| Desc | UNITED STATES:IN THE UNITED STATES, OCEANA IS WORKING ON SCIENCE-BASED POLICY CAMPAIGNS THAT ADDRESS RESPONSIBLE FISHING, CLIMATE AND ENERGY, SEAFOOD FRAUD AND DEFENDING THE NATION'S BEDROCK CONSERVATION LAWS.RESPONSIBLE FISHING:OCEANA'S RESPONSIBLE FISHING CAMPAIGN SEEKS TO WIN LONG-TERM, SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF U.S. FISHERIES. OCEANA IS WORKING TO BAN THE SALE AND TRADE OF SHARK FINS; TO REDUCE BYCATCH OF FISH AND PROTECTED OR ENDANGERED SPECIES; TO PROTECT THE HABITATS THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR NURSING, SPAWNING, FEEDING, AND OTHER FUNCTIONS; AND TO GET SCIENCE-BASED QUOTAS FOR COMMERCIAL SPECIES AS WELL AS FOR SPECIES THAT ARE NECESSARY FOOD-FISH FOR COMMERCIALLY IMPORTANT SPECIES. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE A SAMPLE OF OCEANA'S ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2017 IN EACH OF THESE AREAS.SHARK FIN BAN:DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE ON SHARK POPULATIONS BEING DRIVEN LARGELY BY DEMAND FOR THEIR FINS, OCEANA LAUNCHED A CAMPAIGN TO BAN THE TRADE IN SHARK FINS.-OCEANA SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR THE RE-INTRODUCTION OF THE SHARK FIN TRADE ELIMINATION ACT, TO BAN POSSESSION AND SALE OF SHARK FINS.-OCEANA IDENTIFIED AN OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE THE BILL THROUGH THE SENATE COMMERCE COMMITTEE, WHICH PASSED THE BILL BY VOICE VOTE ON MAY 18, 2017.-OCEANA IS CONTINUING TO ADD CO-SPONSORS: 236 HOUSE COSPONSORS, REPRESENTING MORE THAN HALF OF THE CHAMBER; AND 4 OF THE 9 MOST INFLUENTIAL REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE CHAIRS SIGNED A JOINT OP-ED CALLING ON CONGRESS TO PASS THE BILL.BYCATCH:-THE UNINTENTIONAL CATCH OF MARINE SPECIES WHILE FISHING (BYCATCH) UNDERMINES SUCCESSFUL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND WASTES THE OCEAN'S LIVING MARINE RESOURCES. BYCATCH IS THE GREATEST REMAINING BARRIER TO RESTORING U.S. FISHERIES AND ECOSYSTEMS. DRIFT GILLNETS ARE PARTICULARLY DESTRUCTIVE: BETWEEN 2007 AND JANUARY 2013, THE DRIFT GILLNET FISHERY DISCARDED 61 PERCENT OF ALL MARINE ANIMALS CAUGHT. OCEANA SUCCEEDED IN PREVENTING THE EXPANSION OF THE DRIFT GILLNET FISHERY IN TO THE PACIFIC LEATHERBACK CONSERVATION AREA IN 2017. -OCEANA OBTAINED THE IDENTITIES OF THE 68 VESSELS OF THE GULF OF ALASKA TRAWL FLEET AND BUILT A DATABASE OF GLOBAL FISHING WATCH DATA TO TRACK THE BEHAVIOR OF THESE VESSELS AND TO HELP VERIFY IF OBSERVERS ARE ON BOARD. ADDITIONALLY, OCEANA IDENTIFIED THE LOCATIONS OF FISH PROCESSING PLANTS TO HELP GFW BETTER DEFINE THE BEGINNING AND END OF 'FISHING TRIPS' WHEN FISH IS DROPPED OFF AT THE PLANTS.PROTECTING HABITAT:OCEANA PROTECTS IMPORTANT HABITATS, INCLUDING NURSERY AND SPAWNING GROUNDS. -OCEANA PUBLISHED THE ECOLOGICAL ATLAS OF THE BERING, CHUKCHI, AND BEAUFORT SEAS, THAT IDENTIFIES THE IMPORTANT HABITATS FOR MARINE SPECIES ACROSS THE ENTIRE U.S. ARCTIC. OCEANA DEVELOPED AND USED A SPATIAL DATABASE TO PRODUCE 15 MAPS FOR THE ATLAS. OCEANA CONTRIBUTED SECTIONS ON ZOOPLANKTON, BENTHIC BIOMASS, SNOW CRAB, RED KING CRAB, AND MANY ADDITIONAL SPECIES. -OCEANA SECURED HABITAT PROTECTION MEASURES NEEDED TO KEEP BOTTOM TRAWLING OUT OF MORE THAN A MILLION SQUARE KILOMETERS OF SENSITIVE SEAFLOOR HABITAT IN THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS, GULF OF ALASKA, AND BERING SEA.-BECAUSE OF OCEANA, THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE (NMFS) FINALIZED THE MID-ATLANTIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL PROPOSAL ON DEEP SEA CORAL CONSERVATION, PROTECTING MORE THAN 35,000 SQUARE MILES (91,000 KM2) OF OCEAN HABITAT FROM LONG ISLAND TO NORTH CAROLINA FROM TRAWL AND DREDGE FISHING.SCIENCE-BASED CATCH LIMITS:-ALTHOUGH SCIENTIFICALLY-BASED QUOTAS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW, MANAGERS ARE NOT SETTING SUFFICIENT LIMITS FOR SOME FISHERIES. OCEANA'S WORK IS DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT QUOTAS ARE SET IN A WAY THAT MAINTAIN HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT FACTORS SUCH AS PREDATOR-PREY RELATIONSHIPS AND POPULATION DYNAMICS.