Common use of Fisheries Management and Conservation Issues Clause in Contracts

Fisheries Management and Conservation Issues. 1. A precautionary approach shall be applied in determining levels of sustainable catch, fishing capacity and other management strategies to avoid or reverse undesirable outcomes such as over-capacity and over-fishing, as well as undesirable impacts on the ecosystems and artisanal fisheries. 2. Each EAC Partner State may take appropriate measures, including seasonal and gear restrictions, in order to protect its territorial waters and ensure the sustainability of artisanal and coastal fisheries. 3. The Parties shall promote the membership of all concerned EAC Partner State(s) to the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC) and other relevant fisheries organisations. The EAC Partner State(s), with the EU, shall coordinate action to ensure the management and conservation of all fish species, including tuna and tuna-like resources and to facilitate relevant scientific research. 4. Where there is insufficient scientific evidence for the competent national management authority to determine limits and target levels of sustainable catch in the EEZ of the EAC Partner State(s), the Parties, in consultation with the competent national authority, and together with IOTC and, where relevant, other regional fisheries organisations, shall support such scientific analysis. 5. The Parties agree to take appropriate measures where an increase in effort results in catch levels above the target sustainable level established by the competent national authority. 6. In order to conserve and manage straddling stocks and highly migratory fish stocks, the EU and the EAC Partner State(s) shall ensure compliance by vessels flying their flags with relevant national, regional and sub-regional fisheries management measures and related national laws and regulations.
