Samoa Tuna Management and Development Plan 2011-2015

SAMOA TUNA MANAGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2011-2015 MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND FISHERIES FISHERIES DIVISION FOREWORD Over the past decade, Samoa had enjoyed the economic benefits as the tuna industry expanded and maintained. Since the early 1990s, the tuna industry became one of the most important revenue earners for Samoa and employing a relatively large number of people. However, in mid 2000’s a downturn was noted whereby catch rates experienced during late 1990’s and early 2000’s have declined and few boats were operating. This was a disturbing factor for all involved in the fisheries, particularly the Government. However, catches in recent years have indicated that the fisheries have gradually recovered and hopefully it will again attain similar levels experienced in the late 1990’s. The tuna fishery and its developments are still viewed as one of the mainstay to economic prosperity for Samoa. The tuna fishing industry has been very consistent in leading the export earnings for the country since its beginning in the early 1990s. At present, the industry is still faced with the challenge of maximising benefits to the industry and the people of Samoa whilst the same time ensuring the longterm sustainability of oceanic fish stocks available within the exclusive economic zone are harvested in a sustainable manner conducive with international fishery conservation and management measures. The national Plan, is a tool that has been formulated to provide a policy framework and strategic directions for sustainable development, presenting strategies with plan of actions to address issues of concerns such as constraints to sustainable development, viable management measures to ensure the stocks of the four main tuna species (albacore, yellowfin, bigeye and skipjack tuna) remain healthy, strengthening capacity and capability of local authorities such as Fisheries personnel, legislative review and a mechanism to review the Plan when it becomes necessary. The Samoa Tuna Development and Management Plan 2011-2015 is the second 5 year plan formulated to direct the development of the tuna longline fishing industry and promotes a sustainable management of the tuna resources. The current plan is a final outcome from a stakeholder consultative process that engaged the tuna industry, government organizations, non-government organizations, regional organizations such as FFA and SPC, the Commercial Fisheries Management and Advisory Committee (CF-MAC) and the Fisheries Division of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. I take this opportunity to thank the FFA and SPC who have provided the technical and legal assistances enabling us to develop and establish a Plan that is most relevant for the promotion of sustainable management and development of our tuna fishery within the framework of ecosystem approach to fisheries management. Importantly, the plan is supporting regional initiatives towards the global management of the concerned species at the national level. On that regard, it is with great satisfaction that I present the Samoa Tuna Development and Management Plan 2011-2015 to the Government and the people of Samoa. Taua Kitiona Seuala Hon. Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background The fishery waters of Samoa supports a large stock of albacore tuna with some yellowfin and bigeye tuna species. A relatively large component of by-catch species also exists. This Plan describes the intent of the Government of Samoa over the five (5) year period of 2011 to 2015 with regard to the development and management of the tuna resources in its exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and the maximization of the long term economic and social benefits derived from the utilization of the resource for the people of Samoa. The Plan generally covers two main areas:  The management of the tuna resources of Samoa, particularly the licensing arrangements for the domestic longline fishery; and  The future development of the tuna industry in Samoa to sustain and maximize the economic benefits and participation of Samoans in the fishery. 1.1.1. Resource Status The tuna resources of the western and central Pacific, of which Samoan waters form a very small portion (less than 1%), are very large. These resources currently supply around 50% of the global catch of primary market species of tuna. Since the mid 1990s, catch rates of albacore tuna in Samoa’s longline fishery have been amongst the highest in the region with large annual catches (>4000 mt) taken in some years, constituting up to 12% of the total annual South Pacific catch. The tuna catches from the Samoan longline fishery accounts for about 0.3% of the total tuna catches in the WCPO. The inter-annual variability in oceanography and the impacts of climate state that over time, thus influence the availability of albacore has been a major issue in the fishery and has lead to