| Desc | INTERNATIONALBELIZEBAN GILLNETSOCEANA IN BELIZE HAS BEEN WORKING FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO OBTAIN A GOVERNMENT BAN ON THE USE OF DESTRUCTIVE GILLNETS, AND AT THE CLOSE OF 2019, WE WERE VERY CLOSE TO ACHIEVING THIS GOAL. DISCUSSIONS WITH THE GOVERNMENT HAVE PROGRESSED IN RECENT WEEKS AND A DRAFT AGREEMENT IS BEING DISCUSSED BY THE PRIME MINISTER AND THE MINISTER OF FISHERIES. WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO REPORT ON THIS VICTORY IN 2020. WE BELIEVE THE BAN CAN BE ENACTED AND COME INTO FORCE IN 2020. THE BAN CAN BE ENACTED BY STATUTORY INSTRUMENT (SI), WHICH IS LESS TIME CONSUMING THAN PRESENTING A BILL IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. AN SI CARRIES THE SAME LEGAL WEIGHT AS A LEGISLATION PASSED BY THE HOUSE. OCEANA WILL SUPPORT THE TRANSITION PROCESS BY FOCUSING OUR COMMUNICATIONS ON IMPLEMENTATION OF THE BAN. | Desc |

| Desc | UNITED STATESIN THE UNITED STATES, OCEANA IS WORKING ON SCIENCE-BASED POLICY CAMPAIGNS THAT SEEK TO ADVANCE RESPONSIBLE FISHING, STOP NEW OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS DEVELOPMENT, REDUCE ILLEGAL FISHING, STOP THE SHARK FIN TRADE, PROTECT THE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE AND DEFEND THE NATION'S BEDROCK CONSERVATION LAWS.STOP EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLINGIN LATE APRIL OF THIS YEAR, THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION ANNOUNCED THAT IT HAD "INDEFINITELY DELAYED" ITS PLAN TO RADICALLY EXPAND OFFSHORE DRILLING TO NEARLY ALL U.S. WATERS. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS DELAY OF THE OTHERWISE IMMINENT DRILLING PLAN COULD LAST AS LONG AS 18 MONTHS UNTIL NOVEMBER 2020. WE ARE STAYING ON GUARD IN CASE OF A CHANGE IN PLANS, WHICH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT NOTICE. WE HAVE ALSO SHIFTED TO A PROACTIVE CAMPAIGN PUSHING FOR LEGISLATION TO CLOSE THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC TO DRILLING TO MAINTAIN THE NECESSARY POLITICAL PRESSURE TO PREVENT PRESIDENT TRUMP FROM ADVANCING HIS OFFSHORE DRILLING PLAN.THE CONGRESSIONAL MORATORIUM ON OFFSHORE DRILLING IN THE GULF OF MEXICO REMAINS INTACT. NO BILLS THAT WOULD UNDO THE CONGRESSIONAL MORATORIUM ON DRILLING IN THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO PASSED EITHER HOUSE OF CONGRESS IN 2019. OCEANA AND ITS ALLIES ALSO SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR NEW LEGISLATION TO PLACE A MORATORIUM ON OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING IN OREGON STATE WATERS, AND TO PROHIBIT ANY ACTIVITIES OR NEW INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WOULD SUPPORT OIL DRILLING IN FEDERAL WATERS.IN SOUTH CAROLINA, OCEANA WORKED WITH ALLIES TO SUPPORT COASTAL RESIDENTS WHO WANTED TO PUT IN PLACE A STATE PROHIBITION ON ACTIONS TO FURTHER OIL AND GAS RELATED ACTIVITIES FOR ONE YEAR. IN VIRGINIA, WE MAINTAINED A DEFENSIVE POSTURE AND WERE SUCCESSFULLY ABLE TO PREVENT ANY PRO-OFFSHORE DRILLING STATE LEGISLATION. WE ALSO SUPPORTED BILLS PASSED IN NEW YORK AND GEORGIA THAT PROHIBIT OFFSHORE DRILLING AND INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WOULD SUPPORT IT, IN THOSE STATES.OCEANA'S EFFORTS TO REACH OUT TO COASTAL RESIDENTS AND BUSINESS LEADERS HAS LED TO A GROWING AND GALVANIZED BIPARTISAN OPPOSITION TO EXPANDED DRILLING, MOST NOTABLY FROM BUSINESSES THAT RELY ON HEALTHY OCEANS. THE THREE BUSINESS ALLIANCES THAT OPPOSE OFFSHORE DRILLING ON THE ATLANTIC, PACIFIC AND GULF COASTS AND WHICH OCEANA HELPED TO CREATE, NOW TOTAL AT LEAST 56,000 BUSINESSES AND 500,000 FISHING FAMILIES. MORE THAN 2,200 LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL ELECTED OFFICIALS, INCLUDING GOVERNORS ALONG THE EAST AND WEST COASTS AND MORE THAN 230 MEMBERS OF CONGRESS (A MAJORITY), NOW PUBLICLY OPPOSE EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLING AS WELL. IN ADDITION, AT THE END OF 2019, 380 MUNICIPALITIES HAD FORMALLY PASSED RESOLUTIONS OPPOSING OFFSHORE DRILLING AND/OR SEISMIC BLASTING (WE SECURED 58 OF THESE RESOLUTIONS IN 2019, EXCEEDING OUR GOAL OF 50).DEFENSE OF OCEAN PROTECTION LAWSOCEANA AND OUR MAGNUSON-STEVENS ACT COALITION PARTNERS HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FOUGHT ATTEMPTS TO WEAKEN THE MAGNUSON-STEVENS ACT AND THE MARINE MAMMAL PROTECTION ACT. FURTHERMORE, THERE WERE NO REVERSALS OF PREVIOUSLY PROTECTED MARINE AREAS IN 2019, ANOTHER STANDARD BY WHICH WE MEASURE SUCCESS IN THIS CAMPAIGN. BAN THE SHARK FIN TRADESHARK POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD ARE IN SERIOUS DECLINE, LARGELY DRIVEN BY THE DEMAND FOR THEIR FINS. FINS FROM AS MANY AS 73 MILLION SHARKS END UP IN THE GLOBAL SHARK FIN TRADE EACH YEAR, AND MORE THAN 70 PERCENT OF THE MOST POPULAR SPECIES IN THE FIN TRADE FACE A HIGH OR VERY HIGH THREAT OF EXTINCTION. A NATIONAL TRADE BAN WOULD ENSURE THAT THE UNITED STATES NO LONGER PARTICIPATES IN THE GLOBAL FIN TRADE THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE DECLINE OF MANY AT-RISK SHARK SPECIES. IN 2019, OCEANA SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR TWO CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES TO HOLD HEARINGS AND VOTES ON THE SHARK FIN SALES ELIMINATION ACT, WHICH WOULD PROHIBIT THE TRADE OF SHARK FINS IN THE U.S. SAVE THE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALEON SEPTEMBER 12, 2019, OCEANA LAUNCHED THE BINATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO SAVE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES FROM EXTINCTION. TO KICK OFF THE CAMPAIGN IN BOTH THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA WE RELEASED A BINATIONAL REPORT AND FACT SHEET WHICH DETAIL THE DIRE REALITY FACING NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES, HIGHLIGHT THE TWO GREATEST CURRENT THREATS FACING THEIR POPULATION (ENTANGLEMENTS IN FISHING GEAR AND COLLISIONS WITH SHIPS), AND OUTLINE WHAT MUST BE DONE FOR THIS SPECIES TO RECOVER. OCEANA WORKED IN COALITION TO INTRODUCE, BUILD SUPPORT, AND PASS H.R. 1568, THE SCIENTIFIC ASSISTANCE FOR VERY ENDANGERED NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES (SAVE) ACT OF 2019 IN THE HOUSE NATURAL RESOURCES COMMITTEE. THIS BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION WOULD PROVIDE A SUSTAINED SOURCE OF FEDERAL FUNDING FOR RESEARCH TO DEVELOP, TEST, OR USE INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES AND STRATEGIES TO REDUCE ENTANGLEMENTS AND VESSEL COLLISIONS. WE ALSO PUSHED FOR INCREASED FUNDING FOR NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALE CONSERVATION IN BOTH CHAMBERS. RESPONSIBLE FISHINGWHILE OUR PREVIOUS RESPONSIBLE FISHING CAMPAIGN IS FINISHED, WE HAD SOME OUTSTANDING VICTORIES IN 2019.ON OCTOBER 10, 2019, AFTER YEARS OF CAMPAIGN WORK BY OCEANA AND OUR PARTNERS, THE CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED A FIRST-OF-ITS-KIND FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR PACIFIC HERRING THAT WILL ENSURE A SUSTAINABLE HERRING FISHERY INTO THE FUTURE. WE ALSO SAW THE PACIFIC COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE USE OF DEEP-SET BUOY GEAR IN THE SWORDFISH FISHERY OFF CALIFORNIA AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE DESTRUCTIVE DRIFT GILLNETS THAT ARE DEADLY TO MARINE MAMMALS AND SEA TURTLES, MANY OF WHICH ARE ENDANGERED.TO HELP INCREASE CRITICAL OBSERVER COVERAGE IN THE GULF OF ALASKA TRAWL FISHERIES, WHICH HAVE VERY HIGH LEVELS OF BYCATCH, WE PERSUADED THE NORTH PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL TO AGREE TO TWO NEW MEASURES TO HELP FUND ADDITIONAL OBSERVERS (COVERAGE IS CURRENTLY ONLY ABOUT 25 PERCENT IN THE TRAWL FISHERIES). FIRST, THEY APPROVED AN INCREASE IN THE FEE THAT IS CHARGED TO PAY FOR THE OBSERVERS, WHICH SHOULD YIELD ENOUGH REVENUE TO BRING OBSERVER COVERAGE TO 100 PERCENT. THEN, THEY AGREED WITH OUR RECOMMENDATIONS ON COST CONTAINMENT MEASURES THAT WOULD MAKE THE PROGRAM MORE SUSTAINABLE AND DIRECTED THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERY SERVICE TO IMPLEMENT THEM. