TUNA TRACKING AND VERIFICATION Sample Clauses

TUNA TRACKING AND VERIFICATION. The System for Tracking and Verifying Tuna, established in accordance with Article V.1.f of the AIDCP, enables “dolphin-safe” tuna, defined as tuna caught in sets without mortality or serious injury of dolphins, to be identified and tracked from the time it is caught through unloading, processing, and sale. The Tuna Tracking Form (TTF), completed at sea by observers, identifies the tuna caught as dolphin safe (Form ‘A’) or non-dolphin safe (Form ‘B’); with this document, the dolphin safe status of any tuna caught by a vessel covered by the AIDCP can be determined. Within this framework, administered by the Secretariat, each Party establishes its own tracking and verification program, implemented and operated by a desig- nated national authority, which includes periodic audits and spot checks for caught, landed, and processed tuna products, mechanisms for communication and cooperation between and among national authorities, and timely access to relevant data. Each Party is required to provide the Secretariat with a report detailing its tracking and verification program. All trips by vessels fishing in the Agreement Area that departed in 2010 with an IDCP observer aboard were issued TTFs.