-THROUGH SCIENCE AND ADVOCACY, OCEANA HELPED CONVINCE THE PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL TO KEEP THE U.S. WEST COAST PACIFIC SARDINE FISHERY CLOSED FOR THE UPCOMING COMMERCIAL SEASON IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE FISHERY.-OCEANA PERSUADED THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO IMPLEMENT NEW REGULATIONS SAFEGUARDING HUNDREDS OF SPECIES OF FORAGE FISH FROM NEW, DIRECTED FISHERIES. WE ACHIEVED OUR GOAL OF PROTECTING ROUGHLY 70 PERCENT OF FORAGE FISH (BY WEIGHT) IN WEST COAST WATERS. OCEANA ALSO GOT NMFS TO SET QUOTAS FOR ALEUTIAN PACIFIC COD AND ALEUTIAN POLLOCK THAT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THEIR ROLE AS FORAGE OR FOOD FOR PREDATORS.STOP EXPANDED OFFSHORE DRILLING:PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ELIMINATING PROTECTIONS WE WON FOR THE ATLANTIC, ARCTIC, AND PACIFIC OCEANS AGAINST OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING. THE ADMINISTRATION PLANS TO ALLOW LEASE SALES IN ALL U.S OCEANS. CONGRESS CAN ALSO SPEED THE PROCESS OF SELLING LEASES IN THESE AREAS THROUGH LEGISLATION. THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CAN QUICKLY APPROVE EXPLORATORY SEISMIC TESTING PERMITS IN THE ATLANTIC. TO PREVENT THESE ACTIONS, WE HAVE EXPANDED OUR GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN IN COASTAL CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS NATIONALLY, WITH A FOCUS ON PASSING LOCAL RESOLUTIONS AND BUILDING CLEAR BUSINESS COMMUNITY OPPOSITION.STOPPING THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE OIL IN THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS:-OCEANA DEFENDED AGAINST CONGRESSIONAL EFFORTS TO END THE CONGRESSIONAL MORATORIUM AGAINST DRILLING IN THE EASTERN GULF OF MEXICO.-OCEANA PROVIDED LEGAL AND SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT AND ACTIVATED CONGRESSIONAL CHAMPIONS, GRASSROOTS ALLIES, AND COALITION PARTNERS TO STOP THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM FINALIZING A REVISED FIVE-YEAR PLAN TO EXPAND OFFSHORE DRILLING. THROUGH OUR WORK, FOUR ADDITIONAL GOVERNORS HAVE PUBLICLY OPPOSED OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING.-THROUGH AN EXPANDED GRASSROOTS CAMPAIGN TO AMPLIFY THE VOICES OF PACIFIC COAST BUSINESS LEADERS, COMMUNITIES, AND MUNICIPAL AND STATE ELECTED OFFICIALS, OCEANA HELPED PREVENT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION FROM INCLUDING LEASE SALES IN THE PACIFICSTOP OFFSHORE DRILLING IN THE ARCTIC:-OCEANA SUCCEEDED IN PREVENTING THE PROTECTIONS AFFORDED THE ARCTIC IN 2016 FROM BEING OVERTURNED IN 2017, AS NEITHER CONGRESS NOR THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS SUCCEEDED IN OPENING THE ARCTIC TO OFFSHORE DRILLING.SEAFOOD FRAUD:-OCEANA ENGAGED OUR EXPANDED FIELD TEAM TO BUILD SUPPORT FOR EXPANDING TRACEABILITY USING FULL CHAIN TRACEABILITY FOR ALL SEAFOOD SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES.-OCEANA DEFENDED LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT GIVE AUTHORITY TO TRACE AND TRACK SEAFOOD SUCH AS THE FEDERAL FOOD, DRUG AND COSMETIC ACT, THE LACEY ACT, AND THE MAGNUSON STEVENS ACT.DEFENSE OF OCEAN PROTECTION LAWS:OCEANA JOINED WITH OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL GROUPS TO HELP DEFEND AGAINST EFFORTS TO UNDERMINE KEY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS SUCH AS THE MAGNUSON STEVENS ACT, MARINE MAMMAL PROTECTION ACT (MMPA), ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT, ANTIQUITIES ACT, ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE ACT AND NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT. OCEANA BUILT AND IS CO-LEADING WITH NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL A COALITION OF ABOUT 30 NGOS IN DEFENDING THE MMPA FROM ATTACKS BY CONGRESS AND THE ADMINISTRATION. | Desc |

