INTRODUCTION
The SciCOFish project, « Scientific support, for the management of coastal and oceanic fisheries in the
Pacific Islands region », implemented through the Contribution Agreement between the Secretariat of the
Pacific Community and European Union, is planned for execution from the 17th of April 2010 to the 3
rd of
March 2014, with a budget of 8,655,765 Euros.
Its overall objective, the conservation and sustainable use of coastal and oceanic fisheries resources in the P-
ACP region, addresses a key aspect of the Regional Indicative Programme, namely, the development of cost-
effective solutions for the sustainable management of marine and land-based resources.
The project purpose is to provide a reliable and improved scientific basis for management and decision
making in oceanic and coastal fisheries. The project will provide the P-ACP countries with the means to
develop efficient management measures, the skills to monitor their effectiveness, and some important tools to
combat IUU fishing. A ‘demand-driven’ approach to implementation will ensure that assistance is provided to
those countries which are most likely to take up management advice.
For oceanic fisheries, progress towards the overall objective of the conservation and sustainable use of
resources during 2012 included:
• Agreement on a new management measure for tropical tunas in the WCPFC which is intended to
reduce purse seine fishing on FADs and cap tuna longline fishing effort;
• Agreement by the PNA to enforce limits on the number of fishing days by purse seine vessels more
rigorously;
• The certification by the Marine Stewardship Council of a large part of the purse seine fishery for
Skipjack tuna and the Fiji longline fishery for Albacore as ‘sustainable fisheries’;
• The discards of small tuna by purse seine vessels fell to 1.3% of total catch, nearly reaching the 1%
target set in the project documents;
• Agreement between PACP states and distant water fishing nations to move towards a system of
reference points and harvest control rules to improve future management of the fisheries.
Progress towards achieving the project purpose (a reliable and improved scientific basis for management and
decision making) in 2012 included the following in oceanic fisheries:
• Tuna statistical and data systems continued to perform well, with all except one P-ACP country
submitting operational catch and effort data to the WCPFC by the due date in 2012 (the exception,
Solomon Islands, still provided data but two months late). Most distant water fishing nations continue
to fail to provide this data.
• A tuna stock assessment for Albacore was accepted by the WCPFC, and the peer review of the 2011
Bigeye tuna assessment was completed. The latter, while making a number of recommendations for
improvement, concluded that the assessment ‘is based on state of the art methods and is analytically
very thorough’. Note that while performance of the stock assessments is not part of the SciCOFish
project (the work is funded by the WCPFC) they represent the final outcome of much of the research
and analysis supported by the project and their quality is thus a good measure of project success.

For coastal fisheries, good progress was made towards the overall project objective in regard to monitoring
and sustainable management of sea cucumber fisheries, and a change in focus on survey methodologies and
biological data sampling for finfish has allowed good progress to be made in this area. Capacity building in
Samoa, Fiji, Palau, Pohnpei (FSM) and Cook Islands on sea cucumber monitoring methodologies during the
reporting period has provided local counterparts with the skills and experience to undertake the monitoring of
sea cucumber resources themselves, with this work undertaken in different parts of their respective country
and is still ongoing. Early in 2012 a market and creel survey manual was drafted, with trials undertaken in
Tonga, Nauru, Pohnpei (FSM) and Fiji during the rest of the year. Capacity was developed at each location
with 5–10 local staff training in the survey methodologies during the initial survey, with the trained people
now having the skills to continue the surveys in other locations around their respective countries.
Good progress has also been made against the project purpose in three main areas. Firstly, for sea cucumber
fisheries, the results from Solomon Islands and Vanuatu surveys in late 2011 has lead to the 2012 decision to
continuation of the moratoria in these two countries for another three years. Initial results and advice from the
capacity development and preliminary surveys in the countries indicate: Fiji should close their fishery and ban
the use of underwater breathing apparatus; Pohnpei should keep the fishery closed until a full assessment is
completed and an management plan developed; Cook Islands, Palau and Samoa, all have some species that
would allows a small harvest to be undertaken under strict management control. These results will be further
refined in 2013 when attachments from these countries come to Noumea and analyse the additional data they
have collected in 2012. Secondly for finfish fisheries the introduction of creel surveys will allow fisheries
dependent data to be collected at the point of landing through fisher interviews and sampling of the catch. In
addition, some biological sampling on the fish species themselves will add to the scientific knowledge on
which to base sound management. As this is a new activity, it will be 2013 when attachments will be brought
in from these countries to do the initial analysis of the data for management purposes. Finally, the installation
of mini servers in eight countries during 2012 has allowed fisheries departments to establish databases for all
data collected in a central location that can be backed up to avoid data loss in the future.
This report summarizes the activities during the project’s third year (January-December 2012). It has been
prepared with the collaboration of Section heads from the SPC Fisheries, Aquaculture and Marine Ecosystems
(FAME) Programme concerned with the SciCOFish project and focuses on the achievements of 2012
activities and progress towards stated objectives:
- Result 1: P-ACP governments, the FFA and the WCPFC are provided with scientific data, modelling,
and advice to underpin their management decision making and strategic positioning.
- Result 2: P-ACP governments, private sector and communities are equipped to monitor coastal
fisheries to provide scientific advice in support of sustainable management of these resources P-ACP
governments, private sector and communities will be provided with technical methods and training to
monitor coastal fisheries, scientific advice to inform management decisions, and development of in-
country capacity to evaluate their effectiveness.