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 1, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION'S MISSION: | OCEANA WAS FOUNDED IN 2001 BY AN INTERNATIONAL GROUP OF FOUNDATIONS. DESPITE REPEATED SCIENTIFIC REPORTS OF WIDESPREAD FISHERY COLLAPSE CAUSED BY OVERFISHING AND POLLUTION, THE FOUNDERS DISCOVERED THAT LEADING ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATIONS SPENT LESS THAN HALF OF ONE PERCENT OF THEIR RESOURCES ON OCEAN CONSERVATION. HEALTHY OCEANS CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO FEEDING A GROWING WORLD POPULATION AND TO MITIGATING THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE, YET NO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION WAS WORKING EXCLUSIVELY TO PROTECT AND RESTORE ABUNDANT OCEAN FISHERIES. OCEANA'S FOUNDERS ENVISIONED AN ORGANIZATION DEDICATED SOLELY TO ACHIEVING SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS IN OCEAN MANAGEMENT POLICIES THROUGH A SCIENCE-BASED APPROACH, USING CAREFULLY CHOSEN NATIONAL CAMPAIGNS WITH FIXED DEADLINES AND MEASURABLE GOALS. TODAY, OCEANA HAS GROWN FROM AN AMBITIOUS START-UP TO AN INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION WITH A RECORD OF RESULTS ON FOUR CONTINENTS. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES, WE HAVE WON NEARLY 200 SIGNIFICANT POLICY VICTORIES AND PROTECTED ALMOST 9.1 MILLION SQUARE KILOMETERS OF OCEANS. OCEANA SUPPORTS SCIENCE-DRIVEN OCEAN MANAGEMENT IN THE MOST PRODUCTIVE PARTS OF THE WORLD'S OCEANS, WITH TEAMS WORKING IN COUNTRIES WHICH CONTROL ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WORLD'S WILD OCEAN FISHERIES (BY WEIGHT): THE UNITED STATES, THE EUROPEAN UNION, THE UNITED KINGDOM, BELIZE, BRAZIL, CANADA, CHILE, MEXICO, PERU AND THE PHILIPPINES. OCEANA'S CAMPAIGNS CARRY OUT FOUR KEY STRATEGIES: -STOP OVERFISHING THROUGH SCIENCE-BASED FISHERY MANAGEMENT, AND BY DETERRING ILLEGAL FISHING; -REDUCE BYCATCH, OR THE UNINTENDED CATCH OF FISH AND MARINE ANIMALS; -PROTECT HABITAT AND THE ECOSYSTEMS THAT DEPEND ON THEIR HEALTH, AND -CURB POLLUTION, BY STOPPING THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING AND REDUCING THE PRODUCTION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS. OCEANA'S CAMPAIGNS HAVE DEMONSTRATED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE STRATEGIES FOR RESTORING OCEANS. WITH SOUND POLICIES IN PLACE, OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS RECOVER, OFTEN RAPIDLY, AND ABUNDANT FISHERIES RETURN, EVEN EXCEEDING FORMER LEVELS. A FULLY PRODUCTIVE OCEAN CAN PROVIDE A MEAL A DAY FOR A BILLION PEOPLE, FOREVER. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES, WE ARE SAVING THE OCEANS TO FEED THE WORLD. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | IN ADDITION, WE ARE WORKING TO DEVELOP AN EXPANDED MARKET FOR SUSTAINABLY CAUGHT FISH (WITHOUT GILLNETS) THROUGH EXPANSION OF THE FISH RIGHT, EAT RIGHT PROGRAM. OUR ONGOING WORK ON THIS INITIATIVE WILL HELP TO ENSURE THAT THE BAN WILL BE ENFORCEABLE. IN 2019, WE WERE SUCCESSFUL IN OUR APPLICATION FOR A PILOT PROJECT TO BE IMPLEMENTED IN SUPPORT OF FISH RIGHT EAT RIGHT. FUNDED BY THE INTER-AMERICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK, THE PILOT WILL NOT ONLY IDENTIFY THE BEST DIGITAL PLATFORM FOR FISHERS TO SELL SEAFOOD, IT WILL ESTABLISH THE FIRST BASELINE DATA ON HOW MUCH FINFISH AND OTHER SEAFOOD IS BEING CONSUMED NATIONALLY THROUGH THE DOMESTIC MARKET AND VIA THE TOURISM SECTOR. THIS DATA WILL PROVIDE INVALUABLE INSIGHT INTO SEAFOOD EXTRACTION. CURRENTLY, BELIZE ONLY RECORDS THE SEAFOOD BEING EXPORTED FROM BELIZE, AND EVEN THAT DATA HAS BEEN TRADITIONALLY LIMITED TO LOBSTER AND CONCH. SIMULTANEOUSLY, OUR WORK WITH THE BELIZE COAST GUARD CONTINUES TO DEMONSTRATE OUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT ALL LAWS REQUIRE ENFORCEMENT. OUR CONTRIBUTION OF A VESSEL TO THE COAST GUARD'S SEA GOING FLEET BOLSTERED THE ARGUMENT THAT THE COAST GUARD WILL HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO ENFORCE THE GILLNET BAN AND ENHANCED THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR OPERATIONS AGAINST ILLEGAL FISHING ACTIVITIES. REDUCE SINGLE USE PLASTICS DESPITE CONTINUED WORK ON THE LEGISLATION ON THE BAN OF SINGLE USE PLASTICS IN THE FOOD SECTOR, BELIZE FAILED TO MEET ITS SELF-IMPOSED DEADLINE OF APRIL 2019. OCEANA WAS FORCED TO STRONGLY OBJECT TO THE DRAFT LEGISLATION THAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE SUMMER OF 2019. THROUGH OUR ONGOING ROLE AS THE CO-CHAIR OF THE COMMUNICATIONS AND PUBLIC AWARENESS WORKING GROUP, WE CONTINUED TO INCREASE THE PUBLIC'S SUPPORT FOR THE BAN OF SINGLE USE, DISPOSABLE PLASTIC, AND STYROFOAM PRODUCTS WITHIN THE FOOD SECTOR. AT YEAREND, IT APPEARED THE GOVERNMENT WAS CLOSE TO TAKING ACTION. WE HAVE ALSO DETERMINED THAT MOVING FORWARD, WE WILL HAVE TO INCREASE OUR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE MINISTRY OF TRADE TO ENSURE THAT APPROPRIATE WORK IS BEING DONE TO ADJUST THE RELEVANT TARIFFS AND FEES TO ALLOW REASONABLE COSTS TO IMPORT/PRODUCE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FOOD CONTAINERS AND UTENSILS. WE THEREFORE CONTINUE TO WORK ON GETTING INCREASED PRIORITY FOR THE SINGLE USE BAN, BY CHAMPIONING THE FOOD VENDORS WHO ARE USING ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ALTERNATIVES AND PRACTICES AHEAD OF THE LEGAL CHANGES. BRAZIL DESPITE PRESIDENT BOLSONARO'S AGGRESSIVE ATTACK ON ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONS AND HIS EFFORT TO DISCREDIT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS THROUGHOUT BRAZIL, OCEANA WAS ABLE TO ACHIEVE PROGRESS IN BRAZIL DURING 2019. WE ARE A CREDIBLE AND IMPACTFUL VOICE FOR OCEAN CONSERVATION. BAN BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THE STATE OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL IN JULY 2019, THE FISHING INDUSTRY OF SANTA CATARINA STATE COMMENCED A STRONG POLITICAL EFFORT TO REPEAL LAW 15223/2018, WHICH BANNED BOTTOM TRAWLING WITHIN 12 MILES OFF THE COAST OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL. BACKED BY EXPLICIT SUPPORT FROM PRESIDENT BOLSONARO, THEY FILED A CHALLENGE CLAIMING THE LAW WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL IN THE FEDERAL SUPREME COURT. THE PLAINTIFFS ASKED FOR THE LAW TO BE SUSPENDED PENDING A FINAL DECISION REGARDING ITS CONSTITUTIONALITY. THIS WOULD HAVE ALLOWED BOTTOM TRAWLING TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY. THE INDUSTRY'S POLITICAL EFFORT PEAKED IN AUGUST WHEN STRONG ATTACKS WERE MADE DIRECTLY AGAINST OCEANA ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND IN PROTESTS IN BRASILIA. TO COUNTERACT THESE ATTEMPTS TO REPEAL THE LAW, OCEANA WORKED ON THREE SEPARATE FRONTS. FIRST, WE ORGANIZED A GROUP OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL FISHERS WHO VISITED 13 DEPUTIES AND 3 SENATORS FROM VARIOUS POLITICAL PARTIES WHO ALL EXPRESSED UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR THE LAW. DEPUTY HENRIQUE FONTANA (FROM RIO GRANDE DO SUL) MADE A SPEECH EXPLICITLY DEFENDING THE LAW IN ONE OF THE FEW TIMES IN HISTORY THAT FISHERIES AND FISHERIES MANAGEMENT WERE MENTIONED IN THE TRIBUNE OF THE CONGRESS. WE ALSO ORGANIZED A MEETING WITH SUPREME COURT JUSTICE CELSO DE MELLO WITH ARTISANAL AND INDUSTRIAL FISHERMEN FROM RIO GRANDE DO SUL AS WELL AS STATE DEPUTIES. IN THE SECOND FRONT, WE ORGANIZED THE RIO GRANDE DO SUL FISHING SECTOR, FOCUSING 30 ARTISANAL AND INDUSTRIAL FISHING LEADERS IN THAT STATE. THE GOAL FOR THIS GRASSROOTS EFFORT IS TO FORCE GOVERNOR EDUARDO LEITE TO PUBLISH A STATE DECREE ADDRESSING PARTS OF THE LAW THAT NEED SPECIFIC REGULATIONS SUCH AS THE STATE FUND FOR FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE. IN ADDITION, FISHERS AND EXPERTS WILL DEVELOP A FISHERY MONITORING PROGRAM FOR THE STATE SO AS TO DEMONSTRATE THAT RIO GRANDE DO SUL'S SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES POLICY IS NOT RESTRICTED TO THE BAN ON TRAWLING. THIS WILL STRENGTHEN OUR DEFENSE OF THE LAW AGAINST THE CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE. FINALLY, WE