| FORM 990, PART III, LINE I, DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION OF 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, 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 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. TODAY, OCEANA TEAMS ARE WORKING IN COUNTRIES WHICH CONTROL ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WORLD'S WILD OCEAN FISHERIES (BY WEIGHT): THE UNITED STATES, THE EUROPEAN UNION, BELIZE, BRAZIL, CANADA, CHILE, PERU, MEXICO, 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. OCEANA IS WORKING WITH COUNTRIES TO PROVIDE THIS BOUNTY TO THEIR CITIZENS. TOGETHER WITH OUR ALLIES, WE ARE SAVING THE OCEANS TO FEED THE WORLD. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 3 | EFFECTIVE JUNE 30, 2017, OCEANA TRANSFERRED OPERATIONAL CONTROL FOR ITS GLOBAL FISHING WATCHPROGRAM TO GLOBAL FISHING WATCH, INC., A NEWLY FORMED 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION. GLOBAL FISHINGWATCH, INC. OPERATES AND FURTHER DEVELOPS THE GLOBAL FISHING WATCH WEB PLATFORM. OCEANA UTILIZES THE WEB PLATFORM AND THE ENHANCEMENTS TO FURTHER ITS MISSION. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | BELIZE: THE INTENSE PUBLIC OUTCRY OVER THE SECRET APPROVAL OF SEISMIC STUDIES COMPELLED THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALLY TO RE-AFFIRM THAT A "POLICY-BASED" MORATORIUM WAS IN EFFECT. OCEANA FORCEFULLY ADVOCATED THAT THE GOVERNMENT PUT ITS MORATORIUM INTO LAW AND IN 2017 THE BELIZEAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED ITS INTENTION TO INTRODUCE CRITICAL LEGISLATION TO ESTABLISH AN INDEFINITE MORATORIUM ON OFFSHORE OIL ACTIVITY. THE BILL WAS INTRODUCED IN OCTOBER AND SIGNED INTO LAW IN DECEMBER. BELIZE COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT: OCEANA'S STRONG SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWING ILLUSTRATES OCEANA'S COMMUNITY REACH, ESPECIALLY WITH YOUNG PEOPLE IN THE 18- TO 34-AGE RANGE WHO ARE POLITICALLY AND SOCIALLY ACTIVE AND CAN VOTE. SOCIAL MEDIA: OCEANA'S CURRENT FACEBOOK FOLLOWING OF OVER 20,000, SIGNIFICANTLY OUTPACES OTHER NGOS IN BELIZE AS WELL AS THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANY OF BELIZE. SIMILARLY, OCEANA HAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000 INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS. GRASSROOTS MOBILIZATION: IN 2017, OCEANA CONTINUED TO ENGAGE THE LOCAL POPULATION INCLUDING REEF WEEK (A WEEK-LONG SERIES OF EVENTS THAT PROMOTE THE IMPORTANCE OF BELIZE'S REEF); OCEAN HEROES, WHICH RECOGNIZES BELIZEANS AS PROTECTORS OF BELIZE'S MARINE RESOURCES;, HANDS ACROSS THE SAND, AND; ANNUAL WAVEMAKER RALLIES. IN 2017, OCEANA LOCAL ORGANIZERS VISITED 246 FISHING VILLAGES. BRAZIL: SCIENCE-BASED RECOVERY PLANS: OCEANA'S GOAL IN BRAZIL IS TO ESTABLISH A MODERN FISHERIES MANAGEMENT SYSTEM BASED ON SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES. THE HEART OF THE WORK IS OCEANA'S CAMPAIGN TO REQUIRE SCIENCE-BASED RECOVERY PLANS. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE KEY ACCOMPLISHMENTS. -THE RED LIST IS BRAZIL'S LEGAL PROTECTION FOR 475 ENDANGERED FISH AND AQUATIC INVERTEBRATE SPECIES. OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS, OCEANA HAS BEEN WORKING TO SAFEGUARD THESE PROTECTIONS IN THE FACE OF INDUSTRY EFFORTS TO REMOVE THEM. WE ARE AMICUS CURIAE IN IMPORTANT LITIGATION AND WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS IN THE MEETINGS OF THE WORKING GROUP TO DISCUSS SOLUTIONS FOR THE RED LIST. THIS WORKING GROUP IS OUR MAIN OPPORTUNITY AND STRATEGY TO PUSH FOR MONITORING AND RECOVERY PLANS, AND OCEANA HAS PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE AND EXPENDED SIGNIFICANT EFFORT ON PLANNING THE MEETINGS AND SHAPING THE AGENDAS. -WE GOT THE FISHERIES SECRETARIAT TO HIRE CONSULTANTS TO WORK ON A TUNA MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR BRAZIL. -OCEANA ADVOCACY PERSUADED THE GOVERNMENT TO PUBLISH A REGULATION REQUIRING MANDATORY USE OF CIRCLE HOOKS IN LONGLINERS THAT OPERATE IN TUNA FISHERIES TO PROTECT SEA TURTLES AND SHARKS. TRANSPARENCY AND SCIENCE-BASED DECISIONS ON FISHERIES: OCEANS SEEKS TO RESTORE THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT DECISIONS, INCLUDING REINSTATING LANDINGS MONITORING FOR AT LEAST ONE STATE OR FISHERY AND NATIONAL LOGBOOK AND OBSERVER PROGRAMS BY 2020.OCEANA HAD SEVERAL IMPORTANT SUCCESSES RELATED TO ENSURING PUBLIC ACCESS TO KEY DATA. -BECAUSE OF OCEANA, THE GOVERNMENT RELEASED ALL TAINHA LOGBOOKS FROM 2012 TO 2016, THE FIRST TIME AN ORGANIZATION OTHER THAN GOVERNMENT HAS HAD ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION, WE USED THE NATIONAL FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS INFORMATION SHOULD NOT BE KEPT IN SECRET FROM SOCIETY. -OCEANA ALSO GOT THE GENERAL OMBUDSMAN TO FORMALLY DECLARE THAT THE FISHERIES SECRETARIAT MUST RELEASE TO OCEANA ALL VMS DATA FROM THE FOLLOWING FISHERIES FOR THE BOTTOM TRAWLING FISHERY, BOTTOM LONGLINE AND GILLNET FISHERIES. -THE FISHERIES SECRETARIAT MADE THE FISHERIES GENERAL REGISTRY DATA (RGP) AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC ON ITS WEBSITE. THIS INFORMATION REGARDS FISHING FLEET/VESSEL TYPE AND SIZE, FISHING GEAR, TARGETS AND SECONDARY TARGET SPECIES AND WAS COMPLETELY INACCESSIBLE TO SOCIETY SINCE THE ELIMINATION OF THE MINISTRY OF FISHERIES IN 2015. -THE FISHERIES SECRETARIAT ALSO FORMALLY COMMITTED TO REESTABLISH THE ONBOARD OBSERVERS PROGRAM, WHICH WAS ILLEGALLY SUSPENDED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN 2011. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT STEP TOWARD OUR GOAL OF RESTORING THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS IN FISHERIES, INCLUDING ONBOARD OBSERVER PROGRAMS. PROTECT TAINHA CAMPAIGN: OCEANA SECURED THE COMMITMENT OF FISHERIES SECRETARIAT DAVYSON DE SOUZA FOR THE ADOPTION OF CATCH LIMITS FOR TAINHA PER OUR RECOMMENDATIONS. PROTECT VULNERABLE HABITATS AND SPECIES FROM BOTTOM TRAWLING: OCEANA SECURED THE COMMITMENT OF THE GOVERNMENT OF RIO GRANDE DO SUL TO COMMIT TO THE CREATION OF A SUSTAINABLE USE MARINE PROTECTED AREA (15,000 KM), INCLUDING A COMPLETE BOTTOM TRAWL BAN, THAT WILL ENSURE PROTECTION FOR ONE THE MOST IMPORTANT MARINE BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS AND SMALL-SCALE COASTAL FISHING AREAS IN BRAZIL. OCEANA CANADA: IN 2017, 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: INCREASE GOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCY: -AFTER CAMPAIGNING BY OCEANA CANADA AND OUR PARTNERS, FISHERIES AND OCEANS CANADA RELEASED - FOR THE FIRST TIME - A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE STATUS OF CANADIAN FISHERIES IN DECEMBER. THE CANADIAN FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT ALSO ANNOUNCED THAT IT WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT REBUILDING PLANS FOR 19 FISHERIES, ALL TO BE COMPLETED BY MARCH 2021. THESE FIRST STEPS ARE MAJOR LEAPS FORWARD FOR INCREASING FISHERIES MANAGEMENT TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN CANADA. REBUILD CANADA'S FISHERIES: -IN THE SPRING 2017, THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT COMMITTED TO REBUILDING PLANS FOR REDFISH AND ROCKFISH BY MARCH, 2018, AND NORTHERN COD BY MARCH 2019. IN OCTOBER, IT COMMITTED TO TWO ADDITIONAL REBUILDING PLANS FOR STOCKS CO-MANAGED WITH THE U.S. IN THE GULF OF MAINE: GEORGES BANK COD AND YELLOWTAIL FLOUNDER. THE GOVERNMENT HAS NOW COMMITTED TO COMPLETING SEVEN NEW REBUILDING PLANS FOR STOCKS IN THE CRITICAL ZONE. PROTECTING OCEAN HABITAT IN CANADA: GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE: -DUE TO OCEANA GROUND-BREAKING BENTHIC RESEARCH, THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED THAT TWO AREAS IN THE GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE WERE CLOSED TO ALL FISHING THAT USES BOTTOM-CONTACT GEAR. THE 2,761 SQUARE KILOMETER GULF-EAST AND HONDGUEDO-EAST SITES ARE NOW CLOSED USING BINDING AND ENFORCEABLE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT TOOLS. THE GOVERNMENT HAS INDICATED IT WILL INTRODUCE REGULATIONS PROTECTING THESE AND OTHER SITES IN 2018 TO PROVIDE LONG-TERM CERTAINTY. -OCEANA CARRIED OUT AN EXPEDITION IN THE GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE, INCLUDING FILMING, MEDIA AND PROMOTIONAL EVENTS. STOP SEAFOOD FRAUD IN CANADA: OCEANA COMPLETED MANY ACTIVITIES IN SUPPORT OF OUR SEAFOOD FRAUD CAMPAIGN, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING: -CONDUCT INDEPENDENT RESEARCH TO CONFIRM CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DOMESTIC SALE OF WILD AND AQUACULTURE FISH LABELLING; DOMESTIC CATCH REPORTING; IMPORT CONTROLS (CANADA, EU AND U.S. COMPARISONS); FOOD SAFETY LAWS; AND IMPACT OF IUU FISHING ON CANADIAN IMPORTS AND EXPORTS. -CONDUCT INDEPENDENT