| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | -ALL 117 SEAMOUNTS IN CHILE WERE DECLARED OFF LIMITS TO BOTTOM TRAWLING OR OTHER BOTTOM-TOUCHING GEAR. 68,066 SQUARE KILOMETERS OF CHILE'S WATERS ARE NOW PROTECTED FROM BOTTOM TRAWLING. -OCEANA CONDUCTED THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE SCIENTIFIC OCEANIC EXPEDITION EVER DONE IN CHILE'S REMOTE JUAN FERNANDEZ ISLANDS. REBUILDING FISH POPULATIONS: JACK MACKEREL AND COMMON HAKE ARE AMONG THE MOST OVERFISHED CHILEAN FISHERIES. OCEANA IN CHILE IS CAMPAIGNING TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR THESE TWO SPECIES IN ORDER TO START THEIR RECOVERY IN 2015. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE OUR 2014 ACHIEVEMENTS: -IN JANUARY, THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT MADE THE MOST IMPORTANT DECISION TO START REBUILDING CHILE'S FISHERIES WHEN IT ANNOUNCED QUOTAS FOR COMMERCIAL FISHERIES FOR 2014. FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE GOVERNMENT IS USING THE NEW MECHANISM BASED ON MANDATORY ADVICE FROM SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEES. THIS MECHANISM IS A DIRECT RESULT OF YEARS OF CAMPAIGNING FROM OCEANA. -SCIENCE-BASED FISHING QUOTAS WERE IMPLEMENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME, PRODUCING BIG CATCH REDUCTIONS FOR FOURTEEN OF THE SIXTEEN SPECIES SUBJECT TO ANNUAL FISHING LIMITS. -THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED THE ADOPTION OF A COMPREHENSIVE NATIONAL PLAN AGAINST ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING. -CHILE SIGNED THE UNITED NATIONS AGREEMENT ON STRADDLING FISH STOCKS AND HIGHLY MIGRATORY FISH STOCKS (ALSO KNOWN AS NEW YORK CONVENTION). -OCEANA HELD A MAJOR SEMINAR, FISHERIES CRISIS: THE CHALLENGE OF TURNING THE TIDE. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN CHILE, OCEANA'S SEMINAR BROUGHT TOGETHER GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES AND OFFICIALS, NAVY OFFICERS, WORLD FISHERIES EXPERTS AND ACADEMICS, AND LEADERS AND MEMBERS OF THE ARTISANAL AND INDUSTRIAL FISHING SECTORS. CLEAN ENERGY: -THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LARGEST COAL PLANT EVER PLANNED FOR SOUTH AMERICA WAS INDEFINITELY POSTPONED. THIS VICTORY WAS DUE LARGELY TO OPPOSITION BY THE LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZED AND SUPPORTED BY OCEANA. SALMON FARMING: -OCEANA IN CHILE IS WORKING TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO CLOSE A STILL UNPROTECTED AREA OF 11,800 KM2 IN TORTEL IN CHILEAN PATAGONIA TO SALMON FARMING. OCEANA IS ALSO WORKING TO BAN THE USE OF CHEMICALS FOR THE TREATMENT OF SEA LICE ON FARMED SALMON AND TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ANTIBIOTICS IN SALMON FARMING. -OCEANA STOPPED THE GRANTING OF SALMON FARMING CONCESSIONS, DESPITE THE PRESSURE FROM THE SALMON AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY. -OCEANA FORMALLY REQUESTED THAT THE GOVERNMENT BAN THE USE OF CHEMICALS IN THE TREATMENT OF SEA LICE ON FARMED SALMON THAT CAN BE HARMFUL TO NATIVE MARINE SPECIES. -OCEANA ALSO FORMALLY REQUESTED THAT THE GOVERNMENT REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF ANTIBIOTICS USED PER KILOGRAM OF SALMON BY 50 PERCENT FROM 2012 LEVELS. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | EUROPE: OCEANA IN EUROPE WORKS ON FISHERY MANAGEMENT, HABITAT AND SPECIES PROTECTION, TRADE AND SUBSIDIES, AND POLLUTION AND ENERGY. FISHERY MANAGEMENT: OCEANA IN EUROPE IS CAMPAIGNING TO REBUILD EUROPEAN FISHERIES TO SUSTAINABLE LEVELS BY 2020, AND INCREASE FISH BIOMASS AT SEA BY AT LEAST 40 PERCENT ABOVE 2012 LEVELS. IN DOING SO, OUR WORK FOCUSES ON THREE AREAS: 1) TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES AND QUOTAS; 2) ENFORCEMENT; AND 3) LARGE PELAGIC FISH AND SHARKS. BELOW ARE KEY 2014 ACHIEVEMENTS IN EACH OF THESE WORK AREAS: TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES AND QUOTAS: -THE COUNCIL OF FISHERIES MINISTERS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU) VOTED IN FAVOR OF PROHIBITING FISHERIES FOR ROUGHLY 20 SPECIES OF VULNERABLE DEEP-SEA SHARKS IN EU WATERS AROUND THE CANARY ISLANDS AND MADEIRA, WHERE DEEP-SEA SHARKS ARE STILL FISHED. -THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT ENACTED A NEW COMMON FISHERIES POLICY (CFP), WHICH INCLUDES A BAN OF THE DISCARD OF PELAGIC FISH, WHICH WILL GO INTO EFFECT STARTING IN 2015. -THE EUROPEAN UNION, NORTH EAST ATLANTIC FISHERIES COMMISSION, AND THE GENERAL FISHERIES COMMISSION FOR THE MEDITERRANEAN ADOPTED MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR 5 SPECIES. -THE EU COMMISSION PROPOSED A MULTI-SPECIES MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR BOTTOM TRAWLING FISHERIES ON DEMERSAL STOCKS IN THE STRAIT OF SICILY. -MANAGEMENT MEASURES