general, the clarity and stability that the National Tuna Fishery Management Plan hasprovided has produced an improved commercial environment, leading to greaterbenefits. The clarity has also (as given as objectives in the plan) improved decisionmakingthrough effective communications, and promoted the concept that theprovisions of this Plan are developed, implemented, administered and monitored inan efficient and cost-effective manner.As with all offshore fisheries, the enforcement of management measures is bothexpensive yet critical for the success of management system. The surveillance andenforcement programme of the National Fisheries Authority has three maincomponents: (1) the use of NFA fishery observers on selected vessels, (2)cooperation with the PNG Defense Force in the physical surveillance/enforcement inthe Fishery Zone, (3) implementation of the electronic vessel monitoring system, and(4) cooperation with other countries of the region in tuna fishery enforcementmatters (coordinated through the Forum Fisheries Agency). In the late 1990s PNGreceived substantial assistance from New Zealand for the enhancement of NFA’sinspection, licensing, and enforcement role.The NFA Managing Director may appoint any employee of the Authority or anybodyhe considers appropriate to be Fishery Officers for the purpose of enforcing theFisheries Management Act. Members of the Police Force and Defence Force are alsoFishery Officers for the purposes of fisheries enforcement.The major domestic stakeholders in PNG’s tuna fishery are able to have substantialinput into the decision making process through the make-up the NFA’s governingboard. Of the ten persons making up the board, three are important nongovernmenttuna stakeholders:• the President of the Fishing Industry Association• one person nominated by the Fishing Industry Association• one person nominated by fisheries resource ownersInformation for management decisions dealing with tuna is acquired throughvarious means. Tuna fishing vessels are required to record and submit logbookforms containing position, effort, and catch information. This routinely-collecteddata is processed and analyzed by NFA’s Research and Management Branch, whereit is entered into a database and compared to targets in the management plan. Thedata is also forwarded to the Oceanic Fisheries Programme of the Secretariat of thePacific Community where it is combined with similar information from neighboringcountries to provide a regional perspective to PNG on its tuna resources.10. Sir Hugo’s court materialsSir Hugo’s court defense against Nusa Business Group:The agreement between the ESPG and Sepik Sea products Ltd, as produced in defense of theirdeed in the court case against Nusa Business Group:The East Sepik Provincial Government through the East Sepik Development Corporation(ESDECO) has entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with South Sea Products Limited(Incorporated 6 October 2000). The government under its Coastal Fisheries Development212
Programme is expanding this programme via ESDECO to participate in fish export from InlandRiver Resources and Blue Water Fish Produce.Sepik Sea products Limited will establish the Major Export-Marketing infrastructure and carryout limited processing of fish from the subject property at Section E, Allotment 3, Town ofWewak. The joint operations will necessitate a major reconstruction programme to buildings onthe land and the introduction of Large Ice Making Facilities, Blast Freezers and Cold Storage(Estimated capital cost K250,000).The Wewak Operation will initially involve 3 fishing vessels, based in Wewak and operating inBismark Waters. The boats will operate on a 10-14 day turn around, and are using long liners tocatch premium albacore, yellow fin and skipjack tuna for export to the Sashimi market in Japan.The other part of SSP?ESDECO operations is fish processing. A small canning operation ofBech-de-mer, squid and filleting, vacuum packing of export grades of river eels will beintroduced—late 2001.The Motor Vessel Avisat (idle at Angoram since 1995) arrived in Wewak (under own power) inNovember 2001. Sepik Sea Products Limited is funding the capital cost of rep[airs/refurbishmentof hull and motors and refrigeration plant (onboard). Coast at 1 Aprik 2001—total K155,000.The vessel is alongside the small ships wharf—opposite Fisheries.The “Avisat” is programmed to commence a Sepik River Operational Schedule in early May2001—two trips per month is planned between Wewak—Mouth of the Sepik—Angoram—Ambunti—and return to Wewak.Sepik Sea Products Limited is founded and owned by well-known PNG businessman Sir HugoBerghuser, MBE. East Sepik Development Corporation (ESDECO) is committed to participationin SSP.All operations necessitate the use, after a complete rebuilding programme of propertyinfrastructure, of Section E Allotment 3, Town of Wewak.Furthermore:The Documented Investments by National Provincial and RAP finding at Sec E Lot 3, Town ofWewak—is substantial.In 1995 RH Sir Michael T. Somare (then) Governor ESP issues—Our Brief (June 1995).To research to establish a fish and marine produce processing holding/storage, marketing andsales plant at “Fisheries Wewak.” This “company/plant”, which will trade and function as acommercial enterprise company, will serve village fishing communities; and fishing groups canelect to sell their marine produce to the company under certain quota/grade fixed priceagreements. The “company/Plant” in turn will process and market fish products to localwholesalers, retailers, shops, hotels and to East Sepik inland markets.Sepik Marine Resources Pty Limited was incorporated on 11 March 1996.RAP Funding to project via Department of East Sepik Province became available in two (2)stances (sic),213