large peaks and troughs in catch and also the number of active fishing vessels from year to year. In particular, the fishery almost ceased completely in 2004/05 but has slowly recommenced since then. The tuna longline fishery is still dominated by alia vessels ranging from 9 to 18 meters in length with medium to larger sized vessels of 20 meters plus that are more mechanised also made up the rest of the active fishing fleet. The commercial longline fishery operates all year round targeting large or matured albacore tuna (Thunnus allalunga), which accounted for about 75% of the total landing volumes, to be exported frozen to the two canneries in American Samoa. Yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) represented about 12% of the total landings, and bigeye (Thunnus obesus) tuna are considered by catch species however, large yellowfin and bigeye tuna of over 25kg are important component of fresh chilled fish exports. More than 6,000 metric tons (mt) of tuna and other pelagic species were caught annually during the late 1990’s with fishing effort of an average of 7 million hooks deployed per year. In comparison, total longline tuna catches for the period of 2004 to 2006 were estimated at an average of above 2,000 mt annually with more than 4 million hooks deployed yearly as well. In 2009, an estimated total weight of about 3,700 mts of fish was landed from the longline fishery. The Troll fishery estimated a total landing of 147 mt of which 70% consisted of skipjack tuna species in the same period. Overall, the albacore is still the mainstay of the Samoan longline fishery, and while other tuna species may be important, it is the availability of albacore that dictates the operation of the fishery. Based on the recent albacore stock assessment, the regional stock is relatively healthy with the current Biomass of albacore fishery is in excess of the biomass (BMSY) that would support Maximum Sustainable Yield. Moreover, the current fishing mortality is lower than the fishing mortality (FMSY) that results in Maximum Sustainable Yield. 1.2 Goals The plan has two overall goals:  To ensure the longterm sustainability of tuna resources harvesting from within Samoa’s EEZ and throughout their range; and  To optimize the longterm economic and social benefits accruing to the people of Samoa from the exploitation of its tuna resources. 2. TUNA MANAGEMENT 2.1 Scope and Status 1. This Plan is to be cited as Samoa National Tuna Management and Development Plan 2011-2015. 2. The Plan sets out the rules and management measures applicable to the commercial fishery for Tuna and Tuna-like species in the Samoa Exclusive Economic Zone and also for Samoan vessels fishing in other areas as applicable. 3. The Plan also sets out ongoing work relevant to the commercial fishery and the emerging sport fishing sector. 4. Subject to paragraph 5, this Plan represents the policy of the Government of Samoa and does not have legal affect in its own right. 5. Upon its endorsement by notification in the Gazette, paragraphs 6, 7, 10, 14, 17, 18, 21, 24 to 28, 31, 33, 37 to 43, 53, 54, 57 to 60, 62 and 63 and Tables 1 and 2 shall carry the weight of subordinate legislation under the Act. The remaining paragraphs of this Plan shall continue to represent the policy of the Government of Samoa. 2.2 Objectives 6. The Plan will pursue the following objectives through the management of Tuna fishing: a) Continuing to strengthen the exercise of sovereign rights of Samoans over tuna; b) Increasing the economic gains received by Samoa through exercising its rights over tuna and through optimal management of the fishery; c) Contributing to the sustainable management of tuna resources and the associated ecosystem, including through effective participation by Samoa in regional activities; and d) Continual recognition of cultural values in tuna policy and planning, particularly the importance of the contribution of tuna to food security, and protection of the interests of small scale fishers. 2.3 Management Measures 2.3.1 Licensing 7. This sub-Part is to be read in accordance with the licensing requirements set forth in Part VIII section 35 of the Act. 8. Commercial Fishing Licenses will continue to be issued by the Fisheries Division as a means of controlling participation, applying conditions and recovering fees against Government expenditure in the management of tuna fisheries. (i) Commercial Licence Caps 9. The 2005-2009 Management Plan imposed a series of license caps on different categories of vessel. Table 1 shows the licence caps under the 2005-2009 Management Plan as well as the number of vessels that have operated in recent years and new caps that will apply between 2011 and 2015. Table 1 – Licence Caps Class Vessel Size Cap 2005 2009 Highest number 2002 -2008 Cap 2010 2014 A Up to 11m Unlimited 60 100 B Over 11m and up to 12.5 m 15 5 10 C Over 12.5m and up to 15m 15 8 10 D Over 15m and up to 20.5m 12 12 12 E Over 20.5m 5 5 5 10. The number of licenses per category will be