Description:
"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (Fisheries), Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) has voluntarily provided U.S. fishery statistics to the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, Oceanic Fisheries Programme (SPC/OFP) for a number of years. This was done in support of fisheries research, particularly stock assessment, conducted collaboratively by high seas fishing nations and entities, Pacific island states, and the OFP staff for presentation and review at the SPC/OFP sponsored Standing Committee on Tuna and Billfish. This year the SPC/OFP requested that such data be provided under the expectation the newly formed Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) would soon contract SPC/OFP to manage the Commission's fishery database and provide scientific advice to the WCPFC and its Scientific Committee"--Page 1.