CONDUCTED TWO TECHNICAL STUDIES TO PROVIDE DIRECT SUPPORT TO THE RIO GRANDE DO SUL STATE GOVERNMENT IN DEFENDING THE BAN: THE FIRST STUDY CONSIDERS THE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF LOCAL LAW IN FURTHER DETAIL, WHILE THE SECOND STUDY BROADENS THE ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACTS CAUSED BY BOTTOM TRAWLING IN THE REGION. BOTH WILL BE USED BY ORGANIZATIONS THAT JOINED AS AMICUS CURIAE IN DEFENDING THE LAW IN THE SUPREME COURT. IMPLEMENTING CATCH LIMITS FOR COMMERCIAL FISHERIES OCEANA DID NOT GAIN ACCESS TO DATA FOR A DETAILED STOCK ASSESSMENT OF SNAPPER (LUTJANUS PURPUREUS). TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM, WE ESTIMATED TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCH (TAC) USING DATA-LIMITED METHODS, WITH VERY SATISFACTORY RESULTS. ACCORDING TO OUR ASSESSMENT, ANNUAL CATCH LIMITS SHOULDN'T EXCEED 4,500 MT. THIS IS BELOW THE HISTORICAL CATCHES THAT HAVE REMAINED STABLE VARYING BETWEEN 5,000-6,000 MT. WITH THE TERMINATION OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCILS (FMCS), THESE STUDIES WILL BE VALIDATED IN TWO WAYS: IN A WORKSHOP WITH EXPERTS AND BY PUBLISHING AN ARTICLE IN A SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL. IN THE CASE OF LOBSTER (PANULIRUS ARGUS AND P. LAEVICAUDA), WE COMPLETED TWO FULL STOCK ASSESSMENTS. OUR FOCUS HAS BEEN TO SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OF A QUOTA PROPOSAL THAT WAS ALREADY UNDER DISCUSSION BUT FACING SOME RESISTANCE FROM ARTISANAL FISHERS. TO OVERCOME THIS RESISTANCE, OCEANA HELD THREE MEETINGS WITH ABOUT 100 LEADERS OF TRADITIONAL FISHING COMMUNITIES FROM NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL TO EXPLAIN HOW QUOTA MANAGEMENT WORKS AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN REBUILDING LOBSTER STOCKS. TO DATE, FISHERMEN SEEM INCLINED TO SUPPORT OCEANA'S PROPOSAL. FOR SARDINES, THE THIRD STOCK STUDIED BY OCEANA, WE HAVE ALSO BASED OUR ASSESSMENT ON DATA-LIMITED METHODS. THESE DATA-LIMITED MODELS HAVE PRODUCED INCONSISTENT AND HIGHLY VARIABLE TAC VALUES DUE TO THE VARIABILITY OF SARDINE CATCH. CURRENTLY THE SARDINE CATCH IS AT ITS LOWEST HISTORICAL LEVEL, DRIVEN BY OVERCAPACITY IN THE PURSE SEINE FLEET. WE WILL WORK IN 2020 TO FURTHER DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM AND PROPOSE A PLAN FOR MANAGING THE PURSE SEINE FLEET. TRANSPARENCY AND SCIENCE-BASED DECISIONS ON FISHERIES THE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCILS IN BRAZIL WERE TERMINATED ON JUNE 28, 2019. ALTHOUGH THE FISHERIES SECRETARIAT COMMITTED TO REINSTATING THEM, IT DID NOT, AND DECISION-MAKING OCCURRED AGAIN WITHOUT CIVIL SOCIETY PARTICIPATION. THIS UNDID OUR EARLIER SUCCESS, WHICH INCLUDED PERSUADING THE FISHERIES SECRETARIAT TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY IN ITS DECISIONS BY PUBLISHING ALL MINUTES OF PELAGIC FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCIL MEETINGS ON ITS WEBSITE. THE SAME SECRETARIAT, THROUGH OCEANA'S COMMUNICATION CHANNELS, STREAMED SOME FMC MEETINGS LIVE, AND THE GOVERNMENT FORMALLY COMMITTED TO ADOPTING THE PRACTICE FOR ALL OTHER MEETINGS. IMPROVING FISHERIES MONITORING AS A RESULT OF OUR CAMPAIGNING TO PUSH THE FISHING SECTOR AND OTHERS TO FORMALLY REQUEST ONLINE LOGBOOKS, THE GOVERNMENT FORMALLY COMMITTED TO CREATING AND IMPLEMENTING IN THE NEAR FUTURE A SYSTEM FOR ABOUT 3,500 FISHING VESSELS OF THE BRAZILIAN FLEET. CURRENTLY, PAPER-BASED SYSTEMS ARE BEING USED, WHICH LIMIT THE AVAILABILITY OF DATA FOR SCIENCE-BASED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT. OCEANA IS SEEKING TO MODERNIZE THE TOOL THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM. WE FIRST PERSUADED THE BRAZILIAN SOCIETY OF ICHTHYOLOGY TO FORMALLY RECOMMEND TO THE GOVERNMENT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN ELECTRONIC TOOL. WE ALSO GENERATED SUPPORT FROM IMPORTANT ARTISANAL AND INDUSTRIAL FISHING SYNDICATES AND ASSOCIATIONS THAT SENT SUPPORTIVE LETTERS TO THE GOVERNMENT AND WE GOT THE TUNA FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCIL TO ACCEPT OUR PROPOSAL TO ESTABLISH ONLINE LOGBOOKS FOR THE ENTIRE TUNA FISHING FLEET. THESE STEPS ENCOURAGED THE GOVERNMENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH USING AN ELECTRONIC SYSTEM, BASED ON OUR TAINHOMETER FROM 2018, TO MONITOR THE MULLET INDUSTRIAL FLEET IN 2019. A FINAL INDICATION OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT WAS THE INCLUSION OF A NEW FULLY COMPUTERIZED LOGBOOK SYSTEM IN THE GOALS OF THE SECRETARIAT OF FISHERIES FOR THE YEAR AHEAD. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | PROTECT ABROLHOS CORAL REEF BANK FROM OIL DRILLING ABROLHOS IS A LARGE CORAL REEF BANK LOCATED IN SOUTHERN BAHIA, NORTHEAST REGION OF BRAZIL. IT IS AN AREA OF GREAT ECOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE, HOSTING THE LARGEST MARINE BIODIVERSITY IN SOUTH ATLANTIC AND SEVERAL ENDEMIC SPECIES. IT IS ALSO IMPORTANT AS A BREEDING GROUND FOR HUMPBACK WHALES THAT ARE SEEN IN THE REGION EVERY YEAR. TOURISM AND FISHERIES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE ECONOMY FOR THE SMALL SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES. IN APRIL, THE PRESIDENT OF THE BRAZILIAN INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENT AND RENEWABLE NATURAL RESOURCES (IBAMA) AUTHORIZED THE AUCTIONING OF SEVEN BLOCKS TO EXPLOIT IN THE CAMAMU-ALMADA AND JACUPE BASINS, BOTH DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO ABROLHOS MARINE PARK. THIS DECISION WAS CONTRARY TO RECOMMENDATIONS FROM HIS OWN TECHNICAL STAFF. IN RESPONSE, OCEANA AND OUR PARTNER NGOS CREATED THE "ABROLHOS CONNECTION", A COALITION WHOSE MISSION WAS TO PREVENT SALE OF THESE BLOCKS. WITH THESE ALLIES, WE MOUNTED A COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN WARNING OF THE IMPACTS OF A POSSIBLE OIL SPILL NEAR THIS SANCTUARY. POLITICIANS, CELEBRITIES, AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC GOT OUR MESSAGE. ACTIONS TO CONVINCE THE WORLD'S LARGEST OIL COMPANIES TO PREVENT AN ECOLOGICAL DISASTER INCLUDED A PETITION WITH MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION SIGNATURES DELIVERED TO THE BRAZILIAN CONGRESS. IN SEPTEMBER, STATE AND FEDERAL PROSECUTORS FILED A PUBLIC CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST THE LEASING PROCESS. THE COURT DECIDED THAT THESE BLOCKS COULD BE AUCTIONED BUT THAT OPERATING LICENSES FOR DRILLING SHOULD NOT BE GRANTED WITHOUT AN EXTENSIVE AND CONCLUSIVE TECHNICAL STUDY. AS A RESULT OF THIS PUBLIC REACTION AND THE COURT CASE, NO COMPANY BID FOR THE SEVEN BLOCKS OF THE CAMAMU-ALMADA AND JACUPE BASINS IN THE AUCTION, WHICH INCLUDE MORE THAN 8,800 KM2 OF CORAL REEFS. OCEANA CANADA IN 2019, OCEANA INC. PROVIDED CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTIONS AND IN-KIND SUPPORT TO OCEANA CANADA, AN INDEPENDENT NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION INCORPORATED UNDER CANADIAN LAW. WITH OUR SUPPORT, OCEANA CANADA ACHIEVED THE FOLLOWING VICTORIES: REFORM CANADA'S FISHERIES ACT A MODERNIZED FISHERIES ACT (BILL C-68) BECAME LAW IN JUNE 2019. DUE TO OCEANA'S CAMPAIGNING, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE ACT'S HISTORY, THE MINISTER OF FISHERIES IS REQUIRED TO CREATE REBUILDING PLANS FOR DEPLETED FISH POPULATIONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE GOVERNMENT HAS COMMITTED MORE THAN $100 MILLION OVER FIVE YEARS TO ASSESS AND REBUILD FISH STOCKS. THIS BRINGS CANADA INTO THE GROUP OF NATIONS WITH MODERN FISHERIES LAWS AND SHOULD LEAD TO AN HISTORIC TURNING POINT IN THE HEALTH OF CANADIAN FISHERIES. THE INTENT OF THE NEW LAW IS CLEAR. NOW WE MUST ENSURE THAT REGULATIONS DRAFTED TO SUPPORT THE LAW MAINTAIN THE SAME LEVEL OF AMBITION. THESE REGULATIONS ARE UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND EXPECTED TO BE RELEASED FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION IN EARLY 2020. OCEANA HAS PROVIDED RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE NEW REGULATIONS AND WILL ADVOCATE THAT THEY MUST INCLUDE ABUNDANCE TARGETS