National Plans of Action (NPOA) Sample Clauses

National Plans of Action (NPOA). 9.5.1 Argentina announced the recent adoption of the National Plan of Action – Seabirds (NPOA-S) approved by the Federal Fisheries Council (Resolution 03/2010) (xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx/resoluciones/res03-10.pdf). This NPOA-S is framed within the FAO IPOA and follows the objectives of the Agreement. 9.5.2 The drafting of the NPOA-S was possible thanks to a number of actions led by the Federal Fisheries Council since 2001, a technical document elaborated by researchers from National universities and the National Research Council, as well as inputs from a number of workshops with the participation of researchers, government and NGOs. 9.5.3 The NPOA-S includes information on the legal and institutional framework, a characterisation of Argentine fisheries, the ecology and conservation status of main seabird species, the description of mitigation methods available for different fisheries, as well as the mechanisms for its monitoring and implementation. The Plan includes descriptions of the legal and institutional framework of Argentinean fisheries, of the conservation status of the main seabird species, of ecological aspects and of proposed mitigation measures. Finally it describes the processes by which the plan had been elaborated and how its implementation would be monitored. 9.5.4 Peru has begun the process of developing an NPOA Seabirds. A draft document is currently being prepared with assistance from the American Bird Conservancy. The final draft NPOA will be submitted for stakeholder consultation and a validation workshop for final approval. Peru plans to produce a proposal for the next meeting of the AC to seek funding for the project. 9.5.5 Chile confirmed that they had ratified their NPOA in February 2008, and it had been published and distributed to stakeholders. 9.5.6 BirdLife reported their understanding that Namibia is re-commencing work on developing an NPOA. 9.5.7 WWF congratulated those Parties which have prioritised the development of NPOAs. NPOAs are a critical tool in addressing seabird conservation, however unless there is also effective implementation, these plans have little effect. An opportunity exists for all Parties to re-invigorate their commitment and action to implement effective NPOAs with the recent release of the revised FAO IPOA BPTG. WWF understood action had been taken by some Parties in this regard, and congratulated Argentina in particular on the recent adoption of their NPOA.
