational level catch and effort data

Indonesia – Capacity Assistance needed









Gaps and Challenges for Indonesia

1. Reporting gaps (EEZ purse seine limit)

a) 2016 compliance based on Para 23, CMM 2015-01:

Shall notify their EEZ purse seine effort limits, or equivalent catch limits, to the Commission

Indonesia is yet to notify a limit as per requirement

b) New requirements in Para 25, CMM 2017-01

Shall notify their EEZ purse seine effort limit and/or catch limit of skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye to the Commission

Deadline: by 31 December 2018


2. Reporting gaps (Longline bigeye monthly reporting)

a) Para 44, CMM 2015-01; Para 41, CMM 2017-01

Shall report monthly longline bigeye catch to the Secretariat by the end of the following month

No bigeye longline monthly reports submitted


3. Observer coverage (Para 35, CMM 2017-01)

Shall ensure that all purse seine vessels fishing solely within its national jurisdiction carry an observer, and provide the observer data

No confirmation of 100% observer coverage in the Indonesian EEZs within the Convention Area since 2012


4. Data gaps (Operational level catch and effort data)

Prior to the WPEA–OFM and WPEA–SM projects, the absence of a breakdown of annual catch estimates by gear type, the lack of operational logsheet and size data for the Indonesian domestic fisheries were amongst the most significant gaps in the provision of data to the WCPFC

These projects have assisted Indonesia make significant progress in resolving at least two of these data gaps: the regular submission of size data and the provision of annual catch estimates by gear and species.


4. Data gaps (Operational level catch and effort data)

In 2017, for the first time, logbook data for 2016 were submitted to the WCPFC

Further data quality control and some data gaps still remain

In 2017, Indonesia has submitted Capacity Development Plan, specifically proposing capacity building in catch estimation of sharks, shark identification, implementation of logbook for shark catch and observer data collection including discards of sharks.

Possible Impacts for Indonesia for Non-compliance

Increased uncertainty in stock assessments and so more conservative and precautionary catch limits will be imposed.

Restricted access to markets EU and US markets demand members cooperate with

their tuna RFMOs Hinders certification of tuna products

Negative sentiment within WCPFC/other members Tuna fisheries in Archipelagic Waters (FMAs 713, 714, 715) Sovereignty to manage AW tuna fisheries However Indonesia has full responsibility to establish

compatible measures with the Commission’s CMMs for managing tuna fisheries in its national waters








WPEA Project to Support Compliance

Over the last 10 years, WCPFC has been collaborating with Indonesia through the WPEA Project. There are many WPEA activities but the following three areas are highlighted for compliance:

1. Data collection, annual tuna catch estimation by species and by gear, and size composition;

2. Review of national fisheries laws and regulations in line with WCPFC requirements

3. Supporting the revision of Indonesia’s National Tuna Management Plan to line with WCPFC’s Tropical Tuna Measure (CMM 2017-01), reflecting reference points, harvest control rules, catch/effort limits, etc.

Tuna don’t recognize man-made boundaries - so stock assessment and managementmust be done on a regional, and sometimes ocean-wide, basis


Why do we collect data?

No Data → No Science → Poor Management → No sustainability

Resources and fisheries sustained;

Tunas available to next generation.

Sustainability

Management based on science;

Management with more certainty;

Stakeholders’ satisfaction; etc.

Address uncertainties;

Stock status;

Run harvest strategy frames;

Scientific advice; etc.

Science

Annual catch estimates;

Active vessel numbers;

Fish size; etc.

Data


WPEA data related activities

1. Support/Hire 29 enumerators at Bitung, Kendari, Sodohoa, Sorong, Majene, Gorontalo;

2. Convene Data Review Workshop in Bitung annually to audit port sampling;

3. Convene National Tuna Total Catch Estimates Workshop annually to meet WCPFC Member’s obligation;

4. Assist participation in SPC’s Tuna Data Workshop annually;

5. WCPFC Data Manager (SPC) assists the process

6. 2018 Annual Catch Estimates Workshop in Bogor, 21-23 June


Indonesia Annual Tuna Catch Estimates Workshop


1. WPEA-OFM project published a consultancy report on the Review of Policy and Legal Arrangements for WCPFC-related Matters and Checklist of Compliance Shortfalls (May 2011)

2. WPEA SM Project has a component to implement policy, institutional and management reform:

a) Expected Outcome – Enhanced compliance of existing legal instruments at national, regional and international levels

b) Indicator – Legal instruments fully compatible/compliance with WCPFC requirements, including compliance with CMMs, ROP, RFV and application of reference points, and harvest control rules.

c) Target – Tuna management strengthened through applying scientific procedure using Reference Points and Harvest Control Rules

d) Verification – Legislation reviewed/revised, achieving compatibility with WCPFC requirements

WPEA Project to Support Compliance2. Legal Review

Under the current WPEA-SM Project:DGCF conducts a review consultancy on Review of National Fisheries Legislation in Line with WCPFC Conservation and Management Measures

1) Kupang Review Workshop (11-15 September 2017)• Reviewed gaps between WCPFC CMMs and Indonesian

legislation• Analyzed 21 WCPFC CMMs up to 2015• Briefly reviewed Data Rules of Procedure, Convention

and Scientific Data to be provided to the Commission2) Next Review Workshop in June

• Will cover CMMs adopted by the Commission up to 2017

• Scheduled on 4-8 June in Bandung



WPEA-OFM produced a National Tuna Management Plan for the first time in Indonesia in November 2012

After several public consultations, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries adopted a formal NTMP at the 1st Bali Tuna Conference, 21 November 2014

WPEA-SM Project requests revision of the NTMP to include/refine policies, specifically related to the following four (4) elements:

1) Harvest strategy (RPs and HCRs), 2) Climate change issues, 3) Market-based sustainability, and 4) Ecosystem approach to fisheries management

WPEA Project to Support Compliance3. National Tuna Management Plan (NTMP)

Several consultancies and review workshops have been conducted to develop policies related to the four elements, which will be incorporated into NTMP:1) Harvest Strategy – hosted by DGCF & CFR, supported by

CSIRO, WCPFC-WPEA, MDPI, etc.

a) HS Stakeholders’ workshop – six workshops completed

b) HS Technical Workshop – four workshops completed

c) Currently, CFR is refining applicable data (CPUE and mean length) and CSIRO is finalizing operating model


2) Adaptive Management Guidelines on the Impacts of Climate Change on Tuna Fisheries – hosted by WPEA, supported by CFR (Target to finalize in June 2018)

3) Supply Chain Analysis and Certification System – hosted by WPEA, supported by DGCF & CFR (On-going activity: Supply chain of skipjack tuna caught by pole-and-line in FMA 714 and adjacent based at Sikka regency)

4) A Trial Application of Ecosystem Approach to Tuna Fisheries – hosted by WPEA, supported by CFR & DGCF (On-going activity)

5. Because of a small-size project, WPEA activities are not considered as a comprehensive, complete work. Rather, they are considered as initiatives for future work in Indonesia.


Indonesia has achieve remarkable progress in improving its compliance with WCPFC obligations.

Gaps and challenges remain.

Assistance is available through WCPFC support.

WPEA continues to support Indonesia enhance it capacity in sustainable tuna management.