subject to ongoing review in accordance with sections 56 to 60 of this Plan. 11. While the new caps are lower than those previously in place, they are higher than recent participation in the fishery (with the exception of classes D and E) and therefore allow expansion and further participation. This represents a balance between increased community wide benefits from increased employment and decreased profitability per vessel if catch rates are affected. (ii) Commercial Licence Fees 12. Licence fees were reviewed on several occasions during the life of the previous Management Plan and have been reconsidered in the development of these arrangements. In particular, concerns about the seasonal nature of the main part of the commercial fishery (targeting albacore during winter months) have been reviewed, including through consideration of proposals raised by industry for a six monthly licensing period to reflect the fishery. 13. Table 2 sets out the previous and new license fees. Table 2 – Licence Fees (SAT) Class Fee 2009 Fee 2010-2014 A 200 200 B 500 1000 C 3000 5000 D 7000 8000 E 7000 10000 14. The licence fee for each category will be subject to ongoing review in accordance with section 46 of this Plan. 15. The 2009 fees represent a significant reduction over those originally included in the 2005-2009 Plan as a result of previous reviews. The 2009 level of fee is considered very low compared to the value of the fishery and the value of fish that each vessel can catch, hence the increase in the new fees for Class B to Class E, as recommended by CF-MAC. 16. While fishing is somewhat seasonal, it occurs right throughout the year, and more importantly, so too does Government expenditure on managing, monitoring and enforcing the fishery. (iii) High Seas Commercial Licenses 17. Fisheries Division will issue endorsements for class C, D and E vessels that already have a Commercial Licence to fish in areas of high seas upon request. Initially, this extra endorsement will be free of charge. Fisheries Division will continue to review the practice and the level of high seas catch and effort and may introduce revised licensing arrangements as appropriate. (iv) Fishing in other Exclusive Economic Zones 18. Pending authorisation from another coastal State, the Fisheries Division may issue licences to allow vessels to operate in the EEZ of that coastal State. Such licences shall be subject to terms and conditions as set forth by Fisheries Division and the coastal State. 2.3.2 Resource Allocation and Conflict Mitigation 19. Spatial exclusion has been used in Samoa for several years to reduce the direct competition between small operators (particularly Alia vessels) and larger, more efficient vessels. The previous spatial exclusion boundary was a 50nm zone around the land that was reserved for vessels smaller than 15m (class A, B and C). 20. Outcomes of the stakeholder consultations held in mid 2009 revealed unanimous support for continuation of spatial management to reduce competition between the vessel classes and therefore avoid potential conflict as well as maintaining profitability and safety for small vessel operators. However, several suggestions for the improvement of the system were proposed and duly considered. 21. For 2011 to 2015, only vessels of classes A and B are permitted to undertake fishing activities (other than steaming and unloading at Port) within 50 nautical miles from any shoreline. 22. Fisheries Division will conduct Monitoring, Control and Surveillance activities, including via vessel monitoring systems under sub-Part 2.3.4 of this Plan to ensure the integrity of the spatial management arrangements. 2.3.3 Data Collection 23. Data is imperative to domestic and regional fisheries management. The information collected under the Plan and the Act will be used for the management of the Samoa fishery as well as to meet Samoa’s obligations to regional bodies to provide data. (i) Logsheets 24. All vessels fishing under a Commercial Fishing Licence must complete a daily logsheet detailing all fishing activity. 25. For vessels of class B, C, D and E, logsheets for each trip must be submitted to Fisheries Division within 2 days of end of the trip. 26. For vessels of class A, daily logsheets must be submitted on a monthly basis. 27. Fisheries Division will: a) Make daily logsheets available to commercial fishing licence holders (noting that the logsheet will be simplified for classes A ; and b) Ensure timely submission of logsheets including through extension and enforcement activities. (ii) Observers 28. Agreement to carry an observer upon request from the Fisheries Division is a pre requisite of applying for a Commercial Fishing Licence. The Fisheries Division may place observers on any licensed vessel provided sufficient notice is given to the licence holder. It should be noted that vessels fishing on the high seas will be subject to the Regional Observer Programme of the WCPFC. 