Update on the “Project proposal for enhancing education on and implementation of Ecologically Related Species seabird measures within CCSBT fisheries

Members of the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT), with support from BirdLife International and the CCSBT Secretariat, developed a project for enhancing the implementation of Ecologically Related Species (ERS) conservation measures in CCSBT fisheries. The project includes outreach, training and further development of systems to verify onboard implementation of the ERS measures. The project was developed in response to a recommendation from the 2018 meeting of CCSBT's Compliance Committee (CC 13 paras 101 and 111).