DNA TESTING OF SEAFOOD SAMPLES IN RESTAURANTS AND GROCERY STORES IN SEVEN CANADIAN CITIES. -ENGAGE WITH FISHERS, CHEFS, SEAFOOD INDUSTRY REPRESENTATIVES AND LIKE-MINDED NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AS KEY INFLUENCERS TO BUILD THE CASE FOR STRONGER SEAFOOD TRACEABILITY REGULATIONS. -LAUNCH TESTING RESULTS AS PART OF A LARGER REPORT THAT OUTLINES THE EXTENT AND THE ECONOMIC, HEALTH AND CONSERVATION RISKS OF SEAFOOD FRAUD IN CANADA. CHILE: HABITAT PROTECTION: OCEANA IS WORKING TO PROTECT AT LEAST 20 PERCENT OF CHILE'S EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE (EEZ) AS MARINE PROTECTED AREAS (MPAS). BY THE END OF 2017, WE HAD EXCEEDED THIS GOAL, SECURING 25 PERCENT OF THE EEZ. -ON JUNE 1, PRESIDENT MICHELLE BACHELET ANNOUNCED THAT CHILE WILL CREATE A NO-TAKE MARINE PARK OF 485,000 SQUARE KILOMETERS AROUND JUAN FERNNDEZ ARCHIPELAGO. THIS PROPOSAL PROTECTS FISHERIES AND TOURISM, THE TWO MAIN SOURCES OF LIVELIHOOD ON THE ONLY INHABITED ISLAND IN THE ARCHIPELAGO, ROBINSON CRUSOE ISLAND. THE NO-TAKE ZONE WILL EXTEND AN EXISTING MULTI-USE MARINE RESERVE THAT ALLOWS SOME FISHING FROM 12 TO 24 NAUTICAL MILES AND MAKES THE REST OF THE EEZ A NO-TAKE AREA. -FOLLOWING PRESSURE FROM OCEANA AND ITS ALLIES, CHILE'S MINISTERIAL COMMITTEE CONFIRMED THE REJECTION OF PORT MINING PROJECT DOMINGA IN AUGUST 2017. THE ANDES IRON PROJECT HAD ALREADY BEEN REJECTED BY THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT COMMISSION OF COQUIMBO IN MARCH 2017, BUT THE MINING COMPANY APPEALED THE DECISION, CAUSING THE FINAL VERDICT TO FALL ON THE MINISTERIAL COMMITTEE. DOMINGA'S ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT WAS STRONGLY QUESTIONED BY SCIENTISTS, OCEANA AND ITS ALLIES BECAUSE IT DID NOT INCLUDE BASIC REQUIRED SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION AND DIDN'T GAUGE THE IMPACTS THAT TWO OPEN PIT MINES AND A MEGA PORT WOULD HAVE ON THE MARINE ECOSYSTEM AND THE WORLD-RENOWNED HUMBOLDT PENGUIN NATIONAL RESERVE. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | FISHERIES MANAGEMENT: OCEANA IS SEEKING TO IMPROVE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN CHILE WITH A FOCUS ON THE RECOVERY OF THE COMMON HAKE, JACK MACKEREL AND ANCHOVETA FISHERIES, AND CONTROLLING ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED, AND UNREGULATED FISHING. FOLLOWING YEARS OF STRONG ADVOCACY AND IRREFUTABLE SCIENCE, TWO CRUCIAL FISHERIES HAVE OBTAINED SUSTAINABLE STATUS. -JACK MACKEREL HAS RAPIDLY RECOVERED, RETURNING FROM COLLAPSE IN THE YEARS THAT OCEANA HAS BEEN CAMPAIGNING FOR ITS SCIENTIFIC AND APPROPRIATELY PRECAUTIONARY MANAGEMENT OF THIS FISHERY. THIS FISHERY IS MANAGED BY THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC REGIONAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION (SPRFMO), WHERE WE HAVE HELD OBSERVER STATUS SINCE 2014. WE PRESENTED SCIENTIFIC REPORTS ON THE STATE OF THE FISHERY IN 2014 AND 2015, AND ADVOCATED FOR A MORE PRECAUTIONARY APPROACH TO SETTING QUOTAS. -SCIENTIFIC ACOUSTIC STUDIES SHOW THAT THE COMMON HAKE IS MOVING AWAY FROM THE COLLAPSE IT EXPERIENCED IN 2002. IMPLEMENTING THE NEW FISHERIES LAW PASSED IN 2013 WITH OCEANA'S SUPPORT, THE GOVERNMENT CUT QUOTAS FOR COMMON HAKE BY HALF TO ALLOW FOR REBUILDING. STOP BOTTOM TRAWLING: OCEANA SUCCESSFULLY PERSUADED THE FISHERIES AGENCY TO ANNOUNCE A BAN ON BOTTOM TRAWLING IN 97 PERCENT OF CHILE'S EEZ. SALMON FARMING: -FOLLOWING A FOUR-YEAR LEGAL BATTLE LED BY OCEANA, THE CHILEAN SUPREME COURT RULED THAT THE CHILEAN SALMON FARMING INDUSTRY MUST DISCLOSE INFORMATION ABOUT ITS USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN AQUACULTURE. OCEANA HAS FOUGHT FOR TRANSPARENCY IN THE CHILEAN SALMON FARMING INDUSTRY WHICH HAS USED ALARMING AMOUNTS OF ANTIBIOTICS, IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF HABITAT DEGRADATION, AND POSES RISKS TO HUMAN HEALTH. EUROPE: TRANSPARENCY: OCEANA AIMS TO IMPROVE TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE FISHERIES SECTOR IN EUROPE. -ONE YEAR AHEAD OF THE DEADLINE FOR THIS GOAL, OCEANA SUCCEEDED IN GETTING 18 INSURANCE COMPANIES FROM AROUND THE WORLD (INSURERS, REINSURERS, BROKERS AND AGENTS) TO SIGN A STATEMENT COMMITTING