29. Advice from industry during stakeholder consultations in mid 2009 was mixed about the ability to carry observers with some very small vessel operators indicating little difficulty with taking an observer and others indicating that it is not possible. In implementing the compulsory acceptance of observers, Fisheries Division will continue to be mindful of the operational difficulties that observer placement can cause. 30. In some special cases, it may be necessary for the observer to replace a member of the crew. Fisheries Division will work with licence holders to minimise the incidence of this and to ensure that observers are capable of assisting with the operation of the vessel while also collecting relevant information. 31. Notwithstanding that flexibility, the responsibility to accept an observer is still borne by the licence holder under this Plan. (iii) Port Sampling 32. The port sampling scheme that has been undertaken by the Fisheries Division in the past will be continued. 2.3.4 Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) 33. Vessels of class A and B must ensure that an Automatic Location Communicator compatible with the radio VMS is installed on the vessel and functioning correctly prior to departing port on each fishing trip. 34. Fisheries Division shall work with FFA to develop a comprehensive proposal for extending VMS to vessels of class C, D and E. 2.3.5 Bycatch and related species (i) Sharks 35. The conservation and management measure of the WCPFC (which Samoa is bound to implement) requires that shark carcasses are retained on board the vessel and that the weight of fins on board may not exceed 5% of the weight of carcasses. The intention of these measures is to discourage the practice of finning sharks at sea and encouraging full utilisation of sharks. 36. Retention of carcasses would place a significant operational burden on small vessels in the Samoan fishery. Further, given the semi-artisanal status of these vessels, loss of income as a result of decreased sale of shark fins is also extremely undesirable. Therefore, in accordance with the CMM, and in exercise of Samoa’s Sovereign Rights, the following alternative arrangements shall apply. All Vessels 37. No wire traces shall be used in the longline fishery. 38. A maximum of 5 sharks may be taken per trip. Class A and B Vessels 39. Vessel operators are not required to retain shark carcasses on board. However, fins taken from each shark must be stored in separate bags to allow a fisheries officer to determine how many sharks are represented in the catch. Class C, D and E 40. Vessel operators must land all sharks with the fins still attached to the carcass. (ii) Sea Turtles 41. All longline vessels must carry line cutters, de-hookers and dip nets and use them to assist in the safe release of any captured sea turtle. 42. The Fisheries Division will ensure that a copy of educational material to assist in the use of this equipment is available for each vessel on request. 43. Longline vessels targeting swordfish through the use of light sticks and squid bait shall only use circle hooks of size 16/0 or greater. 2.3.6 Other MCS Activities 44. In addition to the data collection and monitoring programmes prescribed herein, Fisheries Division and other relevant agencies will continue to undertake other surveillance and enforcement activities on a unilateral, bilateral and multilateral basis. 2.4 Future Work 2.4.1 Species Management - Albacore 45. Issues relating to the profitability and “local sustainability” of albacore have been raised though the Samoa EAFM process. These concerns relate to the “boom bust” trend that the fishery has shown in recent years with periods of strong decline in catch and catch rates followed by apparent recoveries. Such a fishery structure presents impediments to investment in fishing and associated industries and caused wholesale employment impacts during periods of downturn. These trends are strongly driven by climatic conditions such as the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO), but are also influenced by the high level of effort (hook numbers) that has been present in the small Samoa EEZ in the last decade. 46. Albacore, as used at present in Samoa for cannery supply is a high quantity, low value species and it is therefore important that management arrangements be based on maintaining the local part of the stock at level high enough to support profitable catch rates. 