FOR THE ROUGHHEAD GRENADIER WERE ADOPTED IN BOTH EU WATERS AND INTERNATIONAL NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC WATERS. THE ROUGHHEAD GRENADIER WAS A PREVIOUSLY UNMANAGED DEEP-SEA SPECIES. -THE NORTH EAST ATLANTIC FISHERIES COMMISSION ADOPTED A NEW RECOMMENDATION TO PROTECT VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS, E.G. CORAL AND SPONGES, FROM THE IMPACT OF BOTTOM GEARS, MAINLY BOTTOM TRAWLING. -HIGH-LEVEL MEDITERRANEAN OFFICIALS ADOPTED NEW BINDING COMMITMENTS TO END OVERFISHING IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA BY MANAGING THE STOCKS AT MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD (MSY) LEVELS, AND PRESERVING MARINE ECOSYSTEMS AND FRAGILE HABITATS. ENFORCEMENT: OCEANA IN EUROPE MADE SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS TOWARDS GETTING THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION TO PROPOSE CLOSING LOOPHOLES IN THE EU CONTROL AND ENFORCEMENT FRAMEWORK. -THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT PASSED A LAW ADOPTING STRONG SANCTIONS AGAINST SPANISH NATIONALS GUILTY OF ANY KIND OF INVOLVEMENT IN IUU FISHING. LARGE PELAGIC FISH AND SHARKS: -THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ATLANTIC TUNAS (ICCAT) AGREED THAT BLUEFIN TUNA QUOTA FOR 2015, 2016, AND 2017 WOULD REMAIN WITHIN SCIENTIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS. HABITAT PROTECTION: OCEANA IN EUROPE'S OVERALL HABITAT OBJECTIVE IS TO SECURE THE PROTECTION FOR AT LEAST 10 PERCENT OF THE EUROPEAN WATERS BY 2020. IN 2014, SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS WAS MADE TOWARDS THAT GOAL. NEW MARINE PROTECTED AREAS WERE NOMINATED IN THE BALTICS, THE NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC, AND IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. MARINE PROTECTED AREAS WERE ALSO INCREASED IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN AND IN THE MEDITERRANEAN. -FINLAND IS MOVING TO PROTECT THREE OF OCEANA'S PROPOSED SITES. -SWEDEN IS IN THE PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING A NEW PROTECTED AREA, WHICH INCLUDES A MARINE AREA, NEAR THE ISLAND OF MARSTRAND, IN KATTEGAT, WHICH IS PART OF OCEANA'S PROPOSAL. -THE DANISH NATURE AGENCY ANNOUNCED THE DESIGNATION OF NEW MARINE PROTECTED AREAS IN KATTEGAT. THEY WILL PROTECT SOFT BOTTOM HABITATS, BASED ON OCEANA'S FINDINGS FROM 2011 AND 2012 EXPEDITIONS. -THE PORTUGUESE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE SEA ANNOUNCED PROTECTION FOR THREE SUBMARINE CANYONS AND SEVERAL SEAMOUNTS IN THEIR WATERS, INCLUDING TWO PROPOSED BY OCEANA. -AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF PRESSURE FROM OCEANA, THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT BANNED TRAWLING IN A CORALLIGENOUS REEF LOCATED EAST OF CABRERA AND TWO BALEARIC SEAMOUNTS, ALL OF WHICH ARE AREAS OF GREAT ECOLOGICAL VALUE. -THE GOVERNMENT OF PORTUGAL ANNOUNCED A PLAN TO CREATE UP TO 400,000 SQUARE KILOMETERS OF MARINE PROTECTED AREAS. OCEANA STUDIED THE AREA IN 2011 AND 2012, AND COLLABORATED WITH PORTUGUESE SCIENTISTS AND INSTITUTIONS TO IMPROVE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE OF THESE AREAS. -SPAIN APPROVED REQUIREMENTS FOR PROTECTING THE BALEARIC SEAMOUNTS AND WILL CREATE A NEW MARINE PROTECTED AREA. SPAIN WILL NOW HAVE ONE OF THE LARGEST PROTECTED MARINE SURFACES IN EUROPE. EXPEDITIONS: OCEANA IN EUROPE CONDUCTED TWO EXPEDITIONS IN 2014. -ONE EXPEDITION DOCUMENTED THREE SEAMOUNTS THAT LIE BETWEEN THE BALEARIC ISLANDS OF MALLORCA, IBIZA AND FORMENTERA. -THE SECOND ONE WAS A MONTH-LONG EXPEDITION TO THE CANARY ISLANDS AND WAS SUPPORTED OF THE SPANISH BIODIVERSITY FOUNDATION AND THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, FOOD AND THE ENVIRONMENT. SPECIES PROTECTION: OCEANA IN EUROPE ACHIEVED ITS OVERALL SPECIES PROTECTION OBJECTIVE OF GETTING 20 NEW MARINE SPECIES PROTECTED UNDER NATIONAL, EUROPEAN AND INTERNATIONAL LAW. -THE SPANISH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALLY REVIEWED THE SPANISH NATIONAL CATALOGUE FOR THREATENED SPECIES AND ADDED 10 SPECIES TO IT. LISTED SPECIES CANNOT BE CAUGHT IN SPANISH EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE WATERS, NOR CAN THEY BE HARMED, KILLED OR SOLD, DEAD OR ALIVE. -TEN NEW DEEP-SEA HABITATS WERE INCLUDED IN THE NORTH EAST ATLANTIC FISHERIES COMMISSION /OSPAR LIST OF VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS. TRADE AND SUBSIDIES: OCEANA IS WORKING TO REDUCE AND ELIMINATE FISHERIES SUBSIDIES THAT LEAD TO INCREASED OVERCAPACITY AND OVERFISHING. -THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE FISHERIES COUNCIL AGREED ON NEW CONTROLS FOR THE EUROPEAN MARITIME AND FISHERIES FUND. THIS WILL SHIFT SPENDING TOWARDS MORE BENEFICIAL FISHERIES MEASURES FOR THE PERIOD OF 2014-2020. THE EU ALSO REDUCED HARMFUL SUBSIDIES IN HIDDEN STATE AID MECHANISMS BY 30 PERCENT AND INCREASED FUNDING FOR BENEFICIAL MEASURES (E.G. ECOSYSTEM RESTORATION, MARINE PROTECTED AREAS, CONTROL AND ENFORCEMENT) BY 60 PERCENT. POLLUTION AND ENERGY: OCEANA IN EUROPE IS WORKING TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF NEW OIL AND GAS PROJECTS AND STOP MERCURY DUMPING IN EU WATERS. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE 2014 ACHIEVEMENTS. -THE BALEARIC ISLAND PORT AUTHORITY AGREED NOT TO DUMP THE MOST MERCURY-POLLUTED PORTION OF THEIR DREDGE SEDIMENT INTO THE SEA. -THE SPANISH MINISTRY FOR FOOD, AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT PRODUCED A NEGATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR A GAS AND AN OIL PROJECTS. ONE OF THE MAIN CONCERNS WAS THE HIGH CETACEAN MIGRATION IN THE PROPOSED AREAS. THESE TWO PROJECTS WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A | BELIZE: OCEANA IN BELIZE IS WORKING TO PREVENT OFFSHORE OIL EXPLORATION AND DRILLING IN BELIZE WATERS. OCEANA IN BELIZE IS ALSO WORKING TO PROTECT JUVENILE FISH AND TO BAN GILLNETS. OCEANA IN BELIZE IS ALSO OPPOSING THE PUERTO AZUL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, WHICH IS PLANNING TO DEVELOP A MASSIVE RESORT NEAR THE GREAT BLUE HOLE, A UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE, AND OTHER PROTECTED AREAS. BANNING OFFSHORE OIL EXPLORATION AND DRILLING: OCEANA'S LARGEST CAMPAIGN IN BELIZE IS TO BAN OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING IN BELIZEAN WATERS. WE OBTAINED SIGNIFICANT NEW SUPPORT AND ATTENTION TOWARD OUR GOAL OF OBTAINING A BAN ON OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING. KEY ACHIEVEMENTS ARE HIGHLIGHTED BELOW. -OCEANA TOOK THE FIRST LADY OF BELIZE AND HER 9-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ON THEIR FIRST TRIP TO THE GREAT BLUE HOLE AND HALFMOON CAYE. THIS VISIT GENERATED WIDESPREAD NATIONAL AND REGIONAL MEDIA COVERAGE. AS A RESULT OF THE TRIP, THE FIRST LADY AND HER DAUGHTER HAVE BECOME VOCAL ADVOCATES FOR BELIZE'S MARINE RESOURCES. -OCEANA CULTIVATED SUPPORT AGAINST OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING FROM COMMUNITY AND OPINION LEADERS, ELECTED OFFICIALS, AND CLOSE RELATIVES OF THE PRIME MINISTER. -OCEANA SPONSORED A FOUR-DAY BIKE RIDE ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WITH STOPS IN EVERY MAJOR MUNICIPALITY. MORE THAN 200 CYCLISTS PARTICIPATED, INCLUDING THE PRIME MINISTER'S BROTHER AND NIECE. EACH STOP WAS BROADCAST LIVE ON NATIONAL RADIO. TWO MAYORS PUBLICLY ENDORSED OCEANA'S CAMPAIGN DURING THE EVENT. -OCEANA HOSTED OUR FIRST ANNUAL "WAVEMAKERS" RALLY. MORE THAN 100 BELIZEANS FROM EVERY DISTRICT IN THE COUNTRY ATTENDED THE EVENT, INCLUDING LEADERS OF IMPORTANT FISHING AND TOURISM GROUPS. -OCEANA CONTINUED TO PURSUE LEGAL ACTION TO DEFEND OUR LEGAL VICTORY TO INVALIDATE EXISTING OIL DRILLING LEASES IN MARINE AREAS FROM A GOVERNMENT APPEAL ON OUR CASE. FISHERIES: -OCEANA IN BELIZE IS CAMPAIGNING TO BAN GILLNETS IN NATIONAL WATERS BY 2016 AND TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO ESTABLISH CATCH SIZE LIMITS FOR THREE FISH SPECIES WITH HIGH LEVELS OF JUVENILE CATCH RATES. -OCEANA IN BELIZE OBTAINED THE ENDORSEMENT OF A BAN FROM THE BONEFISH TARPON TRUST, WHICH REPRESENTS THE SPORTSFISHERMEN OF BELIZE. -OCEANA CONDUCTED OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY WITH SMALL-SCALE FISHERS AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. PUERTO AZUL PROJECT: -OCEANA BELIZE, IN CONJUNCTION WITH SEVERAL CONSERVATION AND TOURISM GROUPS, SENT A LETTER TO THE DIRECTOR OF THE UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE INFORMING HIM THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF BELIZE IS ALLOWING THE DEVELOPERS TO CONDUCT ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE ACTIVITIES, DESPITE A LACK OF OFFICIAL APPROVAL FOR THE PROJECT. OCEANA'S LETTER CREATED "OFFICIAL NOTICE" OF PUERTO AZUL, AND AS A RESULT, THE PROJECT WILL BE ON THE WORLD HERITAGE CENTRE FORMAL AGENDA FOR ITS NEXT DELEGATION VISIT TO BELIZE IN JANUARY 2015. PHILIPPINES: IN 2014, OCEANA EXPANDED AND OPENED A NEW OFFICE IN THE PHILIPPINES. OCEANA IN THE PHILIPPINES IS WORKING TO IMPROVE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT, TO REDUCE UNINTENDED KILLING AND DISCARDING, AND TO PROTECT NURSERIES AND VITAL HABITATS FOR SPAWNING FROM DESTRUCTIVE FISHING GEAR. OCEANA IN THE PHILIPPINES IS ALSO PUSHING FOR STRONGER ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING LAWS, PARTICULARLY THOSE THAT PROTECT SMALL-SCALE FROM INDUSTRIAL FISHERS. KEY PROGRESS IN 2014 IS HIGHLIGHTED BELOW. -OCEANA IN THE PHILIPPINES HOSTED A CONFERENCE, "THE ROAD TO SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES GOVERNANCE," TO DISCUSS VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES ON FISHERIES IN THE COUNTRY. THE CONFERENCE BROUGHT TOGETHER STAKEHOLDERS FROM THE GOVERNMENT, THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, ACADEMIA, AND OTHER RELEVANT SECTORS. PARTICIPANTS DISCUSSED CHALLENGES, IMPACTS, AND PROPOSALS ON FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND SHARED BEST PRACTICES IN SUSTAINABLE FISHERIES GOVERNANCE AND EFFECTIVE LAW ENFORCEMENT. -OCEANA WAS A CO-CONVENER AND PARTICIPANT IN THE PHILIPPINES SHARK SUMMIT IN CEBU. THIS EVENT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS IN RAISING THE THREATS TO SHARKS, ESPECIALLY FINNING. THIS EVENT RESULTED IN OCEANA'S FIRST MEDIA HITS IN THE PHILIPPINES. -THE PHILIPPINES MADE APPROPRIATE CHANGES IN ITS FISHERIES MANAGEMENT LAWS IN RESPONSE TO THE EUROPEAN UNION'S ISSUANCE OF A "YELLOW CARD" TO THE COUNTRY FOR LACK OF ACTION AGAINST ILLEGAL FISHING. OCEANA JOINED IN A GROUP LETTER AND PUBLISHED AN ADVERTISEMENT IN A KEY NEWSPAPER IN SUPPORT OF THE AMENDMENTS. -OCEANA WAS AN INTERVENOR IN A CASE AGAINST THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES. THE BUREAU WAS SUED BY COMMERCIAL FISHERS WHO WANTED TO OVERTURN THE BAN ON HULBOT-HULBOT ("MODIFIED DANISH SEINE") GEAR. OCEANA ASSISTED THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES AND AQUATIC RESOURCES BY SUPPORTING THE PHILIPPINES ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE CENTER AS INTERVENORS IN THE CASE. BRAZIL: IN 2014, OCEANA EXPANDED AND OPENED A NEW OFFICE IN BRAZIL. OCEANA'S OVERARCHING GOAL IN BRAZIL IS TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO MANAGE FISHERIES RESPONSIBLY. OUR CAMPAIGNS IN BRAZIL ARE ALSO FOCUSED ON THE THREE PILLARS OF SMART FISHERIES MANAGEMENT - WHICH ESTABLISHES SCIENCE-BASED CATCH LIMITS, REDUCES BYCATCH AND PROTECTS HABITAT. KEY PROGRESS IN 2014 IS HIGHLIGHTED BELOW. -OCEANA IN BRAZIL BEGAN EXPEDITION PREPARATIONS TO SURVEY ONE OF BRAZIL'S MOST PRODUCTIVE DEEPWATER FISHING REGIONS, THE SOUTHERN SHELF BREAK AND SLOPE, WHERE SEVERAL FISHERIES ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE COLLAPSED. THE RESULTS OF THE EXPEDITION WILL CONTRIBUTE INVALUABLE INFORMATION FOR THE RECOVERY PLANS FOR SEVERAL VULNERABLE DEEP SEA FISH SPECIES. -OCEANA IN BRAZIL CONDUCTED RESEARCH AND ANALYSIS TO IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES TO DEVELOP SARDINE AND SKIPJACK TUNA CAMPAIGNS. SARDINES AND SHIPJACK TUNA ARE TWO FISHERIES THAT REPRESENT AROUND A QUARTER OF BRAZIL'S TOTAL MARINE LANDINGS. -OCEANA IN BRAZIL ADVOCATED FOR A NEW PROPOSAL BY THE BRAZILIAN ENVIRONMENT MINISTRY TO PROTECT CERTAIN FISH SPECIES SO THAT THE PROPOSAL DOES NOT HAMPER FUTURE REFORMS TO IMPROVE FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND REBUILD FISH STOCKS. THE ENVIRONMENT MINISTRY IS CONSIDERING ESTABLISHING A RED LIST OF FISH SPECIES FOR WHICH NO FISHING WOULD BE ALLOWED. WHILE THIS INITIATIVE IS WELL INTENTIONED, SUCH A MEASURE WOULD AFFECT THOUSANDS OF FISHING VESSELS GENERATING A FRONTAL OPPOSITION FROM THE SECTOR THAT COULD RESULT IN THE COMPLETE WITHDRAWAL OF THE PROPOSAL OR THE ELIMINATION OF THE MINISTRY'S AUTHORITY TO LIST MARINE FISH SPECIES FOR PROTECTION. WITHDRAWAL OF THE PROPOSAL WOULD DEPRIVE SPECIES FROM THE PROTECTION THEY NEED AND ELIMINATION OF THE MINISTRY'S AUTHORITY WOULD BE A MAJOR STEP BACKWARDS FOR FISHERIES MANAGEMENT. OCEANA RAISED THESE CONCERNS WITH THE ENVIRONMENT MINISTRY. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4B, DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS | SCIENCE-BASED CATCH LIMITS: OCEANA IS WORKING TO GET THE GOVERNMENT TO SET AND ENFORCE SCIENCE-BASED LIMITS TO GOVERN THE AMOUNT OF FISH ALLOWED TO BE TAKEN OUT OF THE SEAS. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE OCEANA'S ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2014. -OCEANA'S ADVOCACY FOR SUSTAINABLE FISHING AND BETTER MANAGEMENT OF STELLER SEA LION PREY NEEDS RESULTED IN THE 2014 FISHING SEASON STARTING WITH THE FIRST-EVER SEPARATE QUOTAS FOR THE PACIFIC COD STOCKS IN THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND BERING SEA. -THE CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME COMMISSION VOTED TO SET THE HERRING QUOTA AT 2,500 TONS, REPRESENTING 4.2 PERCENT OF THE ESTIMATED BIOMASS. -THE PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL PROHIBITED THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW FISHERIES FOR FORAGE FISH OFF THE WEST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES UNLESS OR UNTIL IT CAN BE SHOWN THAT SUCH FISHERIES WILL NOT HARM THE HEALTH OF THE ECOSYSTEM. -FIVE SPECIES OF SHARKS BECAME SUBJECT TO GLOBAL TRADE PROTECTIONS UNDER THE CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN ENDANGERED SPECIES OF WILD FAUNA AND FLORA (CITES) IN AN EFFORT TO PREVENT THEIR OVEREXPLOITATION. -MASSACHUSETTS BECAME THE NINTH STATE TO REGULATE THE TRADE OF SHARK FINS WITHIN THEIR STATE BORDERS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD IN THE FIGHT FOR GLOBAL SHARK CONSERVATION. MASSACHUSETTS JOINS CALIFORNIA, DELAWARE, HAWAII, ILLINOIS, MARYLAND, NEW YORK, OREGON, WASHINGTON, AND THE U.S. TERRITORIES OF GUAM, AMERICAN SAMOA, AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE NORTHERN MARIANAS ISLANDS. -THE NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION REMOVED ITS CHALLENGE TO CALIFORNIA, MARYLAND AND WASHINGTON'S SHARK FIN LAWS. IN 2013, NOAA CHALLENGED STATE SHARK FIN BANS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, SUGGESTING THAT THEY MIGHT BE PREEMPTED, OR OVERRULED, BY FEDERAL LAW. BYCATCH: THE UNINTENTIONAL CATCH OF MARINE SPECIES IN FISHING FOR TARGETED SPECIES (BYCATCH) UNDERMINES SUCCESSFUL FISHERIES MANAGEMENT AND WASTES THE OCEAN'S LIVING MARINE RESOURCES. OCEANA IS ADVOCATING TO REDUCE BYCATCH USING A THREE-STEP APPROACH: COUNT, CAP, CONTROL. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE OUR 2014 ACHIEVEMENTS. -THE NEW ENGLAND FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL APPROVED AN ACTION IMPLEMENTING THE FEDERALLY MANDATED STANDARDIZED BYCATCH REPORTING METHODOLOGY. IN ITS FINAL APPROVAL THE COUNCIL INCLUDED CLEAR GUIDANCE TO THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE THAT BYCATCH INFORMATION SHOULD BE SPECIFIC TO PARTICULAR STOCKS OF FISH AND CONNECTED TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE FISHERIES. -THE U.S. GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED IT WILL BETTER MONITOR THE AMOUNT AND TYPE OF WASTED CATCH IN GULF AND SOUTHEAST REGION FISHERIES. -THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA RELEASED AN OPINION THAT WILL REQUIRE THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE TO ESTABLISH A STANDARDIZED SYSTEM FOR COUNTING AND REPORTING THE AMOUNT OF BYCATCH IN COMMERCIAL FISHERIES FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO THE CANADIAN BORDER. -THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE ANNOUNCED EMERGENCY ACTIONS TO PROTECT ENDANGERED SPERM WHALES FROM THE CALIFORNIA SWORDFISH AND THRESHER SHARK DRIFT GILLNET FISHERY, WHOSE MILE-LONG FLOATING NETS INCIDENTALLY CAPTURE AND DROWN THESE ENDANGERED ANIMALS. -THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CLOSED OFF PART OF THE GULF OF MEXICO AND ATLANTIC WATERS OFF NORTH CAROLINA FROM LONGLINE FISHING DURING THE SPRING SPAWNING SEASON FOR BLUEFIN TUNA. THE GOVERNMENT ALSO PLACED STRICT LIMITS ON BLUEFIN TUNA BYCATCH AND REQUIRES LONGLINE FISHING VESSELS TO IMPROVE DATA COLLECTION AND MONITORING. -OCEANA LAUNCHED THE "DUSKY'S BUCKET LIST" CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT DUSKY SHARK BYCATCH. POPULATIONS OFF THE COAST OF THE ATLANTIC COAST ARE ESTIMATED TO HAVE DECLINED BY 98 PERCENT DURING THE LAST 40 YEARS AS A RESULT OF OVERFISHING AND BYCATCH. THE STORY OF "DUSKY THE SHARK" WAS TOLD THROUGH CARTOON STRIPS AND COSTUME SHARK APPEARANCES DURING DISCOVERY CHANNEL'S SHARK WEEK. PROTECT HABITAT: OCEANA IS PROTECTING THE MOST IMPORTANT AND PRODUCTIVE MARINE AREAS TO INCREASE THE BIODIVERSITY AND ABUNDANCE OF THE OCEANS. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE OUR 2014 ACHIEVEMENTS. -OCEANA WON IMPORTANT VICTORIES FOR LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES IN BOTH THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC OCEANS. THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHED THE LARGEST CRITICAL HABITAT DESIGNATION TO DATE, PROTECTING 685 MILES OF NESTING BEACHES FOR LOGGERHEAD SEA TURTLES AND 300,000 SQUARE MILES OF OCEAN HABITAT IN THE ATLANTIC AND GULF OF MEXICO. THE GOVERNMENT ALSO CLOSED MORE THAN 25,000 SQUARE MILES OFF OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA TO THE DRIFT GILLNET FISHERY THAT TARGETS SWORDFISH BUT CATCHES SEA TURTLES AS BYCATCH. -THE NATIONAL MARINE FISHERIES SERVICE UPHELD PROTECTIONS FOR 12,620 SQUARE MILE OF EXISTING CONSERVATION AREA IN ORDER TO PROTECT OVERFISHED ROCKFISH POPULATIONS OFF THE WEST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES. -THE NEW ENGLAND FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL AGREED TO ALLOCATE $800,000 TO SUPPORT FISHERY RESEARCH IN THE STRUGGLING GROUND FISH FISHERY FOR COD, HADDOCK AND FLOUNDER. SEAFOOD FRAUD AND TRACEABILITY: OCEANA IS WORKING TO REQUIRE TRACEABILITY FOR ALL SEAFOOD TO PREVENT SEAFOOD MISLABELING AND KEEP ILLEGALLY CAUGHT FISH OUT OF THE U.S. MARKET, AND PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION TO CONSUMERS ABOUT THEIR SEAFOOD PURCHASES. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE OUR 2014 SEAFOOD FRAUD ACHIEVEMENTS. -IN JULY, PRESIDENT OBAMA ANNOUNCED AN INITIATIVE TO COMBAT ILLEGAL, UNREPORTED AND UNREGULATED (IUU) FISHING AND ESTABLISHED A PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCE. THIS WAS IN LARGE PART THANKS TO OCEANA'S RECOMMENDATION. IN DECEMBER, THE TASK FORCE DELIVERED ITS DRAFT RECOMMENDATIONS, WHICH WERE HAILED AS BEING A STRONG AND ROBUST FIRST STEP. -IN CALIFORNIA, STATE LEGISLATION (S.B. 1138) THAT WOULD REQUIRE ACCURATE LABELING OF ALL SEAFOOD SOLD IN CALIFORNIA WAS PASSED BY THE STATE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY. ALTHOUGH CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN SUPPORTS BETTER LABELING OF SEAFOOD, HE VETOED THE BILL FOR TECHNICAL REASONS. OCEANA IS WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE TO MOVE CALIFORNIA TOWARDS IMPROVED SEAFOOD LABELING IN 2015. -OCEANA RELEASED A GOOGLE MAP TOOL TO ILLUSTRATE THE GLOBAL REACH OF SEAFOOD FRAUD. THIS MAP NOW SERVES AS THE MOST CURRENT AND COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF THE SEAFOOD FRAUD LITERATURE AND CAN BE ACCESSED EASILY BY ANYONE WITH A COMPUTER AND INTERNET SERVICE. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH: AT THE 2014 IUCN WORLD PARKS CONGRESS IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, OCEANA, GOOGLE AND SKYTRUTH LAUNCHED THE SUCCESSFUL PROTOTYPE OF A NEW BIG DATA TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM, GLOBAL FISHING WATCH. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH LEVERAGES SATELLITE DATA TO CREATE THE FIRST GLOBAL VIEW OF COMMERCIAL FISHING. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH CREATES AN UNPRECEDENTED, ONLINE, OPEN-ACCESS CLEARINGHOUSE OF FISHING VESSEL DATA THAT WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR CITIZENS, ACTIVISTS, SCIENTISTS, GOVERNMENTS, HONEST FISHERS AND OTHERS TO TRACK AND LEARN ABOUT GLOBAL FISHING ACTIVITY. A PUBLIC RELEASE VERSION IS CURRENTLY IN DEVELOPMENT. ENERGY: -OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING AND OIL POLLUTION ARE DAMAGING TO MARINE LIFE AND THE POLLUTION FROM BURNING FOSSIL FUELS IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND OCEAN ACIDIFICATION. -STOPPING THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING AND EXPLORATION OCEANA IS WORKING TO STOP THE EXPANSION OF OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING ALONG THE EAST COAST OF THE UNITED STATES AND TO PREVENT OFFSHORE OIL DRILLING IN THE ARCTIC. HIGHLIGHTED BELOW ARE OUR KEY 2014 ACHIEVEMENTS. -AS A RESULT OF OCEANA'S ADVOCACY, 12 U.S. SENATORS, 53 U.S. REPRESENTATIVES, AND 83 STATE LEGISLATORS ARE PUBLICLY OPPOSING OFFSHORE OIL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT. ADDITIONALLY, 49 TOWNS PASSED RESOLUTIONS OPPOSING ATLANTIC DRILLING. -NO NEW LEGISLATIVE OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS TO EXPAND OFFSHORE OIL LEASING OR DRILLING WERE ENACTED INTO LAW, DESPITE ATTEMPTS IN CONGRESS TO UNDO THE PROTECTIONS. -THE BUREAU OF OCEAN ENERGY MANAGEMENT DID NOT COMMENCE SEISMIC TESTING IN 2014 AND NO PERMITS TO ALLOW SEISMIC BLASTING IN THE ATLANTIC IN 2014 HAVE BEEN APPROVED. -SHELL'S NEW CEO ANNOUNCED THAT THE COMPANY WILL NOT PURSUE ANY EXPLORATION DRILLING IN THE ARCTIC OCEAN IN 2014. THIS MARKS THE EIGHTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR IN WHICH SHELL HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DRILL EXPLORATION WELLS ON LEASES IT OWNS IN THE US ARCTIC OCEAN. -OIL COMPANIES (ARMSTRONG, CONOCO-PHILIPS, ENCANA, FORSGREN, AND TOTAL) HAVE LET THEIR LEASES, IN THE BEAUFORT SEA NEAR ALASKA, EXPIRE. THIS REPRESENTS ROUGHLY HALF OF THE LEASES PURCHASED IN THE BEAUFORT SEA. SHELL OWNS NEARLY ALL OF THE REMAINING LEASES, IN WHOLE OR PART. |

THE GOAL OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO SUPPORT THE RESTORATION AND MAINTENANCE OF HEALTHY ECOSYSTEM STATES AND THRIVING HUMAN COMMUNITIES AS WELL AS THE IMPROVEMENT OF WHOLE SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS. -EXPOSING CALIFORNIA'S DIRTY LITTLE SECRET: THE TRUTH ABOUT DRIFT GILLNETS OFF OUR COAST. -DRIFT GILLNETS, MEANT FOR SWORDFISH AND THRESHER SHARKS OFF THE COAST OF CALIFORNIA ENTANGLE, INJURE AND DROWN ICONIC MARINE LIFE. THIS REPORT DETAILS THE DEADLY TOLL DRIFT GILLNETS TAKE ON MARINE LIFE, AND WHY BETTER GREAT TYPES SHOULD BE USED. -FROZEN FUTURE: SHELL'S ONGOING GAMBLE IN THE U.S. ARCTIC ROYAL DUTCH SHELL'S UNITED STATES OFFSHORE ARCTIC DRILLING PLANS HAVE BEEN A FAILURE DESPITE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE, TO DATE, IN EXCESS OF $5 BILLION. THIS REPORT WILL HELP INVESTORS SCRUTINIZE SHELL'S ASSESSMENT OF SUCH RISKS AND THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO