FN0265-COMMERCIAL - Tuna - 2012/2013 Albacore Tuna Integrated Fisheries Management Plan and 2012 High Seas and Canadian Waters Tuna Fishery Opening
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans effectively closed the 2011/2012 fisheries for tuna species in waters of the Pacific Ocean within the Canadian Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and offshore (high seas) as of March 31, 2012 at 23:59 hours. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans issued variations orders, effective April 1, 2012 at 00:01 hours to open fisheries for tuna species within the Canadian Exclusive Zone (EEZ) and the offshore (high seas). IMPORTANT: All tuna harvesters are reminded that Conditions of Licence require all harvest activity to be recorded in a tuna harvest logbook. Harvest logs that meet the requirements of the Department are available for purchase from the Canadian Highly Migratory Species Foundation, c/o 4829 Maplegrove Street, Victoria, BC, V8Y 3B9, (250) 658-0179. Harvesters fishing for tuna without a harvest log will be fishing in contravention of their Conditions of Licence. Prior to issuance of a Section 68 (high seas) tuna licence, a letter confirming that arrangements have been made to obtain the logbook and related keypunching/data transmission services must be presented to a Pacific Fishery Licence Unit. All tuna harvesters are required to submit a WCPFC/IATTC vessel registration form prior to harvesting for tuna anywhere in the Pacific Ocean. Forms have been sent to vessel owners who purchased a tuna logbook last season. Further details and information on the requirements can be found in your Conditions of Licence. Tuna related forms and information will be available on the Pacific Region Tuna website: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/commercial/pelagic-pelagique/tuna-thon/index- eng.htm A copy of the 2012/2013 tuna Integrated Fisheries Management Plan will be posted on DFO's management plan website: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/ifmp-eng.htm FOR MORE INFORMATION: Please contact Jordan Mah at Jordan.Mah@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