AND TIMELINES FOR REBUILDING TO BE SUCCESSFUL. OCEANA SUCCESSFULLY SECURED A BAN ON THE IMPORT AND EXPORT OF SHARK FINS IN THE FISHERIES ACT MAKING CANADA THE FIRST COUNTRY IN THE G20 TO INCLUDE SUCH A BAN WHICH CAME INTO EFFECT ON JUNE 21, 2019. REBUILD CANADA'S FISHERIES OCEANA WAS SUCCESSFUL IN SECURING ELECTION PLATFORM COMMITMENTS TO REBUILD CANADA'S FISHERIES IN THE LIBERAL, NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND CONSERVATIVE PARTY PLATFORMS. THE LEGISLATIVE AND REGULATORY FRAMEWORK NEEDED TO ESTABLISH THE PRACTICE OF REBUILDING PLANS IS ALMOST IN PLACE. THE CREATION OF REBUILDING PLANS IS MANDATED IN LAW, THE GOVERNMENT HAS COMMITTED SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL RESOURCES (OVER $100 MILLION CAD) TO REBUILDING AND STOCK ASSESSMENT, A PROGRESSIVE POLICY FRAMEWORK EXISTS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF REBUILDING REGULATIONS IS UNDERWAY. HOWEVER, PROGRESS ON DRAFTING AND IMPLEMENTING REBUILDING PLANS REMAINS SLOW. AS OF NOVEMBER, THE GOVERNMENT RELEASED FOUR REBUILDING PLANS IN 2019. THE REBUILDING PLAN FOR NORTHERN COD HAS BEEN DELAYED ONCE AGAIN. ADDITIONALLY, THE QUALITY OF THESE PLANS DOES NOT MEET INTERNATIONALLY ACCEPTED BEST PRACTICES. OUR STRATEGY IS TO KEEP POLITICAL PRESSURE ON THE DEPARTMENT THROUGH THE MINISTER'S OFFICE (INCLUDING PRESSURE FROM OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES). IN NOVEMBER OCEANA RELEASED THE THIRD ANNUAL FISHERY AUDIT ASSESSING THE CURRENT STATE OF CANADA'S FISHERIES, MEASURING PROGRESS OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW THE DFO CAN RESTORE ABUNDANCE TO CANADA'S OCEANS. UNFORTUNATELY, IN 2019 THE PERCENTAGE OF HEALTHY ZONE MARINE FISH STOCKS DROPPED TO 29.4 PERCENT (FROM 34 PERCENT LAST YEAR (57 RATHER THAN 66 OUT OF 194 STOCKS)) AND THE NUMBER OF STOCKS IN THE CRITICAL ZONE HAS INCREASED TO 17 PERCENT (FROM 13.3 PERCENT LAST YEAR (33 RATHER THAN 26 STOCKS)). PROTECTING OCEAN HABITAT IN CANADA THROUGH THE EFFORTS OF OCEANA AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, AS THE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT ALMOST 14 PERCENT OF CANADA'S OCEANS ARE NOW PROTECTED THROUGH MPAS (OR INTERIM MEASURES). IN ADDITION, THE NEWLY ELECTED GOVERNMENT HAS MADE A COMMITMENT TO PROTECT 25 PERCENT OF CANADA'S OCEANS BY 2025. THE GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED THAT DRAFT REGULATIONS FOR THE 140,000 KM2 PACIFIC OFFSHORE MPA WILL BE COMPLETE IN SPRING 2020. WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH DFO, FIRST NATIONS, ACADEMIA, INDUSTRY, AND NGOS TO ENSURE REGULATIONS ARE COMPLETED IN 2020, WITH SUFFICIENT PROTECTION STANDARDS. IN AUGUST 2019, OCEANA CANADA AND THE NUNATSIAVUT GOVERNMENT (CANADA'S ONLY SELF-DETERMINED REGIONAL INUIT GOVERNMENT) COMPLETED A JOINT EXPEDITION TO EXPLORE THE CULTURALLY AND ECOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT COASTAL HABITATS OF NUNATSIAVUT (NORTHERN LABRADOR) AND GATHER RELEVANT DATA TO INFORM THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN INDIGENOUS PROTECTED AREA (IPA) AS PART OF THE IMAPPIVUT (INUIT FOR "OUR OCEANS") INITIATIVE. THE REGION IS A VERY PRODUCTIVE AREA WITH IMPORTANT SOFT CORALS, TUBE DWELLING ANEMONES AND SEA LILIES. THE STUDY SITES ARE SIGNIFICANT TO THE LABRADOR INUIT AS IMPORTANT SITES FOR TRADITIONAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL GATHERING AREAS THAT HOLD PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY VALUE FOR FOOD SECURITY, CULTURE, AND SPIRITUAL PRACTICES. STOP SEAFOOD FRAUD IN CANADA DUE TO A NEWLY ELECTED LIBERAL MINORITY GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED BY THE NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY WE ARE OPTIMISTIC THAT, FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE CAN MAKE PROGRESS IN SECURING BOAT-TO-PLATE TRACEABILITY IN CANADA THROUGH THE CREATION OF A MULTI-DEPARTMENT TASK FORCE IN 2020. HOWEVER, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT A FULL BOAT-TO-PLATE TRACEABILITY SCHEME WILL BE IN PLACE BY THE END OF THE YEAR AS THAT WILL NEED ADDITIONAL TIME TO BE APPROVED BY THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE, GAIN BUDGET AND CABINET APPROVALS AND SECURE ANY NECESSARY CHANGES TO LEGISLATION OR REGULATIONS. PROTECT NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES IN SEPTEMBER 2019 OCEANA RELEASED A BINATIONAL REPORT ON RIGHT WHALES IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS A CANADA-SPECIFIC REPORT, AND FOLLOWED UP WITH MEETINGS WITH SENIOR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. OUR MEDIA OUTREACH RESULTED IN 269 CANADIAN MEDIA HITS AND SIGNIFICANT SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT. IN SPRING 2019, THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED FISHERIES CLOSURES AND VESSEL SPEED RESTRICTION ZONES TO PROTECT RIGHT WHALES. IN SUMMER 2019, NINE NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES WERE FOUND DEAD IN CANADIAN WATERS INDICATING THAT STRONGER PROTECTION MEASURES ARE NEEDED IN THE GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE. WE ARE ADVOCATING FOR EXPANDED MEASURES IN 2020 INCLUDING EXPANDING THE SPEED RESTRICTION ZONES TO THE EASTERN GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE (CABOT STRAIT), THROUGH DIRECT MEETINGS WITH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, COORDINATING NGO GROUPS, AND OUTREACH TO FISHING AND SHIPPING INDUSTRY GROUPS. WE ARE WORKING WITH GLOBAL FISHING WATCH, UTILIZING DATA FROM THE NEW "VESSEL TRACKER" PLATFORM TO BUILD THE CASE FOR AN EXPANDED SPEED RESTRICTION ZONE. CHILE CHILE'S STABILITY HAS BEEN RATTLED BY PROTESTS ORIGINALLY SPARKED BY GRIEVANCES OVER LIVING COSTS AND ECONOMIC INEQUALITY. IN WEEKS OF DEMONSTRATIONS, THERE HAVE BEEN OUTBREAKS OF LOOTING AND ARSON. AS OF THIS WRITING MORE THAN 7,000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DETAINED AND 20 PEOPLE KILLED. CHILE IS ONE OF LATIN AMERICA'S WEALTHIEST COUNTRIES BUT ALSO ONE OF ITS MOST UNEQUAL, WITH THE WORST LEVELS OF INCOME EQUALITY AMONG THE 36 MEMBER NATIONS OF THE ORGANIZATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT (OECD). WITH RESPECT TO THE GENERAL ISSUE OF INEQUALITY IN CHILE, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT IN MANY OF OCEANA'S CAMPAIGNS, OUR CHIEF ALLIES HAVE BEEN LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND ARTISANAL FISHERS, AND THAT THE RESULTS OF OUR FISHERIES, HABITAT, AND POLLUTION CAMPAIGNS HAVE SERVED TO PROTECT THEIR LIVELIHOODS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | FISH RECOVERY AND SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT IN OCTOBER 2019 THE EU FISHERIES MINISTERS REACHED AN AGREEMENT ON THE 2020 FISHING LIMITS FOR FISH STOCKS IN THE BALTIC SEA. OUR OVERALL ASSESSMENT OF THE DECISION REGARDING FISH STOCKS IN THE BALTIC SEA IS VERY POSITIVE AS THE MINISTERS EXCEEDED THE SCIENTIFIC ADVICE FOR ONLY TWO OUT OF TEN FISH STOCKS, (WHILE IN OCTOBER 2014 SCIENTIFIC ADVICE WAS EXCEEDED FOR SIX OUT OF EIGHT FISH STOCKS). IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE EUROPEAN UNION ADOPTED A MULTIANNUAL MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE NORTH WESTERN WATERS - ONE OF THE KEY FISHING GROUNDS IN EUROPE. THE MANAGEMENT PLAN CONTAINS THE CLEAR OBJECTIVE TO EXPLOIT TARGET FISH STOCKS AT MSY. THE PLAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE AMBITIOUS WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN CONSERVATION MEASURES, SUCH AS EXPLOITATION TARGETS FOR BYCATCH STOCKS AND THE PROTECTION OF ESSENTIAL FISH HABITATS (WHICH WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE FINAL TEXT). SPATIAL/TEMPORAL RESTRICTIONS ON BOTTOM TRAWLING HAVE BEEN ADOPTED DURING 2019 IN THE MEDITERRANEAN THAT CORRESPOND TO A TOTAL AREA OF MORE THAN 94,000 SQUARE KILOMETERS. THESE RESTRICTIONS WERE APPROVED UNDER THE WESTERN MEDITERRANEAN MULTIANNUAL PLAN (ADOPTED IN APRIL 2019) AND COVERED IN SEPARATE DECISIONS BY THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN. THEY PROTECT ESSENTIAL