1.2. Difficulties and changes
� The schedule for training and other technical support for sub-regional and national observer
programmes that was established early in 2012 fully utilised all manpower resources,
including the three staff recruited in 2011 and funded by the New Zealand Aid Programme.
However, the resources were stretched even further due to additional requests for unscheduled
observer and debriefer training in Fiji and Kiribati.
� In early 2012 the Fisheries Scientist (national scientific support) resigned and the position was
vacant for five months. A consultant was engaged to ensure that all of the national-level
technical work was undertaken, but we were not able to undertake all the capacity building
work (e.g. attachments) that we had planned and this has been deferred to 2013.
� While SPC worked closely with other regional agencies (e.g. FFA) and industry stakeholder
groups (International Seafood Sustainability Foundation - ISSF) to ensure the wide
dissemination of our economic data collection form for purse seine fisheries, the response was
extremely poor. In 2013 we will take a two-pronged approach to address this issue with 1) a
trip to meet with the key ISSF officials to determine ways to improve the response rate; and 2)
work on a smaller scale project with purse seine operators in the Solomon Islands who have
shown interest in these types of analyses.
� The WCPFC has reduced the frequency of the main tuna stock assessments and has replaced
some of these assessments with work on important billfish (southwest Pacific Ocean striped
marlin and swordfish) and shark (oceanic whitetip and silky sharks). We are still using
existing tuna assessments in the evaluation of management options to support the WCPFC’s
consideration of conservation and management measures.
� The internet is potentially a powerful tool to respond to the requirements of member countries
and future initiatives in data management are now being focussed in this area although the
connectivity is not always acceptable.
� Similar to 2011, there is an increasing demand for assistance with sea cucumber fisheries,
monitoring and management and countries have had to wait for project staff to be free to
undertake the capacity development and/or management advice.
� With the lack of requests for finfish UVC (underwater visual census) surveys the project has
changed focus to creel surveys in 2012 with a manual drafted and trialled in four countries,
with good success that has generated more interest from other countries.
� Biological sampling protocols have also been added to the data collection activities for coastal
finfish species with growing interest within countries for assistance and training.

� Some of the countries where capacity development has taken place, especially for sea
cucumber surveys, the countries themselves are lacking the resources, human and financial, to
carry on the work, or have to plan this into future budgets which has hindered the progression
from training to ongoing data collection and then analysis for management advice.
� With the development of the market and creel survey manual as a high priority, other manuals
have not progressed as well as planned. In fact, the finfish UVC manual will be reassessed in
early 2013 as to whether this is really needed given the lack of interest at the country level.
� In 2013 the coastal component will lose its first staff person mid-year due to limited funding
being left for the project. This will greatly affect delivery of the project in the finfish area
during the final stages of the project.

1.3. Main achievements
Observer training and systems
� Seven observer trainers and 90 debriefers received training, and 139 observers from the Cook
Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, Papua
New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tokelau, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu, were trained at
14 observer training courses. Training materials — including a video on long lining and
technical guide for purse seine
sub-regional and national observer programmes.

quality.
� Refinement of various data auditing tools, including a new web
logsheet reconciliation system which will allow countries to identify and resolve data gaps and
assist scientists to have a better understanding of the coverage of the data they use.
� The data coverage component of remote data