47. The maintenance of catch rates is essentially an industry profitability issue and as such it is appropriate to implement a co-management approach as follows. a) Fisheries Division will work with industry representatives through CF-MAC to establish a “Break even average shot value” for each category of fishing vessel. This shot value will be based on the minimum value of catch that must be achieved from each longline shot in order to cover the cost of the fishing trip and associated costs such as transporting the catch from Savaii to Apia. b) Logsheet data shall be subject to a simple review every three months. Fisheries Division will produce a simple assessment of average catch rates (kg per shot) for albacore, yellowfin, bigeye. This will then be combined with average prices for each species over that period for the three month period that will be supplied by CF-MAC members. c) Fisheries Division will distribute an assessment of the average shot value for each vessel category compared to the agreed break-even value to all licence holders. d) Fisheries Division will work with stakeholders through CF-MAC to determine appropriate responses should the fishery fall below the minimum shot value. In the spirit of co-management, responses in the first instance should be industry based, with the possibility for regulatory changes in the longer term or where shot value is consistently below the level that industry has determined to be its “break-even” point. 2.4.2 Cetacean Depredation 48. Economic losses due to cetacean depredation were discussed as a high risk issue in the EAFM process. However, while industry members noted significant catch loss as a result of either depredation of hooked tuna by whales or theft of bait by dolphins, data was not available to assess the exact loss to the industry and therefore the wider economy. 49. Fisheries Division will work directly with licence holders to collect better information on the prevalence of depredation. This may include the development of a simplistic reporting form or revision of existing data collection measures. Any data collected by observers under sections 23 to 25 will be used to supplement this information. 2.4.3 Species Management – Bigeye 50. The sustainability of bigeye tuna was another risk issue identified in the EAFM process. This is exacerbated by the high value of the species (meaning that its contribution to the viability of the fishery is out of proportion to the quantity of catch) and the negative status of the species in the WCPO. 51. Given the relatively low levels of take in the Samoa EEZ and the low level of importance of the stock assessment region that Samoa is in, the conclusion of the EAFM process was that there is no overwhelming need to reduce bigeye tuna catches in the fishery. While the species is important, no indications of dedicated targeting were identified, making it difficult to do so anyway. 52. However, it is acknowledged that there is a strong need for regional and sub regional management arrangements for this stock. Fisheries Division will continue to advocate sustainable management arrangements through the WCPFC and implement decisions and CMMs accordingly. In addition, Fisheries Division will work with neighbouring coastal States to develop ways in which benefits to Samoa from bigeye tuna can be maximised while also promoting sustainability. 2.4.4 Threatened Endangered and Protected Species 53. In addition to the specific provisions outlined above, Fisheries Division will, within 24 months of commencement of this Plan, present a National Plan of Action for the conservation and management of sharks and a Sea Turtle Management Plan to CF-MAC for consideration. 2.4.5 Management of Fish Aggregating Devices 54. Fisheries Division will prepare a draft Plan for the management of Fish Aggregating devices in support of commercial and subsistence fishing for consideration by CF-MAC. 2.4.6 Sport Fishing 55. Resource allocation issues were raised during stakeholder consultations in 2009 and the potential for conflict between commercial (especially alia) and sport fishing vessel operators exists. 56. Fisheries Division will actively investigate the need for management arrangements in the sportfishing sector and present proposals for amendments to this management plan to CF-MAC within 12 months of commencement. This could include, but is not restricted to proposals such as licensing systems, data collection programs, spatial management and catch limits. 2.5 Review Events 2.5.1 Licence Caps (Section 9) 57. The Fisheries Division will present a report of licence numbers in relation to the caps specified in section 9 at the first meeting of CF-MAC each year. 58. In addition, a specific review of the licence caps shall be conducted when any one of the vessel category caps (other than D and E that have been capped at current levels) becomes fully subscribed or scientific advice indicates major changes to the status of resources. 59. This review shall focus on the current status of the fishery to allow CF-MAC and the Fisheries Division to provide advice as to whether there should be changes to the number of licences issued. If additional licenses are not to be issued, the review will provide advice to the Minister regarding the prioritisation of licence applicants within the caps. 60. The Fisheries Division shall prepare Terms of Reference for this review. 61. In addition, Samoa is participating in a regional assessment of alternative management arrangements for the longline fishery, which may have a bearing on future management arrangements. 