FISH HABITATS. HABITAT CAMPAIGN ONE YEAR BEFORE THE DEADLINE, THE EU HAS ACHIEVED THE TARGET OF DECLARING MORE THAN 10 PERCENT OF THE MARINE AND COASTAL WATERS PROTECTED (MPAS). OFFICIAL FIGURES INDICATE THAT MORE THAN 12 PERCENT OF EU WATERS ARE NOW DESIGNATED AS MPAS. THIS ACHIEVEMENT HAS BEEN MADE PRIMARILY THROUGH THE DESIGNATION OF SITES WITHIN NATURA 2000 (THE EU COORDINATED NETWORK OF PROTECTED AREAS). OCEANA HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN RAISING THE IMPORTANCE OF MPAS ON THE EU AGENDA, IN ADVOCATING FOR THE ORIGINAL 10 PERCENT TARGET TO APPLY TO ALL EU WATERS (AND NOT ONLY THE ATLANTIC, AS ORIGINALLY PROPOSED BY THE EU), IN GATHERING AND PROVIDING DATA THAT HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROTECTION OF SITES, AND IN LOBBYING EU MEMBER STATES TO PROTECT AREAS OF HIGH ECOLOGICAL VALUE. SUCH SITES HAVE INCLUDED EXTENSIVE AREAS THAT ARE NOW DESIGNATED NATURA 2000 AREAS IN MALTA (2252 KM2), PORTUGAL (22,880 KM2) AND SPAIN (44,474 KM2). IN FEBRUARY, SPAIN EXPANDED CABRERA NATIONAL PARK TO MAKE IT THE SECOND-LARGEST MARINE NATIONAL PARK IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. OCEANA HAD BEEN WORKING TO EXPAND THE PARK SINCE 2007. IN 2013, OCEANA JOINED CABRERA'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND IN 2017, ACHIEVED AN UNPRECEDENTED PARLIAMENTARY CONSENSUS IN SPAIN: ALMOST ALL THE POLITICAL PARTIES IN THE SPANISH CONGRESS AND ALL OF THOSE IN THE SENATE SUPPORTED THE EXPANSION OF THE PARK. THE PARK, LOCATED SOUTH OF MALLORCA, WILL PROVIDE THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF LEGAL PROTECTION FOR THREATENED MARINE LIFE. OCEANA HAS ALSO PROVIDED ITS DETAILED DATA FROM RESEARCH EXPEDITIONS TO THE NATIONAL PARKS AUTONOMOUS AGENCY, WHICH WILL USE THE INFORMATION TO DEVELOP MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR THE PARK. THE UK GOVERNMENT DESIGNATED 41 NEW MARINE CONSERVATION ZONES (MCZS) EARLIER THIS YEAR. THIS MEANS THAT THE UK HAS SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETED ITS ECOLOGICALLY COHERENT NETWORK OF MARINE PROTECTED AREAS, WITH 355 MPAS AMOUNTING TO OVER 30 PERCENT OF UK SEAS NOW DESIGNATED AS MPAS. DURING THE 2018 PUBLIC CONSULTATION PROCESS ON THE POTENTIAL DESIGNATION OF NEW MCZS, OCEANA FORMALLY PRESENTED A DETAILED RESPONSE THAT INCLUDED OCEANA DATA AND SUPPORTING PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE FROM TWO AREAS SURVEYED DURING THE NORTH SEA EXPEDITIONS. USING THIS DATA, WE ARGUED IN FAVOR OF THE DESIGNATION OF THE SITES, AND OF THE EXPANSION OF THEIR BOUNDARIES TO INCLUDE FEATURES OF CONSERVATION IMPORTANCE IN ADJACENT WATERS. BOTH SITES HAVE NOW BEEN DESIGNATED. THE UK GOVERNMENT IS NOW ALSO UNDERTAKING A REVIEW OF HIGHLY PROTECTED MARINE AREAS AND IS CURRENTLY HOLDING A PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON THE NEED FOR THESE TO BECOME STRICTLY PROTECTED SITES. OCEANA IS RESPONDING TO THE CONSULTATION AND ENGAGING WITH BOTH CIVIL SERVANTS AND MEMBERS OF THE REVIEW PANEL, TO ADVOCATE FOR THE NEED FOR STRICTER PROTECTION, INCLUDING MORE EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF EXISTING UK MPAS. THIS WILL BE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF OUR FUTURE CAMPAIGN FOR BUILDING EFFECTIVENESS OF THE MPA NETWORK IN EUROPE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | MEXICO TRANSPARENCY THANKS TO OCEANA, ANYONE WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION CAN NOW, FOR THE FIRST TIME, ACCESS THE HISTORICAL VMS DATA OF OVER 2,000 VESSELS. PREVIOUSLY ONLY 34 VESSELS WERE PUBLICLY VISIBLE. HOWEVER, THE GOVERNMENT REFUSED TO ANNOUNCE ITS COMMITMENT TO REGULARLY RELEASE THE DATA TO GLOBAL FISHING WATCH AND SO TO GET THIS, WE WILL CONTINUE TO CAMPAIGN UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT IS FULLY COMMITTED TO SHARING THE DATA. SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY OUR WORK ON SEAFOOD FRAUD OVER THE PAST YEAR HAS MADE THIS ISSUE VISIBLE TO THE PUBLIC. THE ACTIONS AND STATEMENTS OF GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS PROVE IT IS NOW CLEARLY PART OF THE PUBLIC AGENDA. ON MARCH 12, WE LAUNCHED OUR FIRST SEAFOOD FRAUD REPORT, CALLED "GATO X LIEBRE", DURING AN EVENT WHICH REMAINS, TO THIS DAY, OUR MOST PUBLICIZED MOMENT. IN THE DAYS AND WEEKS FOLLOWING THIS LAUNCH THERE WERE NUMEROUS STORIES ON PRINT, TV AND RADIO NEWS SOURCES, AS WELL AS A LOT OF INTEREST ON SOCIAL MEDIA. A SINGLE VIDEO NEWS STORY OF OUR CAMPAIGN BY ONLINE NEWS SITE BRUT, HAS OVER 3.9 MILLION VIEWS ON FACEBOOK AS OF THE WRITING OF THIS NARRATIVE. THE GOVERNMENT WENT ON THE RECORD SHORTLY AFTER THE LAUNCH. ON MAY 6, CONAPESCA PUBLISHED AN OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE, ON THEIR WEBSITE, COMMITTING TO IMPROVING TRACEABILITY. FURTHER, IN AN OFFICIAL DOCUMENT CALLED THE NATIONAL NORMS AND STANDARDS PROGRAM, THE GOVERNMENT COMMITTED TO PUBLISHING A NORM ON TRACEABILITY. THE FISHERIES AGENCY, CONAPESCA, FOLLOWED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THAT WITH A REAFFIRMATION OF THIS COMMITMENT IN THE SHAPE OF A PRESS RELEASE ON THEIR WEBSITE. WE HAVE BEEN ASKED TO BE A PART OF THIS WORKING GROUP WHICH WILL GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO BRING MEANINGFUL TRACEABILITY MEASURES INTO THE DISCUSSION. HOWEVER, THE TRACEABILITY REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT YET IN PLACE. TO THAT END WE HAVE PREPARED BRIEFING MATERIALS FOR KEY OFFICIALS DEFINING THE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR A GOOD POLICY. WE ALSO HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF THE FISHING INDUSTRY AND PROCESSORS WHO STAND WITH US ON OUR PROPOSAL. TOGETHER, WE URGED THE GOVERNMENT TO USE THE RESOURCES AND COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF THE FISHERIES COMMUNITY TO PUT TOGETHER THE BEST POSSIBLE TRACEABILITY RULES. WE CONTINUE TO BUILD ALLIANCES WITHIN THE FISHING INDUSTRY ON THIS ISSUE AND CONTINUE TO PRESSURE CONAPESCA TO DELIVER A MEANINGFUL TRACEABILITY RULE BY 2020. FISHERIES REBUILDING WE LAUNCHED THIS CAMPAIGN ON JUNE 11, WITH THE RELEASE OF OUR FISHERIES AUDIT, WHICH WE CALLED "FISHING BLIND". A FEW DAYS BEFORE THAT, ON JUNE 5, WE WERE INVITED TO PRESENT THE SAME INFORMATION TO THE FISHERIES COMMITTEE OF THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. AFTER THIS SESSION, THE COMMITTEE CHAIR, DEPUTY MAXIMILIANO RUIZ, GAVE INTERVIEWS TO SEVERAL MEDIA OUTLETS WHERE HE TALKED ABOUT THE DIRE FUTURE OF THE FISHERIES SECTOR, USING SOME OF OUR TALKING POINTS. OUR MESSAGES WERE ALIGNED. IN OUR AUDIT, WE UNDERSCORED HOW LITTLE PUBLIC INFORMATION EXISTS TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT'S ASSESSMENTS OF THE STATUS OF COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT FISH SPECIES IN MEXICO. THE MAIN CONCLUSION OF OUR AUDIT WAS THAT WE KNOW A LOT LESS THAN WE THINK WE KNOW ABOUT THE STATUS OF FISHERIES IN MEXICO, AND THAT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS QUITE TROUBLING. WE WERE POSITIVELY SURPRISED BY THE AMOUNT OF MEDIA ATTENTION THAT THE FISHERIES AUDIT GOT. DESPITE BEING VERY TECHNICAL, IT WAS VERY APPEALING TO THE PUBLIC. WE USED THE LAUNCH OF THE AUDIT TO QUICKLY PIVOT THE CONVERSATION TO THE CONCEPT OF REBUILDING, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL A FAMILIAR CONCEPT IN THE WORLD OF FISHERIES IN MEXICO. THIS IS ONE OF OUR MAIN, ONGOING TACTICS FOR OUR CAMPAIGN: CREATE A NARRATIVE ON THE NEED TO REBUILD FISHERIES. AS WITH THE SEAFOOD FRAUD STUDY, THE FISHERIES AUDIT WAS INTENDED TO BUILD THE SPACE FOR OUR POLICY SOLUTION, SO, DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE YEAR, WE ALSO WORKED ON PUTTING TOGETHER THIS POLICY SOLUTION. WE DID THIS IN THE SHAPE OF A LEGAL REFORM PROPOSAL THAT SPELLS OUT WHAT CHANGES ARE NEEDED TO WHICH ARTICLES IN THE FISHERIES LAW. THE FOCUS OF THE PROPOSAL IS ALSO THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS CAMPAIGN: TO GIVE CONAPESCA THE LEGAL MANDATE TO REBUILD FISHERIES THAT HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY