Recommendations to the 10th Meeting of the North Pacific Fisheries Commission on Updating and Reviewing Bottom Fisheries Impact Assessments

    The submission from the Deep Sea Conservation Coalition (DSCC) contains recommendations to the Commission for strengthening the implementation of the existing criteria and obligations in CMM 2025-05 for conducting bottom fisheries impact assessments and on fully incorporating commitments made by Members through the adoption of UN General Assembly resolutions since 2008 as reflected in the preambular language of CMM 2025-05.
     

    These recommendations would serve to bring the bottom fisheries impact assessments due in time for review by the meetings of the SSC BF-ME and the Scientific Committee in 2026 into line with CMM 2025-05, UNGA resolutions, the NPFC Convention text, the UN Fish Stocks Agreement and other relevant commitments and international instruments.
