Abstract

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) sincerely thanks the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries
Commission (WCPFC) Scientific Committee (SC) for again allowing WWF to attend and contribute to
the 15th Regular Session of the SC (SC15) as an observer and to address the important role it plays the management of the Western Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) fisheries.
These recommendations are not comprehensive and are not meant to exclude or diminish other
important work currently considered by the SC. However, WWF would like to offer the following
position and recommendations to the SC regarding significant scientific issues that WWF believes to
be priority.
