21st Regular Session of the Scientific Committee

Some members at SC20 have recognized Project 114 for its significant progress in enhancing the coverage of cannery receipt data, which contributed accurate species composition analyses in purse seine fisheries. Some stakeholders have supported continued collaboration and expanding data collection efforts through bilateral arrangements to improve stock assessments and fishery monitoring within the WCPFC framework. ​Due to the remaining funds from restricted travel from Noumea in 2024, this project will continue until 30 September 2025. The TOR is available at SC20-GN-WP-06.

SC21 will review Project 114's final report and provide further evaluations and future directions as needed.
