• Minimise any adverse impacts of tuna fishing and related activities on themarine environment;• Minimise any adverse impacts on the non-industrial sectors, including theartisanal and traditional sectors;• Improve decision-making in relation to the tuna fishery through effectivecommunications; and• Ensure that the provisions of the Plan are developed, implemented,administered and monitored in an efficient and cost-effective manner.With respect to the main management strategies applied, the NFA will:• Establish a national Total Allowable Catch for either each relevant fishery, orby licence category;• Implement limits on fishing effort for tuna species, consistent with nationalTAC levels;• Encourage and facilitate the sustainable development of Papua New Guinea’sdomestic industry for tuna;• Develop and apply criteria for licence consideration, which give preference toPNG operators;• Regulate the deployment and utilisation of artificial fish attractants, includinganchored fish aggregation devices (FAD or payao), that may cause gearconflict and fishery interaction, or have adverse biological impact on the tunastocks;• Support incentives to invest in the domestic tuna industry;• Where necessary, implement zoning to prevent localized tuna stock depletion,or gear conflict, and assist in enhancing the longer term viability of locallybasedindustries;• Collect and validate scientific data on the status of tuna stocks to contributeto national and regional assessment of stocks through the use of regional logbooks, port sampling, scientific observers, and other methods;• Promote active industry involvement in research, including the use of industryvessels and knowledge to improve stock assessment processes as well asproviding economic data on their operations for the purpose of reviewing thePlan;• Develop and implement a policy to recover the costs of management;• Monitor the impact of tuna fishing on associated or dependent species and,where necessary, adopt measures to ensure sustainable management;210
• Monitor interactions between the licensed tuna fishery and other users of theresource, and where necessary, implement measures to address any adverseimpacts;• Monitor the economic performance of the tuna fishery, including informationon catches, sales, processing and other relevant information from both thecatching and processing sectors;• Implement a strategy for responsible fishing, as required under internationalor regional conventions to which PNG is a party;• Facilitate ongoing consultations on management arrangements.The actual measures applied depend on the gear type:The main management measures for longlining are: (1) Licences only to Papua NewGuinea registered and flagged vessels and locally-based foreign fishing vesselsoperated by Papua New Guinea companies, (2) The total number of longline tunafishing vessels to be licensed shall be 100, (3) Locally-based foreign longline vesselswill not be granted licences to operate as freezer vessels, (4) The total allowablecatch for the tuna longline fishery in the fisheries waters of Papua New Guinea is tobe 10,000 metric tonnes per annum, and (5) Fishing using longline gear is prohibitedin areas within 12 miles from any land or island or declared reef.The main management measures for purse seining are: (1) The total number ofpurse seine fishing vessels to be licensed shall be 100, (2) The total allowable catchfor the tuna purse seine fishery in the fisheries waters of Papua New Guinea shall be300,000 mt per annum, (3) Only vessels with carrying capacity of 600 mt or lessmay operate with motherships within the PNG fisheries zone, (4) All fish taken bylocally based foreign vessels within the EEZ and on the High Seas must be landed inPNG for processing or transshipped as PNG export from a designated port, (5) Inaddition to the licence fee prescribed in the Regulations, there shall be a charge forlocally-based foreign vessels for access to the tuna resource, (6) Locally-basedforeign purse seine fishing vessels on charter and foreign-based foreign vessels arenot to fish in the Territorial Seas or Archipelagic Waters, and (7) Access is strictlyprohibited, unless stated otherwise in the terms of the licence, twelve miles from anyland, island or declared reef.The main management measures for pole-and-line fishing are: (1) The total numberof pole-and-line tuna vessels that will be licensed to operate in the fishery will be 30,(2) The TAC shall be 20,000 mt, (3) Areas where access is strictly prohibited, unlessstated otherwise in the terms of the licence, are any less than twelve miles from anyland, island or declared reef.The measures have been reasonably effective in attaining the objectives which havebeen set. In terms of specific progress, one of the greatest successes is that thenumber of locally-based longliners (and associated employment and other benefits)has increased remarkably since the National Tuna Fishery Management Plan wasformulated. With respect to purse seining, the number of licenses issued hasremained under the stipulated cap. Because there is presently no pole-and-line tunafishing in PNG, it is not possible to evaluate the management measures applied. In211
