Abstract

At SBWG6 the Working Group reviewed progress against the 2013-2016 framework for ACAP’s engagement strategy with the RFMOs and CCAMLR (SBWG6 Doc11 Rev1). Further progress has been achieved since SBWG6 against some important elements of this framework, as outlined in Table 1. A revised list of actions to implement the framework is provided for the next triennium for discussion and endorsement by the SBWG and subsequent adoption by the Advisory Committee.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The SBWG is requested to review and endorse the revised list of actions (including both Further Actions, and New Actions) to be taken in the RFMOs identified in Table 1 of this document; and
2. To request the Advisory Committee to support the implementation of these actions, providing the resources necessary to achieve this.