2.5.2 Licence Fees (Section 11) 62. CF-MAC shall annually review licence fees in the fishery against general economic conditions, additional discounts, subsidies or waivers provided by the Government and fishery status. 2.5.3 General Fishery Review – Advice to Licence Holders 63. Fisheries division shall develop a simplified template for the provision of catch and effort summaries to licence holders on a regular basis. These reports may be combined with those anticipated by section 38 above. 3. TUNA INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT 64. The development component of the Tuna Plan set out a broad summary of issues for the further consideration of the Government of Samoa in promoting tuna industry development. Some of the issues raised can be directly addressed by the Fisheries Division and there are areas that will rely on input and action from other government agencies and extensive discussion with industry. 3.1 Development Objectives 65. The overall goal for the development of the domestic tuna fishery during the Plan period is: To maximise economic benefits flowing to Samoa from the sustainable utilisation of its tuna resources, including harvesting and processing. 66. Thus, the objectives include: a) Providing an enabling environment that will promote and encourage private sector development in commercial fishing, processing and support sectors in Samoa; b) Maintain and expand the export of tuna and tuna products from Samoa. c) Promote the development of new markets for Samoan tuna. d) Promote value-adding to tuna catches in Samoa, to maximise local employment, and produce a high value product for both domestic and export markets. e) Encourage the private sector to enter into joint ventures with foreign investors to establish viable fishing operation with shore facilities for processing and exporting fresh or processed tuna based in Samoa. f) Increase the catches of the Samoan tuna fleet through the negotiation of access arrangements with neighbouring countries and Territories and through the chartering of vessels to fish on the high seas. g) Increase the participation of private sector interests in Tuna fishing through the provision of infrastructure needed to foster development, such as anchorage for fishing vessels, constructing support services, such as ice making machines for processing and / or storage facilities, including in rural locations. h) Explore the feasibility of super alia vessels, or other suitable alternatives to improve the economics of the fishery and improve safety at sea. i) Strengthen the performance of the Competent Authority on fish and fishery products destined for exports. Ensure that all developments are sustainable and economically viable, with benefits flowing directly to the local people. 3.2 Development Strategies 67. To achieve the specified development objectives, the following strategies may be adopted. 3.2.1 Provide an Enabling Environment for Development 68. Government policies play an important role in facilitating development particularly with respect to private sector. It is important that the current policies continue to provide an enabling environment for tuna fisheries development and that the Fisheries Division work with other relevant government agencies to ensure that approved policies are fully implemented. (i) Taxation 69. The Customs Act as been amended and with the exception of fuel, the fishing industry is not subject to duties and tariffs. Given the uncertainties of the economics of the industry, particularly the variation in albacore catch rates, the current taxation framework should be maintained. (ii) Credit Facilities 70. In recent years there has been minimal lending to the fisheries sector and the Development Bank advised that that it has not received any loan applications for longline fishing for approximately six years. It ceased lending in the small alia fishery because of the safety at sea problems. The Bank advised that it will consider future lending to the longline sector and therefore the option of financing the upgrading of the alias to some form of larger vessel is possible, noting the need to convince the Development Bank of the feasibility of this approach. 3.2.2 Maintain and Expand the Export of Tuna and Tuna Products from Samoa 71. There remains considerable uncertainty concerning the status of processing in American Samoa which has been the major market for tuna from Samoa and alternatives need to be considered. Strategies to be adopted to increase exports include: a) The promotion and developments of new markets, including exploring options for the export of tuna to the EU, noting the need to meet the stringent food safety requirements of that market and the need to conform with the EU IUU Regulation. b) Once new markets have been identified, a programme should be developed to establish relationships with buyers and produce value added products from the longline catch. c) Consideration of niche markets, including the market for sustainable seafood, which may become available if albacore tuna fisheries