2.3 Endangered, Threatened and Protected (ETP) species<br />

Scoring criteria Scoring guidepost 60 Scoring guidepost 80 Scoring guidepost 100<br />

2.3.1 Status: The fishery<br />

meets<br />

national and<br />

international<br />

requirements for<br />

protection<br />

of ETP species.<br />

The fishery does not<br />

pose a risk of serious<br />

or<br />

irreversible harm to<br />

ETP<br />

species and does not<br />

hinder recovery of<br />

ETP<br />

species.<br />

(1-60) Known effects of the<br />

fishery are likely to be within<br />

limits of national and<br />

international requirements for<br />

protection of ETP species.<br />

(2-60) Known direct effects are<br />

unlikely to create unacceptable<br />

impacts to ETP species.<br />

(1-80) The effects of the fishery<br />

are known and are highly likely<br />

to be within limits of national and<br />

international requirements for<br />

protection of ETP species.<br />

(2-80) Direct effects are highly<br />

unlikely to create unacceptable<br />

impacts to ETP species.<br />

(3-80) Indirect effects have been<br />

considered and are thought to<br />

be unlikely to create<br />

unacceptable impacts.<br />

(1-100) There is a high degree of<br />

certainty that the effects of the<br />

fishery are within limits of<br />

national and international<br />

requirements for protection of<br />

ETP species.<br />

(2-100) There is a high degree of<br />

confidence that there are no<br />

significant detrimental effects<br />

(direct and indirect) of the fishery<br />

on ETP species.<br />

Scoring comments<br />

Because the UoC fishes with rod and line, it is considered impossible that marine mammals are caught. There is a high degree of certainty that<br />

the effects of the fishery are within limits of national and international requirements for protection of ETP species.<br />

Very occasionally a bird might accidentally get tangled up in a fishing line. When this happens the bird will immediately be released and most<br />

probably will survive the incident. Indirect effects have been considered and are thought to be unlikely to create unacceptable impacts.<br />