RECOGNIZED AS OVERFISHED. IN 2020, WE WILL SOLIDIFY OUR PROGRESS AND TAKE CONCRETE STEPS TOWARDS PASSING OUR LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS. PERU HABITAT PROTECTION TO ACHIEVE THE DESIGNATION OF NAZCA RIDGE AS THE FIRST STRICTLY MARINE PROTECTED AREA IN PERU, WE ASSEMBLED A SPECIAL TASK FORCE TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT AND WORKED WITH THE AGENCIES INVOLVED TO BUILD A COMMON AGENDA FOR THE DESIGNATION OF THE MPA. OUR COMMUNICATION WORK THROUGH THE YEAR WAS CRITICAL FOR THE PRESENTATION OF THE NAZCA RIDGE PROPOSAL IN THE RECENT III LATIN-AMERICAN & CARIBBEAN PARKS CONGRESS IN LIMA. AT THIS EVENT, MINISTER OF THE ENVIRONMENT, FABIOLA MUOZ, COMMITTED PUBLICLY TO THE CREATION OF THE MPA BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | PLASTIC POLLUTION LAST DECEMBER, OCEANA AND OUR ALLIES IN PERU WON PASSAGE OF A NEW PLASTIC REDUCTION LAW WHICH REGULATES BOTH THE USE AND PRODUCTION OF DISPOSABLES, INCLUDING PLASTIC BAGS, STRAWS, EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE PACKAGES, AND PLASTIC TABLEWARE. THIS LAW SETS REAL DEADLINES, FROM 1 TO 3 YEARS, TO LIMIT THE MANUFACTURE FOR DOMESTIC USE, IMPORT, DISTRIBUTION, DELIVERY, TRADING AND USE OF DISPOSABLE PLASTICS. OCEANA WAS INSTRUMENTAL IN DRAFTING THE LEGISLATION AND ACTIVELY ADVOCATED FOR ITS QUICK PASSAGE. ALSO, LAST AUGUST THE REGULATIONS FOR THIS LAW WERE ISSUED. THIS LEGAL INSTRUMENT, WHILE FAR FROM PERFECT, OUTLINES A NUMBER OF COMPLEMENTARY MEASURES REQUIRED FOR BETTER CONTROL AND REDUCTION OF SINGLE USE PLASTICS. OCEANA'S COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGN PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE CONSULTATION PROCESS BY PROMOTING A NUMBER OF OPEN DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE SUBJECT IN SOCIAL MEDIA. DESPITE ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THE LAW, PAMOLSA, THE LARGEST PLASTIC FOOD CONTAINER PRODUCER, IS MOVING TOWARDS ELIMINATION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTIC BY IMPLEMENTING NEW PRODUCTION LINES OF CARDBOARD AND VEGETABLE FIBER CONTAINERS. SEVERAL OTHER LOCAL PLASTIC PRODUCERS AND DISTRIBUTORS ARE ALSO STARTING TO TAKE ACTION TO REPLACE SINGLE USE PLASTICS BY THE DEADLINE OF DECEMBER 2021 ESTABLISHED BY THE PLASTICS LAW. WE HAVE COMMISSIONED A SHORT CONSULTANCY TO ASSESS THE RELIABILITY OF THESE COMMITMENTS AND THE STATE OF IMPLEMENTATION IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. THE RESULTS OF THIS ANALYSIS WILL BE USED IN FUTURE COMMUNICATION CAMPAIGNS FOCUSED ON PUBLIC SURVEILLANCE AND REPORTING. THE PLASTICS LAW PROHIBITS PRODUCTION (FOR NATIONAL USE), IMPORT, DISTRIBUTION, AND SALE OF STYROFOAM (EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE) BY DECEMBER 2021. EVEN SO, MOST OF THE MAIN FAST FOOD CHAINS (BURGERS, ROTISSERIE CHICKEN AND PIZZA) IN PERU HAVE ALREADY MOVED ON TO USING CARDBOARD FOR THEIR TAKE-AWAY CONTAINERS. ALSO ALL THE RESTAURANTS OF THE GASTON ACURIO CORPORATION HAVE STOPPED USING STYROFOAM. DETER ILLEGAL FISHING THE FISHERIES AGENCY, PRODUCE, HAS PUT ON HOLD THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE OF CITES-RESTRICTED SPECIES UNTIL THEY HAVE EFFECTIVELY OVERHAULED THEIR OFFICE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING CITES PERMITS AND CERTIFICATIONS. THIS ACTION WAS TAKEN AFTER THE INTERCEPTION OF SEVERAL SHIPMENTS CONTAINING TENS OF TONS OF ILLEGAL SHARK FINS. THE AGENCY ALSO REMOVED AND IS INVESTIGATING OFFICERS SUSPECTED TO BE INVOLVED IN CORRUPTION AROUND CITES PERMITS. OCEANA PROVIDED TRAINING TO OFFICERS AT CUSTOMS, PRODUCE, THE MARINE RESEARCH INSTITUTE (IMARPE) AND THE MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT (MINAM), AND PRODUCED AND DISSEMINATED A STATE-OF-THE-ART IDENTIFICATION GUIDE FOR SHARK FINS AS PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN. ADDITIONALLY, OCEANA'S ADVICE AND SUPPORT TO THE PERU DELEGATION PARTICIPATING AT THE RECENT CITES COP18 IN SWITZERLAND RESULTED IN THE ADOPTION OF ADDITIONAL NECESSARY MEASURES TO THWART THE ILLEGAL TRADE OF SHARKS. THE NEW MEASURES WILL AFFECT THE GLOBAL SHARK TRADE, REQUIRING COUNTRIES TO REPORT THE CURRENT EXTENT OF STOCKPILED SHARK PRODUCTS FOR CITES-LISTED SPECIES, ELIMINATING A LOOPHOLE IN THE CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS THE RESULT OF A TWO-YEAR-LONG COLLABORATION BETWEEN OCEANA AND THE PERUVIAN CITES AUTHORITIES AND WAS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF AN INTERNATIONAL COALITION OF NGOS WORKING WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE GOVERNMENTS. PHILIPPINES PROTECT SARDINES/ESTABLISH NATIONAL RULES ON FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES (BFAR) THIS YEAR ESTABLISHED TWELVE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS CO-MANAGED BY LOCAL AND NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND STAKEHOLDERS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY. THIS SYSTEM, SIMILAR TO FISHERIES MANAGEMENT COUNCILS IN THE US AND OTHER COUNTRIES, PROMISES TO PROVIDE MORE TRANSPARENT AND COORDINATED DECISION-MAKING ON FISHERIES. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW SYSTEM, WE ARE WORKING IN SEVERAL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS IN THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OF SARDINES, THE LARGEST CATCH BY WEIGHT IN THE PHILIPPINES. THE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS WERE ESTABLISHED IN RESPONSE TO OCEANA'S LAWSUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT OF THE KEY NATIONAL FISHERY LAW. NEVERTHELESS, OUR LAWSUIT CONTINUES BECAUSE THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES HAS NOT FULLY COMPLIED WITH THE LAW BY REQUIRING COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS TO CARRY VESSEL TRACKING DEVICES. WE ARE ON TRACK WITH OUR SARDINES-SPECIFIC CAMPAIGN GOAL, WHICH IS TO GET BFAR TO PROMULGATE RULES AND REGULATIONS ENSURING SUSTAINABLE CATCHES OF SARDINES BY 2020. INITIAL REFERENCE POINTS AND HARVEST CONTROL RULES AND MEASURES WERE IDENTIFIED IN FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREA 7. THESE WILL BE VALIDATED THROUGH A SARDINE FISHERIES STUDY AND THE TO-BE-FORMED SCIENCE ADVISORY GROUP. WE HAVE SUCCEEDED IN GETTING A NATIONAL SARDINE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN THROUGH THE PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS PROCESS. THE NEXT STEPS ARE APPROVAL BY THE NATIONAL FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES MANAGEMENT COUNCIL AND THEN THE AGRICULTURE SECRETARY FOR HIS SIGNATURE. WE HAVE PUT PRESSURE ON THE FISHERIES BUREAU DIRECTOR TO CONSIDER THIS A PRIORITY IN THE NEW YEAR. STOP ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS THE DECENTRALIZATION OF FISHERIES MANAGEMENT INTO 12 SCIENCE-BASED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREAS AUGURS WELL FOR ACHIEVEMENT OF OUR GOAL TO ELIMINATE COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS FROM ILLEGALLY FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS THROUGHOUT THE PHILIPPINES. WE ARE ESTABLISHING A CIRCLE OF EXEMPLARY MAYORS IN EACH FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AREA TO BE CHAMPIONS FOR PROTECTING MUNICIPAL WATERS. WE ACHIEVED A SIGNIFICANT MILESTONE IN THIS CAMPAIGN AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE YEAR: FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ITS HISTORY, THE FISHERIES BUREAU PERMANENTLY REVOKED THE COMMERCIAL FISHING LICENSE OF AN OPERATOR WHO WAS A REPEAT OFFENDER. THE ORDER DATED NOVEMBER 2019 WAS RELEASED BY THE FISHERIES BUREAU TO OCEANA IN JANUARY 2020 AFTER A FOLLOW UP. THE ONLINE PLATFORM FOR REPORTING ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHING, KARAGATAN PATROL, LAUNCHED BY OCEANA IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LEAGUE OF MUNICIPALITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES IS NOW RECOGNIZED AS A KEY SOURCE OF INFORMATION AND DATA ON ILLEGAL FISHING ACTIVITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES. MEMBERSHIP OF THE