21st Regular Session of the Scientific Committee

SC21 will review the progress of the five-year Project 121 (Ecosystem and climate indicators, 2023-2027), which involves developing and testing candidate indicators through technical analyses, refining them via expert and member workshops, reporting to the Scientific Committee, preparing routine indicator updates, and creating tools for effective communication with WCPFC and broader stakeholders.

SC21 will also review various indicators in the updated Ecosystem and Climate Indicator Report Card, available data on climate change impacts on stocks and ecosystems, the potential effects of climate change on related fishing activities, and any other associated issues.