TO NEITHER INSURE NOR FACILITATE THE INSURING OF ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING VESSELS. THIS STATEMENT WAS CO-SPONSORED BY FIVE OF THE LARGEST, AND MOST RELEVANT INSURERS IN THE WORLD: ALLIANZ AGCS, AXA, HANSEATIC UNDERWRITERS, GENERALI AND THE SHIPOWNERS' CLUB. IN ADDITION, EIGHT SUPPORTING INSTITUTIONS (INSURANCE ASSOCIATIONS, CIVIL SOCIETY GROUPS, ETC.) ALSO SIGNED THE STATEMENT. -ON 20 JUNE 2017, THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION AGREED ON A NEW LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUTURE OF EXTERNAL FISHING FLEET REGULATION. OCEANA AND ITS PARTNERS IN THE EU IUU COALITION (ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE FOUNDATION, PEW AND WWF), SUCCEEDED IN HAVING ALL OUR PRIORITIES INCLUDED IN THE REVISED LAW. THE REGULATION WILL INCLUDE A PUBLIC DATABASE OF ALL FISHING AUTHORIZATIONS IN NON-EU WATERS, MAKING THE EU FLEET THE MOST TRANSPARENT IN THE WORLD. IT WILL ALSO STOP SO-CALLED ABUSIVE REFLAGGING, BY RESTRICTING AUTHORIZATIONS FOR VESSELS THAT CHANGE FLAGS RAPIDLY TO CIRCUMVENT CONSERVATION OR ENFORCEMENT MEASURES, AND IT WILL ENFORCE EU STANDARDS FOR ACTIVITIES UNDER PRIVATE AGREEMENTS. THE LATTER WILL END DECADES OF FISHING WITHOUT EU OVERSIGHT OR ADHERENCE TO EU MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS. -DURING THE 2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF THE FISHERIES TRANSPARENCY INITIATIVE (FITI) HELD IN INDONESIA ON APRIL 27TH, MORE THAN 200 PARTICIPANTS FROM GOVERNMENT, INDUSTRY, SMALL-SCALE FISHING ASSOCIATIONS, CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS, ACADEMIA AND MEDIA ADOPTED THE FIRST FITI STANDARD. THIS MARKS THE BEGINNING OF THE IMPLEMENTATION PHASE OF THE INITIATIVE THROUGH WHICH FITI COUNTRIES WILL INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AND PARTICIPATION IN FISHERIES GOVERNANCE FOR THE BENEFIT OF A MORE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF MARINE FISHERIES. RESTORING MEDITERRANEAN FISH STOCK: OCEANA SEEKS TO ENSURE THAT EU FISH STOCKS IN THE NORTH AND MEDITERRANEAN SEA ARE FISHED AT SUSTAINABLE LEVELS BY 2020. ALSO, AS PART OF THE FISHERIES WORK, OCEANA IS CAMPAIGNING FOR SUBSTANTIALLY ELIMINATING IUU AND DESTRUCTIVE FISHING FROM EU MARKETS AND FLEETS. -FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE RIPARIAN STATES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN AGREED TO A 10-YEAR ROADMAP WITH CLEAR STEPS AND TARGETS TO REVERSE OVERFISHING AND IMPLEMENT AN ECOSYSTEM-BASED APPROACH TO FISHERIES MANAGEMENT IN THE ENTIRE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. THE MEDFISH4EVER DECLARATION WAS SIGNED IN MARCH 2017 IN MALTA, DURING THE MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE ON MEDITERRANEAN FISHERIES. OCEANA PROVIDED INPUT AND ACTIVELY CONTRIBUTED TO THE DRAFTING OF THE DECLARATION, WHICH INCLUDES: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A NETWORK OF ESSENTIAL FISH HABITATS; SCIENCE-BASED MULTIANNUAL MANAGEMENT PLANS; AND THE PROTECTION OF VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS FROM DESTRUCTIVE FISHING IMPACTS. HABITAT CAMPAIGN: OCEANA AIMS TO SECURE PROTECTION FOR 20 PERCENT OF THE BALTIC SEA AND KATTEGAT, AND 10 PERCENT OF THE OTHER EUROPEAN WATERS WITH MPAS IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN (INCLUDING THE NORTH SEA) AND MEDITERRANEAN SEA BY 2020. -THE DANISH GOVERNMENT DESIGNATED SIX NEW MARINE PROTECTED AREAS COVERING 590 KM2 IN KATTEGAT, IN WHICH BOTTOM TRAWLING WILL BE BANNED. THE MPAS WILL PROTECT FRAGILE AND THREATENED SOFT BOTTOM SPECIES AND HABITATS, LIKE SEA PENS AND HAPLOOPS, WHICH ARE LARGELY UNPROTECTED THROUGHOUT EUROPEAN WATERS. OCEANA INITIATED THIS PROCESS DURING OUR BALTIC SEA EXPEDITION IN 2011, WHEN WE FOUND REMNANTS OF THESE IMPORTANT SOFT BOTTOM COMMUNITIES THAT WERE THOUGHT TO HAVE GONE EXTINCT FROM KATTEGAT. -AS A RESULT OF OCEANA'S ADVOCACY, FOUR DEEP-SEA CORAL SPECIES WILL NOW BE PROTECTED IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. THE UN'S BARCELONA CONVENTION, A MULTI-COUNTRY REGIONAL SEA CONVENTION, VOTED IN FAVOR OF ADDING FOUR ADDITIONAL CORAL SPECIES - COCKSCOMB CUP CORAL, YELLOW-TREE CORAL, YELLOW