MITIGATE AND MANAGE THEM IN ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE POTENTIAL RETURN PROVIDES SUFFICIENT JUSTIFICATION TO CONTINUE. GIVE MEDITERRANEAN SWORDFISH A FUTURE: ACCORDING TO AN ASSESSMENT CARRIED OUT BY SCIENTISTS IN 2014, THE MEDITERRANEAN SWORDFISH STOCK IS OVERFISHED; IT HAS DECLINED STEEPLY SINCE THE 1980S, FALLING TO LEVELS THAT ARE CURRENTLY 70 PERCENT LOWER THAN WHAT IS CONSIDERED SUSTAINABLE. ON THE OCCASION OF THE 19TH SPECIAL MEETING OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ATLANTIC TUNAS (ICCAT) HELD IN NOVEMBER 2014 IN GENOA (ITALY), OCEANA CALLED UPON ICCAT TO AGREE ON A RECOVERY PLAN FOR MEDITERRANEAN SWORDFISH TO ALLOW THE STOCK TO RECOVER FROM OVERFISHING TO MSY LEVELS. GLOBAL FISHING WATCH: THIS REPORT DETAILS THE CAPABILITIES OF THE GLOBAL FISHING WATCH PLATFORM, CREATED BY OCEANA, GOOGLE, AND SKYTRUTH. THE PLATFORM WORKS BY ANALYZING DATA POINTS FROM THE AUTOMATIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (AIS) NETWORK. INFORMATION ABOUT A VESSEL'S BEHAVIOR CAN BE DERIVED BY ANALYZING THE IDENTITY, SPEED AND DIRECTION OF BROADCASTING VESSELS TO PROVIDE AN UNPRECEDENTED VIEW GLOBAL FISHING ACTIVITY. IF NOT NOW, THEN WHEN? -SHARKS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF ICCAT FISHERIES, ACCOUNTING FOR 12% OF ALL CATCHES. REPORTED TO ICCAT IN 2013. HOWEVER, MOST SHARKS ARE COMPLETELY UNMANAGED IN ICCAT - DESPITE BEING HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO OVEREXPLOITATION. THIS FACTSHEET DISCUSSES THREE KEY MEASURES THAT ARE NECESSARY FOR ICCAT TO IMPROVE ITS MANAGEMENT OF SHARKS. ISLAS DESVENTURADAS BIODIVERSIDAD: MARINA Y PROPUESTA DE CONSERVACI. IN FEBRUARY 2013, THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY AND OCEANA CONDUCTED A SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO THE DESVENTURADAS ISLANDS (SAN FELIX AND SAN AMBROSIO). WITH A TEAM OF WORLD-RENOWNED SCIENTISTS AND THE USE OF CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY, THE EXPEDITION STUDIED FOR THE FIRST TIME THE MARINE BIODIVERSITY IN WHAT IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE MOST REMOTE AND UNEXPLORED AREAS IN THE WORLD. THIS REPORT SHARES THEIR RESULTS AND PROPOSES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONSERVATION. MANAGEMENT MATTERS: RIDDING THE BALTIC SEA OF PAPER PARKS THE BALTIC SEA IS ONE OF THE MOST POLLUTED SEAS IN THE WORLD DUE TO NUMEROUS HUMAN ACTIVITIES THAT SEVERELY STRAIN ITS ECOSYSTEMS. MPAS ARE ONE OF THE MOST WIDELY RECOGNIZED AND EFFECTIVE TOOLS TO CURB THE LOSS OF MARINE RESOURCES AND ECOSYSTEMS AS SEEN IN THE BALTIC SEA. THIS REPORT PROVIDES AN OVERVIEW OF MPAS AND THE QUALITY OF THEIR MANAGEMENT IN THE BALTIC SEA AND KATTEGAT, COVERING THE EU'S NATURA 2000 SITES, HELCOM BALTIC SEA PROTECTED AREAS (BSPAS), AND MPAS UNDER NATIONAL LAW. MYTHS AND FACTS ABOUT DEEP-SEA FISHERIES IN THE NORTHEAST ATLANTIC OCEAN: THIS DOCUMENT ADDRESSES COMMON MISPERCEPTIONS ABOUT NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC DEEP-SEA FISHERIES, BASED ON THE BEST AVAILABLE INFORMATION REGARDING THE STATUS AND BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DEEPSEA STOCKS, BY-CATCH AND DISCARD RATES OF DEEP-SEA FISHERIES, AND EU AND INTERNATIONAL PRECEDENTS OF RESTRICTING DEEP-SEA BOTTOM TRAWLS AND GILLNETS. OCEANA FISHING OPPORTUNITIES RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 2015: NORTH EAST ATLANTIC STOCKS. THIS REPORT INCLUDES OCEANA'S RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE EU FISHERIES COUNCIL FOR HOW FISHING OPPORTUNITIES SHOULD BE SET FOR STOCKS IN THE NORTH EAST ATLANTIC IN 2015. THE FISHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR 2015 WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE LEGALLY ADOPTED UNDER THE COMMITMENTS OF MAXIMUM SUSTAINABLE YIELD AND THE OBLIGATION TO LAND ALL CATCHES. OCEANA PROPOSAL FOR MARINE PROTECTED AREAS IN THE BALTIC SEA AND THE KATTEGAT. BASED ON THREE EXPEDITIONS IN THE BALTIC SEA AND THE KATTEGAT, BOTH IN SHALLOW AND DEEP WATERS, OCEANA PUT TOGETHER 13 COMPREHENSIVE CONSERVATION PROPOSALS FOR ECOLOGICALLY IMPORTANT AREAS. OCEANA RECOMMENDATION ON DEEP-SEA FISHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR 2015-2016 THE EXTREME BIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MOST DEEP-SEA SPECIES MAKE THEM THE FISH RESOURCES AND ECOSYSTEMS THAT ARE THE POOREST ADAPTED TO SUSTAINED FISHING PRESSURE, SINCE THEIR POPULATION PRODUCTIVITY AND RECOVERY CAPACITY ARE VERY LIMITED. IN THIS FACTSHEET OCEANA PROVIDES ITS CONSTRUCTIVE RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES (TACS) SHOULD BE SET FOR THESE VULNERABLE SPECIES, AND URGES TO FOLLOW THE SCIENTIFIC ADVICE, WHEN AVAILABLE, AND IMPLEMENT THE PRECAUTIONARY AND ECOSYSTEM APPROACHES. OCEANA RECOMMENDATIONS ON FISHING OPPORTUNITIES FOR 2015 - BALTIC SEA STOCKS IN ADVANCE OF THE NEXT EU COMMISSION PROPOSAL AND COUNCIL DECISION ON FISHING OPPORTUNITIES IN THE BALTIC SEA, OCEANA PROVIDED A CONSTRUCTIVE OPINION ON HOW TOTAL ALLOWABLE CATCHES (TACS) SHOULD BE FIXED FOR 2015. |
| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4C | SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION TO DESCRIBE AREAS MEETING SCIENTIFIC CRITERIA FOR MEDITERRANEAN EBSAS. IN THIS REPORT, 37 MARINE SITES ARE DESCRIBED TO CONTRIBUTE ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF ECOLOGICALLY OR BIOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT AREAS (EBSAS) IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA IN ORDER TO FOLLOW REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE BARCELONA CONVENTION (DECISION IG.21/5) AND THE CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY. SHRIMP: OCEANA REVEALS MISREPRESENTATION OF AMERICA'S FAVORITE SEAFOOD: -IN THE ONLY KNOWN STUDY OF ITS KIND IN THE U.S., DNA TESTING CONFIRMED THAT 30 PERCENT OF THE 143 SHRIMP PRODUCTS TESTED FROM 111 GROCERY STORES AND RESTAURANTS WERE MISREPRESENTED. OCEANA ALSO FOUND THAT CONSUMERS ARE OFTEN PROVIDED WITH LITTLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE SHRIMP THEY PURCHASE, INCLUDING WHERE AND HOW IT WAS CAUGHT OR FARMED, MAKING IT DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, FOR THEM TO MAKE INFORMED CHOICES. -THE BERING STRAIT MARINE LIFE AND SUBSISTENCE DATA SYNTHESIS. THIS REPORT, BY OCEANA AND KAWERAK, INC., PORTRAYS AREAS OF IMPORTANCE AND HIGH ABUNDANCE FOR MARINE SPECIES SUCH AS ICE SEALS, WALRUS, POLAR BEARS, AND WHALES, AS WELL AS OTHER MARINE ECOSYSTEM COMPONENTS LIKE BENTHIC HABITAT AND SEA ICE. THIS SYNTHESIS USES BOTH WESTERN SCIENCE AND ALASKA NATIVE'S LOCAL AND TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE TO CREATE A SYNTHESIS THAT DECISION MAKERS CAN USE TO HELP PROTECT VALUABLE AND VULNERABLE MARINE AREAS FROM HUMAN THREATS SUCH AS SHIPPING, AND LARGE-SCALE COMMERCIAL FISHING. THE GFCM AT A GLANCE: REBUILDING MEDITERRANEAN FISH STOCKS. IN 2014 A NEW GFCM AGREEMENT CAME OUT OF THE 38TH MEETING OF THE CONTRACTING PARTIES, HELD ON 19-24 MAY, IN ROME (ITALY). OCEANA, WHICH HAS LONG ADVOCATED AGAINST OVERFISHING IN THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA, WELCOMED THE NEW GFCM AGREEMENT. THE TEXT WILL DELIVER THE NEEDED FRAMEWORK TO REBUILD FISH STOCKS TO SUSTAINABLE LEVELS AND PRESERVE MEDITERRANEAN ECOSYSTEMS THROUGH INCREASED PROTECTION. -THE SEAMOUNTS OF GORRINGE BANK OCEANA CONDUCTED VARIOUS SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS TO THE GORRINGE BANK, CATALOGUING MORE THAN A HUNDRED SPECIES AND A WIDE VARIETY OF HABITATS. EXPEDITIONS TOOK PLACE IN 2005, 2011 AND 2012. THE NEWLY-DISCOVERED SPECIES AND HABITATS SUPPORT THE CASE FOR PROTECTING THE GORRINGE BANK'S HIGHLY VALUABLE ENCLAVE. -TOWARDS A NEW REGULATION ESTABLISHING SPECIFIC CONDITIONS TO FISHING FOR DEEP-SEA STOCKS IN THE NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC. THE EUROPEAN DEEP-SEA ACCESS REGIME HAS FAILED TO ENSURE THE SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF DEEP-SEA FISHERIES AND ECOSYSTEMS IN THE NORTH-EAST ATLANTIC OCEAN. THIS BRIEFING PRESENTS A COMPARISON OF THE CURRENT SYSTEM RESPECT DIFFERENT PROPOSALS, INCLUDING EU COMMISSION, EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OCEANA, IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE MANAGEMENT OF THESE FISHERIES AND THE CONSERVATION OF DEEP-SEA VULNERABLE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS. -WASTED CATCH: THE PRICE OF WASTE IN THE U.S. FISHING INDUSTRY BYCATCH, OR THE CAPTURE OF NON-TARGET FISH AND OCEAN WILDLIFE, REMAINS ONE OF THE BIGGEST THREATS TO THE HEALTH OF OCEAN ECOSYSTEMS, CONTRIBUTING TO OVERFISHING AND THE DECLINE OF FISH POPULATIONS AROUND THE WORLD. AS MUCH AS 2 BILLION POUNDS OF FISH ARE DISCARDED BY FISHERIES IN THE UNITED STATES EACH YEAR, HINDERING THE RECOVERY OF DEPLETED STOCKS. WHAT IS THE PRICE THE INDUSTRY PAYS FOR THIS WASTEFUL HABIT? IN THIS REPORT, OCEANA ESTIMATES THAT THE VALUE OF DISCARDED FISH IN THE U.S. IS AT LEAST $1 BILLION ANNUALLY. -WASTED CATCH: UNSOLVED PROBLEMS IN U.S. FISHERIES DESPITE STRONG MANAGEMENT MEASURES AND CONSERVATION INITIATIVES IN SOME REGIONS, BYCATCH REMAINS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM FOR FAR TOO MANY UNITED STATES FISHERIES. RESEARCHERS ESTIMATE THAT 17 TO 22 PERCENT OF U.S. CATCH IS DISCARDED EVERY YEAR, ACCORDING TO THE BEST AVAILABLE DATA. IN THIS REPORT, OCEANA EXPOSES NINE OF THE DIRTIEST FISHERIES IN THE U.S., RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 50 PERCENT OF ALL REPORTED BYCATCH IN THE COUNTRY. |
