Report of Working Group Sample Clauses

Report of Working Group. 9.1.1 The Convenor of the Seabird Bycatch Working Group (SBWG) presented the report of the Third Meeting of the SBWG to the Committee (AC5 Doc 14 Rev 1). The report contained Items relevant to Agenda items 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5, 14 and 16 and SBWG discussions on these items were deferred until those items were discussed by the Committee. 9.1.2 SBWG had reviewed recent developments in seabird bycatch mitigation technologies by its members and others. These developments included updates on hook pods and the underwater setting capsules for pelagic longline gear, and reports on research on bird scaring lines and line weighting. It was impressive to note the level of research being carried out on mitigation, particularly by Australia, the USA (which has been collaborating with the Japanese fishing industry), and by BirdLife‘s Albatross Task Force, which is working in South America, South Africa and Namibia. The Working Group noted that this research was continuing and it is likely that significant results will be available by the time of the next meeting of the Working Group. The Working Group was also pleased to receive news of the finalisation of Argentina‘s NPOA-Seabirds, and congratulated the government of Argentina on this achievement. 9.1.3 A major product of previous SBWG meetings has been a review of information on current mitigation research for pelagic long-line fisheries and the identification of knowledge gaps (AC4 Doc 14 Rev 4, Annex 5). The information in this table was again reviewed and updated, following presentation of a number of papers which dealt comprehensively with design of Bird Scaring Lines, and the impact on line sink rates of line shooters, bait life-status, placement and amount of weight in relation to the hook, and bait thaw status (SBWG-3 Doc 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13 Rev1 and 31). The results of this review are attached as Annex 6. 9.1.4 These papers highlighted a number of issues relevant to mitigation of seabird bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries and provided, for the first time, information on the effectiveness of mitigation measures that have been advocated for many years, without appropriate empirical evidence.

Report of Working Group. 13.1.1 The Taxonomy Working Group (TWG) did not present a report as no work had been required on taxonomic issues since the last meeting of the Advisory Committee. 13.1.2 Xxxx Xxxxxx (Vice-chair) asked for comments on any issues of taxonomy relating to species listed on Annex 1. The United States suggested that the TWG should consider whether populations of Black-footed Albatrosses nesting in Japan and Hawaii are separate biological units (subspecies). A recent study of the population genetic structure of Black-footed Albatrosses nesting in Hawaii and Japan found that cytochrome b sequences revealed significant differentiation between Hawaiian and Japanese Black-footed albatrosses. Negligible migration rates, coupled with size differences between Hawaiian and Japanese birds and other DNA differences between these suggest that these birds also may be reproductively isolated, despite overlap in their at-sea distributions. Clarification of the status of these populations (subspecies) would be beneficial for conservation and management purposes.
Report of Working Group. 14.1.1 The Report of the Breeding Sites Working Group was discussed under Agenda Item 12.