CORAL AND BAMBOO CORAL - TO THE LIST OF ENDANGERED OR THREATENED SPECIES IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. THIS ACTION WILL PROTECT THESE ANIMALS AND HELP TO ENSURE THE SURVIVAL OF MARINE LIFE THAT LIVE AND DEPEND ON THESE UNDERWATER CORAL GARDENS. -OCEANA CARRIED OUT A SUCCESSFUL EIGHT-WEEK NORTH SEA RESEARCH EXPEDITION FROM JUNE-AUGUST, DOCUMENTING SEAFLOOR HABITATS AND SPECIES IN THE WATERS OF DENMARK, GERMANY, NETHERLANDS, NORWAY, AND THE UNITED KINGDOM. THE EXPEDITION AIMED TO GATHER VALUABLE FIRST-HAND DATA FROM 16 AREAS THAT ARE KNOWN OR BELIEVED TO BE ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT, BUT FROM WHICH SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION WAS LACKING. THESE INCLUDE BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOTS, AREAS WITH THREATENED SPECIES, AND POTENTIAL AREAS OF ESSENTIAL FISH HABITAT. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO STRENGTHEN THE NETWORK OF MPAS IN THE NORTH SEA. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH: GLOBAL FISHING WATCH (GFW), LAUNCHED BY OCEANA AND ITS PARTNERS GOOGLE AND SKYTRUTH, IS THE FIRST AND ONLY FREE SOURCE OF DATA ON FISHING VESSEL TRACKING AVAILABLE TO ANYONE IN THE WORLD WITH AN INTERNET CONNECTION. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH PROVIDES A GLOBAL VIEW OF COMMERCIAL FISHING ACTIVITY, EXPOSING BOTH LEGAL AND POTENTIALLY ILLEGAL FISHING ACTIVITY. ON JULY 1, 2017, OCEANA, SKYTRUTH AND GOOGLE FORMALLY SPUN GLOBAL FISHING WATCH OFF INTO A NEW ENTITY. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH, INC. WAS SEEDED WITH STAFF AND FUNDING FROM OCEANA AND SKYTRUTH. NO MORE HIDING AT SEA: TRANSSHIPPING EXPOSED: TRANSSHIPPING CAN INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR IUU FISHING AND HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS. WORKING WITH GLOBAL FISHING WATCH, OCEANA IDENTIFIED AND PUBLICIZED MORE THAN 5,000 LIKELY OR POTENTIAL TRANSSHIPPING RENDEZVOUS AND WE IDENTIFIED GLOBAL HOTSPOTS TO ALLOW AUTHORITIES TO FOCUS THEIR RESOURCES IN THESE AREAS. WE ALSO NAMED THE TOP COUNTRIES INVOLVED AND PORTS MOST FREQUENTED BY REFRIGERATED CARGO VESSELS. WE RELEASED THE REPORT AT THE ECONOMIST'S WORLD OCEAN SUMMIT IN BALI, INDONESIA. FISHING ON THE BOUNDARIES OF LAW: IN SEPTEMBER WE RELEASED A REPORT REVEALING THAT 19 EUROPEAN VESSELS APPEARED TO BE FISHING UNLAWFULLY IN THE GAMBIA AND EQUATORIAL GUINEA. OUR REPORT SHOWS THAT EVEN VESSELS FROM COUNTRIES WITH STRONG LEGAL FRAMEWORKS CAN POTENTIALLY ENGAGE IN UNLAWFUL PRACTICES, AND CALLS FOR COUNTRIES TO MAKE THEIR VESSEL TRACKING DATA AND FISHING AGREEMENTS PUBLIC. BECAUSE OF THE REPORT, THE GAMBIA HAS ANNOUNCED IT WILL USE CONTRACTORS TO BEEF UP ENFORCEMENT AND HAS ASKED OCEANA FOR ADVICE ON AN AIS USAGE POLICY. INCREASED TRANSPARENCY: PERU: IN JUNE, OCEANA'S PERUVIAN TEAM SUCCEED IN SECURING A COMMITMENT FROM THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT TO PUBLISH PERUVIAN VMS DATA IN THE GFW PLATFORM TO INCREASE THE TRANSPARENCY OF PERU'S FISHERIES. INDONESIA: THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH GLOBAL FISHING WATCH, INDONESIA COMMITTED TO PUBLISHING THEIR VMS DATA IN THE GFW PLATFORM TO IMPROVE FISHING TRANSPARENCY. IT IS NOW AVAILABLE AS A PUBLIC WORKSPACE: HTTP://GLOBALFISHINGWATCH.ORG/INDONESIA-VMS/ PERU: MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES: -OCEANA SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH THE VICE-MINISTRY OF FISHERIES TO COOPERATE ON THE REVIEW OF EXISTING FISHERIES REGULATIONS AND THE DEFINITION OF GUIDELINES FOR FUTURE MANAGEMENT INSTRUMENTS IN SEPTEMBER 2017. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS, CON'T: | SHARK CAMPAIGN: -BECAUSE OF SMART, STRATEGIC ADVOCACY BY OCEANA, THE PERUVIAN CONGRESS RATIFIED THE FAO'S PORT STATE MEASURES TO PREVENT, DETER AND ELIMINATE ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED FISHING AGREEMENT IN JUNE 2017. ANCHOVETA RECOVERY CAMPAIGN: A SIGNIFICANT GOAL OF OCEANA IN PERU IS TO IMPROVE MANAGEMENT OF ANCHOVETA AND TO ADDRESS THE CLIMATE-RELATED IMPACTS ON THE FISHERY, PARTICULARLY THROUGH EVENTS SUCH AS EL NINO. -IN AN IMPORTANT VICTORY, OCEANA PERSUADED THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT TO SET AN ANCHOVETA QUOTA FOR THE ARTISANAL CATCH, WHICH IS INTENDED FOR DIRECT HUMAN CONSUMPTION; PREVIOUSLY, A QUOTA HAD BEEN ESTABLISHED ONLY FOR THE LARGER, INDUSTRIAL CATCH INTENDED FOR FISH MEAL AND FISH OIL REDUCTION. WITH QUOTAS FOR BOTH FLEETS, THE STOCK CAN BE BETTER MANAGED. TRANSPARENCY: OCEANA IS CAMPAIGNING TO MAKE FISH STOCK ASSESSMENTS, LANDINGS, AND MANAGEMENT PLANS TRANSPARENT TO THE PUBLIC. -THE GOVERNMENT OF PERU COMMITTED TO MAKE ITS NATIONAL VESSEL TRACKING DATA PUBLICLY AVAILABLE. THE RESULT OF OCEANA'S COLLABORATION WITH THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT TO INCREASE TRANSPARENCY OF COMMERCIAL FISHING IN PERU'S WATERS, THE SIGNED MEMORANDUM WILL START THE PROCESS TO MAKE PERU'S VESSEL MONITORING SYSTEM (VMS) DATA PUBLICLY AVAILABLE THROUGH GLOBAL FISHING WATCH, WHICH PROVIDES THE FIRST GLOBAL VIEW OF COMMERCIAL FISHING ACTIVITY. HABITAT PROTECTION: OCEANA IS PARTNERING WITH THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT TO PROTECT THE WATERS AROUND MPAS IN THE ICA AND PIURA REGIONS THROUGH IMPROVED CONTROLS OF FISHING AND TOURISM. -OCEANA SUPPORTED THE ORGANIZATION OF A MULTI-SECTORIAL WORKSHOP TO WORK ON FOUR PRIORITY ISSUES: A) JOINT ENFORCEMENT PROTOCOL AMONG SEVERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AGAINST ILLEGAL FISHING AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WITHIN MPA WATERS, B) REGULATIONS FOR SPORTS FISHING, C) WORK WITH GOVERNMENT AGENCIES ON LEGISLATION TO ENABLE THE DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF FISHERY MANAGEMENT PLANS INSIDE MPAS, AND D) REVISION OF NAUTICAL ROUTES TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF LARGE VESSEL TRAFFIC ON THE LOCAL WILDLIFE AND HABITATS. PHILIPPINES: OCEANA IN THE PHILIPPINES IS WORKING TO STOP ILLEGAL FISHING BY COMMERCIAL FISHERS IN ORDER TO REBUILD FISH POPULATIONS AND TO PROTECT THE FISH CATCHES OF THE SMALL-SCALE FISHING SECTOR. END COMMERCIAL FISHING IN TANON STRAIT: OCEANA IS SEEKING TO PREVENT COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS FROM FISHING IN TANON STRAIT AS A KEY FIRST STEP TOWARDS PREVENTING ILLEGAL FISHING IN MUNICIPAL WATERS NATIONWIDE. -AS A RESULT OF OCEANA ADVOCACY THE TANON STRAIT IS THE COUNTRY'S VERY FIRST PROTECTED SEASCAPE TO REQUIRE VESSEL MONITORING FOR ALL TRANSITING COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS. VESSEL MONITORING, A KEY MEASURE FOR EFFECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT, WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ALL COMMERCIAL FISHING VESSELS ENTERING THE TANON STRAIT. ONE OF THE PHILIPPINES' LARGEST MARINE PROTECTED AREAS; -OCEANA PUSHED FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF THE FIRST SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO PROSECUTE ILLEGAL COMMERCIAL FISHING IN THE TANON STRAIT IN NOVEMBER 2017. PROTECT BENHAM RISE SEAFLOOR HABITAT: -THE BIODIVERSITY MANAGEMENT BUREAU DRAFTED A MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK FOR BENHAM RISE WITH BENHAM BANK AS A PROTECTED NO-TAKE ZONE AS KEY FIRST STEP FOR EVENTUAL ISSUANCE OF A PRESIDENTIAL PROCLAMATION. -OCEANA PUSHED FOR THE SENATE BILL ON BENHAM RISE TO BE ANCHORED ON A SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK THAT INTEGRATES STRONG CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR BENHAM BANK. THE MARINE PROTECTED AREAS SUPPORT NETWORK AND OTHER KEY STAKEHOLDERS ISSUED STATEMENT OF SUPPORT TO PROTECT BENHAM BANK, AS A RESULT OF OCEANA ADVOCACY. INSTITUTIONALIZING VESSEL MONITORING MECHANISMS (VMM): FOCUSED ON ACHIEVING EVIDENCE OF "ON THE WATER" VESSEL MONITORING FOR COMMERCIAL VESSELS THROUGHOUT TANON STRAIT AND OTHER KEY FISHERIES AREAS BY, OCEANA WORKED WITH THE FISHERIES BUREAU TO DRAFT EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTING RULES ON VESSEL MONITORING FOR VESSELS WEIGHING 3.1 TO 30 GROSS TONS. BAN DESTRUCTIVE FISHING GEAR: OCEANA PREPARED A POLICY BRIEF ON THE BIOLOGICAL, HABITAT AND ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF BOTTOM TRAWL FISHERIES IN THE PHILIPPINES AS PART OF OUR CAMPAIGN TO BAN THE USE OF BOTTOM TRAWLS IN THE PHILIPPINES. |