biological or socio-economic dimensions. The stock assessments undertaken for the tropical
tunas in 2011 were used to evaluate the potential impacts of alternative management options
for the fishery. This work supported the adoption by WCPFC of a new one year conservation
and management measure that should reduce overfishing of bigeye tuna. Further work will be
required over through 2013 to support the establishment of a longer and strengthened measure
that addresses concerns over bigeye tuna as well as ensuring that there is no further decline in
the status of yellowfin and skipjack tuna stocks.
� The shift away from infrequent National Tuna Fisheries Status Reports (NTFSRs) to a dual
approach of dissemination of key national fishery information through country-specific web
pages and country-specific advice on critical issues though Issue Specific National Reports
(ISNRs) has been a success. It has improved our ability to respond to both the regular request
for information and immediate needs for technical advice to support fisheries management
needs. A second set of ISNRs was completed in 2013 (see below) and country-specific reports
on three other issues (i.e., interactions between industrial and artisanal fishing, potential
impacts of catch retention in industrial purse seine fisheries on food security, and
characterization of within-EEZ longline fisheries and implications for sub-regional
management arrangements) initiated for completion in 2013.
� Bioeconomic analyses of the potential impact of restrictions of the use of Fish Aggregating
Devices (FADs) were summarised in country-specific reports for seven countries were
undertaken during the third quarter of 2012 and then updated (at the request of countries) in
the fourth quarter. These directly influenced the consideration of FAD management at both the
national and regional level.
� A bioeconomic model of the Fiji longline fishery was developed through Government and
Industry collaboration and supported the Fiji Governments consideration of vessel licence
numbers for their fishery.
� Country visits were made to Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Niue, and Samoa, to
provide technical advice on areas such as setting national catch limits, to help determine
national positions to take forward for sub-regional and regional negotiations. These trips also
provided opportunities for small capacity building workshops to improve the understanding of
the regional stock assessments.
� Collection of economic data from longline fleets in Samoa and Fiji, and development of a
survey questionnaire for purse seine vessels.
Ecosystem modelling of management and climate change
� The results of the regional analyses on the impacts of climate change for skipjack tuna have
been revised and published in scientific journal “Climatic Change” (Lehodey et al. 2012. DOI
10.1007/s10584-012-0595-y). The regional analyses for the south pacific stock of albacore
11
tuna has been completed and will be presented to the 2013 meeting of CLIOTOP. National
and regional reports on vulnerability of tuna to climate variability including climate change
have been completed. Critiquing of the requirements for ongoing monitoring of climate
impacts on oceanic fisheries has been completed and published (Nicol et al.2012. Climatic
Change, DOI 10.1007/s10584-012-0598-y). Analyses examining the implications for
economic development and food security from climate change on oceanic fisheries have also
been completed and published (Bell et al. 2012. Climatic Change, DOI 10.1007/s10584-012-
0606-2).
Validate key model parameters through tagging
� The tuna tagging activities in the central Pacific Ocean resulted in over 6,014 bigeye tuna
being tagged including the release of over 18 with electronic archival data collection tags. The
total number of tagged tuna in the WCPO is now in excess of 366,000 and is the most
extensive tuna tagging dataset available for stock assessment. The rate of tag recoveries
currently exceeds 16% of releases. Recent analyses examining FAD use in the WCPO has
been published (Leroy et al. 2012. Aquatic Living Resources, DOI: 10.1051/alr/2012033).
Conduct stakeholder consultation
� Stakeholder consultations have been at the country level in 2012 for specific countries only, as
most have had the priorities set in previous years and there is only one country left for 2014.
Current priorities were also reconfirmed at the SciCOFish steering committee meeting in early
2012 and this too allowed adjustments to the work plan for 2012.
Develop local capacity to implement field monitoring protocols
Measures of sea cucumbers, Samoa, May 2012
(image: Kalo Pakoa, SPC Fisheries scientist – invertebrates)
� Capacity development in sea cucumber survey methodologies has continued in Cook Islands
(8 staff), Samoa (7 staff), Palau (11 staff), Pohnpei, FSM (6 staff) and Fiji (13 staff) with two
attachments from each of Solomon Islands and Vanuatu and one from Samoa undertaking data
entry, analysis and interpretation of the analysis into management advice.
12
� Capacity development in creel survey methodologies was commenced in Nauru (5 staff),
Tonga (6 staff), Pohnpei, FSM (10) and Fiji (6 staff) and biological sampling of finfish in
Pohnpei FSM (10 staff), Kiribati (6 staff), Marshall Islands (5 staff) with two staff from Nauru
brought to Noumea on attachment for initial training on aging fish (collection of otoliths and
reading growth rings).

Develop and implement secondary data collection protocols
� Database has been drafted for entering and analysing data collected through both market and
creel surveys. Export data base being expanded to collect catch data as well as exports for
aquarium fish.
� In support of the data collection, mini-servers are being set-up in country for storage of coastal
fisheries date which will allow long-term storage in a centralised location. Initial work has
also been undertaken in Timor-Leste for assisting them with data needs.

Develop management advice
� At the end of each in-country training for sea cucumbers, an initial assessment is made of the
areas surveyed so as to provide feedback to the host government. In the case of Solomons and
13
Vanuatu after the full analysis in early 2012, both countries retained the moratorium in place
for another three years. In the case on Fiji, the initial data indicated the fishery should be
closed, however, further survey work is continuing and a more in-depth assessment will be
made in 2014.
� The initial 16 information sheets for fisheries management for communities were very well
received in 2011, so to complement this a further 7 information sheets and on brochure on
community-managed no-take areas in fisheries management were produced in association with
the locally-managed marine area (LMMA) network. These sheets have also be translated into
Portuguese and distributed to Timor-Leste. In addition, a poster on trochus was produced to
encourage better management of this commercial invertebrate species.

Project coordination and dissemination of results
� Project Steering Committee was held 9 June 2012 to give an overview of the SciCOFish
Project and its expected results, to advise members on the 2011 activities and to receive
guidance from countries to identify the priorities for 2012 (year 3 of the project) work
programme.
14
� Continuation of work on gender equality, specifically promoting observer job for men and
women and introducing gender equality in trainings tools and code of conduct. A promoting
brochure will be published in 2013.
� Production and distribution of the video “Hook, line and tuna” showing Pacific Island
Observers on a longliner. As the “Deep blue” video produced in 2011, it will be used as a
training tool for observers and also as a promotional tool, to be projected on national TV, to
promote the recruitment of new observers.
