4 BACKGROUND The Indian Ocean Tuna Commission is an intergovernmental organization established under Article XIV of the FAO constitution. The IOTC agreement was concluded in 1993 and entered in force in The IOTC is mandated to manage tuna and tuna-like species in the Indian Ocean and adjacent seas with primary objective the conservation and optimum utilization of the stocks for long term sustainability. Since 1998, the members of the IOTC have dedicated most of their effort to the scientific component of fisheries management to manage the tuna and tuna-like resources. Since 2008, more emphasis has been dedicated to the compliance component of this tuna RFMO. A compliance section has been created to assess and review all compliance aspects related to the implementation of the IOTC Conservation and Management Measures and provide support to Contracting and Cooperating Parties (CPCs) in the implementation of Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) tools adopted by the IOTC Members (IUU vessel lists, authorized & active vessels list, documents on board, marking of fishing vessels and gears, Vessel Monitoring System, fishing logbooks, regional observers scheme, trans-shipments programme, catch certification/trade documentation schemes). OBJECTIVE OF THE MISSION The objective of the mission is to support Madagascar to strengthen the implementation of active IOTC CMMs, thus to increase the level of compliance. In this case, implementation obligations relates to the reporting obligations of the CPCs including reporting on vessels (authorized & active vessels, IUU, fishing capacity and Fleet Development Plan), mandatory statistical requirements (Nominal catch, catch & effort, size frequency, FAD), management standards and monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) tools (documents on board, marking of fishing vessels and gears, logbook, ban on large scale driftnets in the high seas, area closure, port inspections, Vessel Monitoring System, regional observer schemes, at sea transshipment programme), implementation of management measures on by-catch and non- IOTC species caught incidentally and statistical document programme Image 1 Compliance support meeting Madagascar 2

5 METHODOLOGY The proposed methodology is based on the assessment of the constraints affecting the level of compliance of Madagascar according to compliance issues addressed during the Compliance Committee and the Commission meeting. The purpose of the assessment is to identify and to facilitate corrective actions. The assessment will allow the concerned parties to gain a clear understanding of the difficulties encountered by Madagascar and the challenges Madagascar face to implement the IOTC Resolutions at the policy, institutional/administrative and operational levels. The IOTC Secretariat conducted the mission to Madagascar and in close collaboration with its fisheries administration. The assessment process includes: a) The preparation of the assessment based on the compliance issues, review of national fisheries legislation, administrative structure/arrangements, b) The presentation of the compliance issues to the CPC and identification of constraints/weakness, c) The identification of corrective actions and pragmatic solutions, d) The development of a corrective actions plan to assist the Madagascar to improve and/or strengthen the implementation of the Resolutions, e) The delivery of training course on the implementation of IOTC CMMs, where applicable and necessary. The work plan for the mission is presented in Annex 1, of this report. ASSESSMENT The following 18 resolutions were assessed during the Compliance Support Mission, and these formed the basis of the action plan that was elaborated and agreed upon. 3

6 RESULTS Flowing from these 18 resolutions, a total of 51 reporting requirements were further assessed for which the action plan provided, where necessary, timelines in which Madagascar would undertake the necessary action in order to comply to. As indicated above, the action plan provides clear timelines in which actions are to be undertaken, and it also provides a clear indication on the concerned Ministry, Department or Section within Ministry or Department responsible for the follow-up action. The action plan has been officially communicated by the IOTC Executive Secretary to the Director of Fisheries of Madagascar for his formal approval, and it is now being kept under review by the IOTC Secretariat to ensure that the agreed timelines for actions are respected or, as the case may be, updated. 4

7 Training methodology, assessment of the participants and of the quality of the course METHODOLOGY The training program covers five days of class instruction. Each class instruction day is divided into eight timed session of forty-five minutes and include a morning, midday and afternoon break. The formal instruction provides a theoretical overview of each of the learning outcomes. Key outcomes that cover the practical implementation of the Port State Measures will be further emphasised with case studies and practical tasks involving both group and individual participation. Training methodologies Theoretical instruction Theoretical instruction will consist of lectures using PowerPoint presentations and supported by the training manual as the primary reference document. Theoretical instruction will be further supported with relevant video material. Practical tasks During the course, practical tasks and case studies will be assigned to both individual participants and working groups to emphasise the practical components of implementing the Ports State Measures. Assessment Assessment of participants will be on-going throughout the training course through the evaluation of practical tasks completed. At the end of the course a multiple choice test will be given to assess the understanding of the theoretical content of the course. Training materials used during the course Training manual: Procedures for the implementation of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission Port State Measures : PowerPoint projections; Video presentations; Species Identification Guides for Fisheries Inspectors; Translation Guide for Fisheries Inspectors; Fisheries Inspectors notebook; and Inspector kit. 5

8 Port State Measures library For each learning outcome, power point presentations, documents (e.g. technical reports, guidelines, etc.) and videos displayed during the course will be provided to the participants. These documents and video constitute the Port State Measures library which aims to provide the participants complementary information specific to the learning outcomes. image 2 Session on the implication of IUU Fishing image 3 Training Course participants image 4 Working Groups-assessment of AREP image 5 Group Photo of the participants 6
