A Study of the Management Measures of the Taiwan Tuna Fishery in Response to the WCPFC Boarding and Inspection Procedures / 因應中西太平洋漁業委員會登臨檢查程序台灣鮪漁業管理事項之探討

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 應用經濟研究所 / 96 / In order to maintain the sustainability of the tuna resources and to avoid the illegal, unreported or unregulated fishing behaviors effectively, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) initiated the “Boarding and Inspection Procedures in International Waters” during the 3rd meeting in 2006, and had endorsed several specifications, such the details of patrol vessel, inspection flag, authorized-inspectors identification, and the standardized multi-language questionnaires, during the 4th meeting in 2007. The majority of the tuna fishery in Taiwan will be be affected, since the number of the Taiwanese tuna longline and purse seine vessels in the WCPFC’s water were 1,827 and 34, which counted as 77% and 100% of the total tuna longliner and purse seiner in Taiwan, respectively.
In this study, a review of the processes about how did WCPFC reached the agreement and a comparision of the practice of the boarding and inspection procedures in several regional fishery organizations are provided. An in-depth interviews are conducted with the senior members of the tuna industry on the regulatory measures of the government, so as to provide our suggestions to the government and the industry.
Even though the Fishery Agency in Taiwan has already announced and educated fishermen about the procedures, however there are still lack of patrolling force to implement it. It is necessary to cooperate with other major coastal countries in WCPFC region to integrate the force of patrolling and to set up a squad team to supervise and standardize the inspection procedure, in order to fulfill the WCPFC’s requirement.