in the region can obtain eco-labels or successfully develop other market differentiation strategies. d) The establishment of a Competent Authority as this is a necessity for those countries that wish to export seafood. A Competent Authority is an independent, government-based body that is responsible for controlling the standard of seafood exported and the interpretation of importing nation requirements. e) Investigate the feasibility of establishing a loining plant in Samoa, noting the potential opportunity to take fish that currently supply processing facilities in American Samoa should the remaining facility located there close. This should include the option of a large scale plant supported by foreign investment and a smaller scale operation supplied only by the domestic fleet. 3.2.3 Increase the catches of the Samoan Fleet 72. Due to the small size of the Samoan EEZ and the cap on vessel numbers it is not considered possible to significantly increase catches from the Samoan EEZ. Therefore, Samoa will pursue arrangements to increase catches by Samoan vessels outside of the EEZ including through: a) The negotiation of access agreements to the EEZs of neighbouring States and Territories which have low levels of fishing effort in their EEZs. It is anticipated that the government of Samoa would facilitate these access negotiations, but that the vessels would be licensed under commercial licensing arrangements. b) The development of charter arrangements with foreign fishing vessels with these vessels being authorised by Samoa to fish exclusively on the high seas under the framework of the Commission Management Measure on Charters. The government of Samoa will put in place appropriate arrangements to control the operation of the vessels, including VMS and 100% observer coverage. The feasibility of registering foreign fishing vessels as Samoan flag vessels will need to be investigated, taking account of the need for Samoa to fully implement flag State control measures, noting that the option of Samoa operating an open registry of fishing vessels should also be investigated . Samoa will also develop criteria for the charter arrangements to ensure that benefits from these charters flow to the Samoan economy. Samoan registered companies will be invited to charter vessels in accordance with the criteria. Criteria that might be considered include:  At least 40% of crew consists of Samoan nationals.  Flagged as Samoan vessel; thus all operational and fisheries data shall be submitted to local fisheries authority. 3.2.4 Manage and Improve Infrastructure and Facilities 73. Salelologa wharf has space that could potentially be utilized as a commercial fisheries base for Savaii, to support the alia fishery. The base being located at the terminus of the ferry between Savaii and Upolu would provide for development of infrastructure that would that would enable efficient handling and accumulation of fish from various sources for bulk shipping to market. The Fisheries Division will consult with the Samoan Ports Authority on the possible development of the base. 74. The base should house: a) Ice Plant (2) b) VMS base c) Gear Store d) Bait Store e) Fisheries management office f) Space for future cold store facilities. 3.2.5 Upgrading of the Alia Fleet 75. The number of vessels operating in the alia fishery has been highly variable, largely in response to the economics of the fishery. The use of larger vessels with larger catch volumes might be expected to improve the economics of the fishery. Trials of a larger super alia conducted by SPC have indicated that these vessels can operate economically and other alternatives should also be investigated. The feasibility of a programme to upgrade the existing alia fleet financed through a revolving fund in conjunction with the Development Bank or some other financial institution will be explored. 3.2.6 Safety at Sea 76. Much progress has been made in addressing safety at sea issues, noting that the installation of VMS units on the small alia vessels has greatly assisted in this area. The focus of the current plan will be on the conduct of safety at sea training programmes and ensuring existing regulations relating to safety certificates and vessel seaworthiness are enforced. 3.2.7 Alternative Fisheries 77. Given the seasonal nature of the tuna fishery, options for alternative fisheries will continue to be explored with initial work during this plan period focusing on bigeye scad and possibly the introduction of a ring net fishery, noting that SPC will also need to be involved in this work. 3.2.8 Training 78. As new opportunities and markets are achieved, additional training for the Fisheries Division will be required. This will ensure that there is capacity to discharge some of the new roles that have been highlighted for the Division. 79. There is also a need to identify and support training for the private sector, noting that training in value adding techniques is one immediate priority. 4 KEY PROJECTS PROJECT 1.
