DEMERSAL LONGLINE BYCATCH MITIGATION Sample Clauses

DEMERSAL LONGLINE BYCATCH MITIGATION. The Working Group considered SBWG-2 Doc 6, which had been developed intersessionally in order to help meet Item 4.8 of the Advisory Committee work programme. The objective of the paper was to produce an equivalent review for demersal longlining to that developed at SBWG-1 for pelagic longlining (AC3 Doc 14 Rev 4, Appendix 4, Table 2). The paper did not review all of the mitigation research that had occurred as this would largely have repeated that in the pelagic longlining review paper. A key difference was that demersal fishers usually wanted the hooks to reach the seabed as rapidly as possible and extra weight on the line was less of an issue than in pelagic fisheries. Key mitigation techniques relate to a) avoiding peak times/places of seabird feeding activity; b) getting the baited hooks as deep and as fast as possible; c) deterring seabirds from interacting with hooks, and d) reducing the visibility of hooks and the attractiveness of vessels. Argentina made an intervention to explain that it had withdrawn its co-authorship of Doc. 6 due to references to the Islas Malvinas, Georgias del Sur and Sandwich del Sur and the surrounding maritime areas which were not acceptable to Argentina and that the United Kingdom had not accepted to eliminate or modify. The final version of the document contains such references and does not adjust to Resolution 2.9 adopted in MOP2, in relation to which Argentina, in line with the declaration included in its instrument of ratification of ACAP, rejected the document. The UK clarified that it had been willing to amend Document 6 in line with Resolution 2.9 of MoP2, but were unwilling to remove or modify reference to valid scientific studies. In relation to this, Chile made an intervention expressing its support to the legitimate sovereignty rights of Argentina over the Islas Malvinas, Georgias del Sur and Sandwich del Sur and the surrounding maritime areas, reiterated the need that Argentina and the United Kingdom resume negotiations in order to find, as soon as possible, a peaceful solution to this sovereignty dispute taking into account the relevant resolutions of international organisationsin particular the United Nations- and expressed the need to foster a frank, constructive, and efficient dialogue between both countries to solve this situation. The Table from Document 6 was revised in line with comments received and is attached at Annex 3. A re-evaluation of the priorities for research was carried out (Annex 4). The...

DEMERSAL LONGLINE BYCATCH MITIGATION. The Working Group reviewed information on current mitigation measures for demersal long-line fisheries and updated the information in the table presented at AC4 (AC4 Doc 14 Rev 4, Annex 3). The results of this review are attached as Annex 7, and a best practice advice statement for demersal longline gear developed during the meeting of the WG is attached as Annex 8. It is recommended that the Advisory Committee endorse this advice and encourage Parties to use this information to guide the development of policy and practice within demersal longline fisheries under their jurisdiction.
DEMERSAL LONGLINE BYCATCH MITIGATION. 3.1 Mitigation research update
DEMERSAL LONGLINE BYCATCH MITIGATION. 15.4.1 The SBWG discussion focused on recent advances in research relating to seabird bycatch mitigation in demersal longline fisheries. The SBWG noted that the results from two research projects presented at the meeting were consistent with ACAP's review and advice on best-practice mitigation for demersal longline operations. The current review is attached as ANNEX 17, and the advice as ANNEX 18. 15.4.2 On the basis of discussions regarding mitigation research priorities for demersal longline fisheries, the SBWG identified the development and testing of mitigation measures for small vessels as the main outstanding research priority.