PLATFORM HAS SURPASSED 2000, WITH MEMBERS REPRESENTING NATIONAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, ENFORCEMENT UNITS, LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, ENVIRONMENT ADVOCATES, FISHERFOLK LEADERS, AND CONCERNED CITIZENS. MEMBERS USE THE FACEBOOK PAGE TO REPORT AND COMMENT ON SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY AND ENFORCEMENT ACTIONS. ON THIS WEBSITE, ANYONE CAN SEE WHERE VESSELS HAVE BEEN FISHING AT NIGHT. THE SITE COLLECTS SATELLITE DATA ON LIGHTS AT SEA, APPLIES AN ALGORITHM TO DISTINGUISH TRANSITING FROM FISHING, AND PLOTS FISHING ACTIVITY ON AN OVERLAY OF PHILIPPINES JURISDICTIONAL WATERS. THIS SITE HAS ATTRACTED ATTENTION BOTH BECAUSE IT SHOWS WHERE COMMERCIAL FISHING BOATS ARE FISHING ILLEGALLY IN MUNICIPAL WATERS AND BECAUSE IT SHOWS THE INCURSION OF FOREIGN - PROBABLY CHINESE - BOATS INTO THE WEST PHILIPPINE SEA. DETER ILLEGAL DUMP AND FILL ACTIVITY OCEANA BEGAN 2019 WITH A VERY POSITIVE SHOW OF SUPPORT FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT (DILG) FOR OUR CAMPAIGN TO STOP ILLEGAL DUMP-AND-FILL PROJECTS. (DILG) SECRETARY EDUARDO AO IS PROVING TO BE OUR MOST CONSISTENT ALLY IN THE DUTERTE ADMINISTRATION. HE IS OPENLY OPPOSING DUMP AND FILL PROJECTS (KNOWN AS RECLAMATION IN THE COUNTRY). |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | STRENGTHEN CORAL-RICH MARINE PROTECTED AREAS WE RECENTLY GOT BOARD APPROVAL FOR A NEW CAMPAIGN TO PROTECT A RELATIVELY PRISTINE CORAL REEF AREA IN PANAON ISLAND IN LEYTE. WE WILL SEEK LEGAL PROTECTION UNDER THE EXPANDED NATIONAL INTEGRATED PROTECTED AREA SYSTEM. WE VISITED SEVERAL SITES IN 2019, AND THE CORAL REEFS OF PANAON ISLAND STOOD OUT AS EXHIBITING GOOD LIVE CORAL COVER. PANAON ISLAND'S WATERS ARE ESTIMATED AT AROUND 25,000-30,000 HECTARES. ITS REEF IS CLASSIFIED AS A VERY GOOD CANDIDATE FOR CONSERVATION. IT HAS A HIGH DIVERSITY OF FISH AND CORALS AND THERE ARE SIGNS OF RECOVERY FROM BLAST FISHING IN THE 80'S. IT IS A FEEDING GROUNDS FOR WHALE SHARKS, DOLPHINS, SEA TURTLES AND OTHER LARGE MARINE VERTEBRATES. THERE ARE SIGHTINGS OF THE RARE AND ENDANGERED LEATHERBACK TURTLES. FISHERFOLK BENEFIT FROM THE SPILL-OVER EFFECT OF AT LEAST 10 LOCALLY PROTECTED MARINE PROTECTED AREAS. IN ADDITION, BOTH POLITICAL DYNAMICS AND SUSTAINABLE TOURISM POTENTIAL ARE PROMISING. ILLEGAL FISHING AND TRANSPARENCY OCEANA SECURED VMS DATA FROM TWO COUNTRIES (CHILE AND MEXICO) AND PUBLISHED IT ON THE GLOBAL FISHING WATCH PLATFORM. THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT SIGNED AN AGREEMENT ON MAY 15 TO MAKE ITS VESSEL TRACKING DATA PUBLICLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE GLOBAL FISHING WATCH MAP AS A RESULT OF OCEANA'S COLLABORATION WITH THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY OF COMMERCIAL FISHING IN CHILEAN WATERS. OCEANA ALSO CREATED ALERTS FOR TWO COUNTRIES, BRAZIL AND THE PHILIPPINES, USING GFW. IN BRAZIL, AN AUTOMATED ALERT SYSTEM SENDS A REPORT TO OCEANA'S BRAZIL OFFICE WHEN A FOREIGN FLAGGED FISHING VESSEL ENTERS THE BRAZILIAN EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE (EEZ). AN ADDITIONAL MESSAGE IS SENT WHEN A VESSEL APPEARS TO FISH IN THE TERRITORIAL SEA OF SOUTHERN BRAZIL (12 NAUTICAL MILES FROM SHORE), THE AREA WHERE WE WON A TRAWLING CLOSURE YEAR-ROUND AND AN INDUSTRIAL PURSE SEINE CLOSURE FROM MAY 15 TO JULY 31 EACH YEAR. THE BRAZILIAN OFFICE CAN INVESTIGATE ANY FISHING BY INFERRED TRAWLERS OR PURSE SEINERS DURING THE CLOSURES TO IDENTIFY VESSELS THAT VIOLATE THESE CLOSURES AND TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVITY OF FISHING VESSEL COMPLIANCE WITH THE CLOSURES IN SOUTHERN BRAZIL. OCEANA ANALYSTS DEVELOPED AN AUTOMATED ALERT SYSTEM FOR THE PHILIPPINES THAT SENDS A REPORT TO OCEANA'S PHILIPPINES OFFICE WHEN A FOREIGN VESSEL ENTERS THE PHILIPPINE EEZ. ALL AVAILABLE DATA ON THE VESSEL'S ACTIVITY (I.E., POSSIBLE FISHING EVENTS, RENDEZVOUS, GAPS IN AIS TRANSMISSION, AND PORT VISITS) OVER THE PREVIOUS MONTH ARE REPORTED IN PDF FORMAT, INCLUDING A MAP AND TABLE OF EVENTS. THE ALERT WILL ALLOW MEMBERS OF OCEANA PHILIPPINES TO MONITOR THE INTRUSION OF FOREIGN VESSELS IN PHILIPPINE WATERS. OCEANA ALSO MODIFIED AND IMPROVED THE PERU ALERT TO ENHANCE ENFORCEMENT CAPACITY OF PERU'S CUSTOMS AGENCY. OCEANA ANALYSTS ALSO CONDUCTED THEIR OWN RESEARCH AND WORKED WITH OCEANA OFFICES TO WRITE FOUR REPORTS AND MAKE DATA AVAILABLE TO SUPPORT ADVOCACY EFFORTS. DUE TO CONFIDENTIALITY RESTRICTIONS AND CONSTRAINTS IN NAMING VESSELS, NOT ALL THE REPORTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. MOST NOTABLY, OUR TEAM PROVIDED OCEANA CHILE WITH INFORMATION ALLOWING IT TO DEMONSTRATE TO THE SOUTH PACIFIC REGIONAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION THAT THE LARGEST FACTORY VESSEL IN THE WORLD, THE DAMANZAIHAO, WAS ENGAGING IN SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITIES. SOUTH PACIFIC REGIONAL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION TOOK ACTION AGAINST THE COUNTRIES INVOLVED AND DECIDED TO KEEP THE VESSEL ON ITS ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED FISHING (IUU) LIST. OCEANA IS BUILDING A PLATFORM TO TRACK VESSEL SPEEDS ALONG THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA TO IDENTIFY VESSELS THAT EXCEED SPEED RESTRICTIONS IN ANY OF THE SEASONAL OR DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT AREAS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED TO PROTECT NORTH ATLANTIC RIGHT WHALES. ADDITIONAL LAYERS ON THE MAP WILL SHOW CRITICAL HABITAT AND ANY NEAR REAL-TIME WHALE SIGHTINGS IF THE DATA IS AVAILABLE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | IN 2019, WE ACHIEVED SEVERAL VICTORIES IN CHILE: CONGRESS PASSED A LAW TO DETER AND PUNISH ILLEGAL FISHING. CHILE HAS MADE ALL DATA FROM ITS VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM AVAILABLE ON GLOBAL FISHING WATCH. THE SOUTH PACIFIC REGIONAL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION KEPT ONE OF THE WORLD'S LARGEST TRANSSHIPPING "REEFER" SHIPS ON THE ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING BLACKLIST. THE ONLY OPERATION DUMPING MINE TAILINGS IN THE OCEAN WILL SOON TERMINATE OPERATION. ANTIBIOTIC USE IN SALMON FARMS PER UNIT OF FARMED SALMON DECREASED BY 50 PERCENT BELOW ITS RATE IN 2012. HABITAT PROTECTION FOR THE FIRST TIME, CHILE'S NATIONAL BUDGET FOR 2019 INCLUDED A LINE ITEM FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF MARINE PROTECTED AREAS AND BUDGETED $400,000. THIS WAS THE RESULT OF OCEANA'S WORK TO ENSURE THAT MPAS ARE SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED AND FULFILL THEIR PROMISE FOR CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITIES. WE CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE WITH NATIONAL POLICYMAKERS FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR THIS LINE ITEM. JUAN FERNANDEZ ISLANDS: OUR STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE FISHING COMMUNITY OF JUAN FERNANDEZ ARE ADVANCING THE MANAGEMENT PLANNING FOR THEIR MPA AND ALSO NATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS THAT PROMOTE THE AREA. WE WORKED WITH FISHERS IN JUAN FERNANDEZ TO ADDRESS SEVERAL AREAS OF THE FISHERIES LAW THAT, IN PRACTICE, ARE DETERRING SUSTAINABLE FISHING IN MPAS OF MULTIPLE USES INCLUDING THEIRS. WE ARE PROVIDING TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO FISHERS WHO WERE APPLYING FOR GOVERNMENT FUNDING FOR SEVERAL FISHERIES AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS THAT WOULD HELP THEM MANAGE THEIR MPA. LA HIGUERA: ECONOMIC INEQUALITY IS PLAYING OUT IN LA HIGUERA WHERE WE ARE SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY TO PROTECT ITS MARINE RESOURCES FROM UNSUSTAINABLE MINING INTERESTS. IN SEPTEMBER, CHILE'S SUPREME COURT RULED IN OUR FAVOR TO RETURN THE CASE AGAINST THE DOMINGA DESALINIZATION AND PORT PROJECT TO THE ENVIRONMENTAL COURT TO REVIEW THE GOVERNMENT'S DENIAL OF A PERMIT FOR THE PROJECT. OCEANA HAS LONGSTANDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND ARTISANAL FISHERS BECAUSE OF OUR SUCCESSFUL CAMPAIGN TO DEFEAT A COAL POWER PLANT THERE IN 2010, AND THE DRAWN OUT LEGAL BATTLE OVER THE DOMINGA PROJECT HAS BROADENED AND DEEPENED THIS BASE OF SUPPORT. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE VOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO SUPPORT THE ENVIRONMENTALLY DESTRUCTIVE DEVELOPMENT THAT DOMINGA WANTS, THE HUMBOLDT ALLIANCE, WHICH WE HELPED BUILD, NOW HAS ABOUT 95 ORGANIZATIONS WORKING TO DEFEAT DOMINGA, ESTABLISH AN MPA THERE AND STRENGTHEN SUSTAINABLE FISHING AND TOURISM IN LA HIGUERA. TORTEL: BASED ON THE RESULTS OF OUR APRIL WORKSHOP WITH THE TORTEL COMMUNITY ON THE RICH BIODIVERSITY OF THE AREA AND THEIR VISON FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF THEIR MARINE RESOURCES, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITY AS THEY DEVELOP A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE NEW MPA. KATALALIXAR: WE COMPLETED THE SCIENTIFIC DOCUMENTATION FOR THE PROPOSAL FOR ADDITIONAL PROTECTIONS IN PATAGONIA FOR KATALALIXAR, INCLUDING BOTH THE MARINE AND TERRESTRIAL COMPONENTS WHICH WE OVERSAW AT THE REQUEST OF THE GOVERNMENT. THE RICH BIODIVERSITY WE FOUND (IDENTIFYING ABOUT 300 MARINE SPECIES) SUPPORT RAISING THE AREA'S DESIGNATION FROM A NATURAL RESERVE TO A MARINE PARK, THE STRONGEST DESIGNATION FOR PROTECTION IN CHILE. OUR GOAL IS TO SUBMIT THIS PROPOSAL, TOGETHER WITH THE LOCAL INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES, TO CONAF (THE CHILEAN PROTECTED AREA SERVICE) EARLY IN 2020 AND TO ACHIEVE AN MPA THERE BY THE END OF 2020. ALSO IN PATAGONIA, WE EXPECT THE GOVERNMENT TO FINALIZE A MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR THE MPA THERE BY MID-2020 IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR TIMELINE. PROTECT COMMON HAKE AND JACK MACKEREL WE CONTINUED TO SUPPORT VIGOROUS IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MAJOR IUU FISHING LAW THAT WE WON AT THE BEGINNING OF 2019. CHILE'S VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM (VMS) DATA IS NOW AVAILABLE ON GLOBAL FISHING WATCH. THIS ACHIEVEMENT IS A MILESTONE IN OUR CAMPAIGN TO GET BETTER MANAGEMENT FOR COMMON HAKE, WHICH SUFFERS FROM SIGNIFICANT EXPLOITATION IN AREAS OF NATIONAL JURISDICTION AND IN THE HIGH SEAS. OUR CHILE OFFICE HAS AN EXCELLENT WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE SPRFMO WHICH REGULATES HIGH SEAS AND CHILE'S HAKE AND JACK MACKEREL FISHERIES. WE ALSO DEVELOPED AND PRESENTED A MAJOR TRANSSHIPMENT CASE INVOLVING THE BIGGEST FACTORY VESSEL IN THE WORLD, THE VLADIVOSTOK, TO THE SPRFMO AND GOT THEM TO LEVY SANCTIONS AGAINST THE THREE COUNTRIES INVOLVED. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A NON-MEMBER COUNTRY, IN THIS CASE OCEANA, HAS DEVELOPED A CASE THAT WAS HEARD BY THE SPRFMO. PROTECT BROWN KELP TO GATHER MOMENTUM FOR OUR CAMPAIGN AND THE BEST THINKING IN THE COUNTRY, WE ORGANIZED AND HELD THE FIRST-EVER SEMINAR ON THE KELP FISHERY IN CHILE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH AND UNIVERSIDAD CATOLICA. EXPERTS FROM AROUND THE COUNTRY GATHERED IN AUGUST TO DISCUSS CURRENT SCIENCE AND POLICY, IDENTIFY GAPS AND DISCUSS WHY CURRENT MANAGEMENT PLANS ARE NOT WORKING. WE ALSO HIRED ACUAIM, A TECHNOLOGY-BASED PROBLEM-SOLVING CONSULTING FIRM, TO IDENTIFY THE MAIN INFORMATION GAPS FOR THE DESIGN, IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT OF A CONSERVATION AND CULTIVATION PROGRAM FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MACROALGAE INDUSTRY AND THE COMMUNITIES AROUND IT, INCLUDING AN ANALYSIS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN FOR KELP. BASED ON ACUAIM'S REPORT AND WITH INPUT FROM THE EXPERT COMMUNITY WE HAVE GENERATED, WE WILL DEVELOP A SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR KELP IN 2020. REDUCE ANTIBIOTIC USE IN SALMON AQUACULTURE IN 2019, WE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL OF DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF ANTIBIOTICS USED PER UNIT OF FARMED SALMON IN CHILE BY 50 PERCENT FROM 2012 LEVELS. HOWEVER, WE DID NOT ACHIEVE OUR GOAL OF REDUCING THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SALMON PRODUCED. CHILE'S RULES ALLOW FOR HIGHER THAN DESIRABLE DENSITY IN SALMON PENS AND SALMON COMPANIES HAVE BEEN MISREPORTING THE RESULTING MORTALITY RATES. WE ARE CAMPAIGNING TO REQUIRE THE GOVERNMENT TO "DOUBLE-CHECK" REPORTED MORTALITY TO CURTAIL THIS ABUSE AND ALSO TO EXTEND A MORATORIUM ON NEW SALMON CONCESSIONS IN SOUTHERN CHILE FOR ANOTHER FIVE YEARS. EUROPE ILLEGAL FISHING IN A STEP FORWARD FOR TRANSPARENCY, THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION HAS NOW MADE PUBLIC ITS LISTS OF AUTHORIZATIONS INDICATING WHERE AND WHEN EU VESSELS ARE AUTHORIZED TO FISH IN EXTERNAL WATERS. THE INFORMATION WAS RELEASED IN APRIL 2019 ON THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION WEBSITE. THE COMMISSION HAS ALSO PROMISED THAT A FINAL AND MORE EASILY ACCESSIBLE DATABASE WILL BE IMPLEMENTED BY THE END OF 2021. THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN (GFCM) ADOPTED IN ITS NOVEMBER MEETING THE MANDATORY DISCLOSURE OF FISHING ACCESS AGREEMENTS IN WATERS OF THIRD COUNTRIES AND STRENGTHENING THE IUU VESSEL LIST (BY ADDING A REQUIREMENT FOR COUNTRIES TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CITIZENS ARE NOT ENGAGED IN IUU FISHING OR PROVIDE SERVICES TO IUU VESSELS). THESE MEASURES WERE PROPOSED BY OCEANA AND ENDORSED BY THE EU. IN SEPTEMBER, AND TOGETHER WITH THE EU IUU COALITION, OCEANA LAUNCHED AN ADVOCACY TOOLAN ONLINE MAP THAT PROVIDES LINKS TO REPORTS AND MEDIA COVERAGE WHICH UNVEIL WEAKNESSES OR FAILURES IN FISHERIES CONTROL WITHIN EU MEMBER STATES. THIS MAP WILL BE A 'LIVE TOOL' TO IMPROVE MEMBER STATE EFFORTS TO TACKLE IUU FISHING, AND TO PUT PRESSURE ON THE COMMISSION TO ACT AGAINST MEMBER STATES THAT FAIL TO IMPLEMENT REQUIRED FISHERIES CONTROL SYSTEMS. FOLLOWING OCEANA'S ALERT IN FEBRUARY, THE MARINE MANAGEMENT ORGANISATION - THE RELEVANT ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY IN THE UK - TOOK ACTION TO CANCEL THE INSURANCE CONTRACT OF THE 'ATLANTIC WIND' - AN INTERNATIONALLY LISTED IUU FISHING VESSEL FOUND ON FIVE REGIONAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS' IUU VESSEL LISTS. WE WILL CONTINUE SCREENING FOR SIMILAR CASES AS TIME ALLOWS. IN JUNE, OCEANA WAS GIVEN AN AWARD BY THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN, IN RECOGNITION OF OUR WORK WITH THE GLOBAL INSURANCE SECTOR IN EFFORTS TO COMBAT IUU FISHING. IN SEPTEMBER, OCEANA ATTENDED A MARINE MANAGEMENT ORGANISATION EVENT TO INFORM INSURERS OF THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATIONS REGARDING IUU. OCEANA WAS ALSO INVITED TO SPEAK AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL UNION OF MARINE INSURANCE - THE WORLD'S LARGEST INTERNATIONAL GATHERING OF MARINE INSURERS - ABOUT IUU FISHING AND THE ROLE THAT THE INSURANCE SECTOR CAN HAVE IN TRANSFORMING OCEAN GOVERNANCE. OUR PRESENTATION WAS WELL RECEIVED, AND MANY NEW CONTACTS WERE MADE WITH INSURERS WHO ARE EAGER TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OCEANA AND FIND OUT HOW THEY CAN ENGAGE WITH US ON THE ISSUES DISCUSSED. |

EMPLOYEES WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED, OBSERVED, OR LEARNED ABOUT CONDUCT THEY BELIEVE IS CONTRARY TO OCEANA'S POLICES OR CODE OF ETHICS MUST REPORT SUCH VIOLATIONS (OR POTENTIAL OR SUSPECTED VIOLATIONS). OCEANA PROVIDES TWO WAYS TO REPORT VIOLATIONS. FIRST, VIOLATIONS MAY BE REPORTED THROUGH A REPORTING SYSTEM THAT OCEANA HAS SET UP THROUGH AN ONLINE WEBSITE OR BY CALLING THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED FOR EACH COUNTRY ON THAT WEBSITE. THE SITE IS CONFIDENTIAL, EASY TO USE, AND ALWAYS AVAILABLE. EMPLOYEES HAVE THE OPTION TO DISCLOSE THEIR IDENTITY OR MAKE A REPORT ANONYMOUSLY; HOWEVER, DISCLOSING IDENTITY IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO ENABLE OCEANA TO CONDUCT A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE CASE OF A POLICY THAT PROTECTS INDIVIDUALS (FOR EXAMPLE, CONCERNING SEXUAL HARASSMENT OR DISCRIMINATION).
