I would like here to say ―thank you‖ again for your trust and enthusiasm towards us by accepting to entrust us with this important responsibility. I hope we will come up to your expectations regarding this event and that you will congratulate yourselves on your choice. Our hosting of this event reflects our interest for the work of WCPFC and our commitment for sustainable and responsible fishing in the Pacific. Stakes and challenges are huge, at every level: in French Polynesia, in the Pacific and in the whole world. French Polynesia stretches over a maritime area of 5,500,000 km², which is as vast as Europe. Polynesians are intimately, historically and culturally connected to the sea. They arrived from the sea and depend on the sea for their survival in many instances. Fishing is the third provider of revenues in our country, after tourism and cultured pearls, and the proper management of that resource, which is indispensable for our economic development, is amongst the priorities of my Government. Our responsibility towards future generations is to find the right balance between preservation and exploitation of our stocks of highly migratory fish. In this regard, I want to express my concerns regarding the continued increasing fishing effort in our large Ocean. In 2008, tuna catches reached a record high of 2,426,125 (two millions four hundred and twenty-six thousand one hundred and twenty-five) tonnes in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, which corresponds to 56% of global tuna catches. In spite of the courageous conservation and management measures adopted in Pusan last year, bigeye tuna stocks are still overfished, which actually threatens the very existence of that resource, and yellowfin tuna stocks are just below the overfishing threshold. It is our duty to pursue our efforts in order to reduce the fishing pressure on certain species, while ensuring that we are not adversely affecting the specific needs and legitimate aspirations of Pacific developing island states and territories. We should pay special attention to the most destructive fishing methods for fish stocks and the whole marine ecosystem, including non-target species. Most of all, we must relentlessly fight the looting of our resources by taking any useful measures to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. French Polynesia will support any measure that is likely to help achieve such goal. I refer more specifically to the closing of the high seas pockets, which too often serve as refuges for IUU vessels; I refer to reinforced controls of high-sea transhipments, to the improvement of Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) and the extension of the scope of the Regional Observer Programme. WCPFC is the latest tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organisation, but as talent does not depend upon age, it has already shown its determination and sense of responsibility when the circumstances require it. As French Polynesia has made the choice of a reasoned and sustainable exploitation of its fishery resources, with the aim of an environment-friendly development, we can identify with WCPFC‘s work and with the efforts made by its members to preserve and best manage the resource. I also would like to pay tribute to the remarkable work done in so few years by the management and the staff of the Secretariat, in difficult circumstances sometimes. At the time when the executive director, Mr Andrew Wright, has just announced that he would soon be leaving in order to get closer to his family in Tasmania, I would like to pay a special tribute to him. I think you will join me in acknowledging that he has all the qualities of a great director, a blend of professional skills and human qualities. We will regret him and we wish him all the best in his new occupation. 52
It is my wish that these days of work be fruitful and bring hope for the future of this shared resource which we only borrow from our children. I also hope that you will find some time, in your busy agenda, to discover the hospitality and beauty of Tahiti and her islands. To you all, I wish a very pleasant stay in our FENUA, Te aroha ia rahi e māuruuru. 53
