RFMO HS Management Measures

Multiple Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) have adopted harvest strategies for a variety of species. While each harvest strategy is based on the same fundamental elements and processes, the policy measures themselves can be organized in different ways. This page includes links to examples of international harvest strategy measures.

Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)

Southern Bluefin Tuna
Resolution on the Adoption of a Management Procedure, details the parameters of the harvest strategy and TAC for the current management period.

Specifications of the CCSBT Management Procedure, outlines the non-technical and technical elements that make up the harvest strategy.

Resolution on the Allocation of the Global Tuna Allowable Catch, establishes the TAC for the current 3-year management period, using the harvest strategy as a basis.


Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)

Reference Points
Resolution 15/10 On Target and Limit Reference Points and a Decision Framework, outlines reference points for albacore, swordfish, and tropical tunas, along with recommendations for evaluating such reference points.

Skipjack Tuna

Atlantic Cod
Conservation and Enforcement Measures of 2019, page 10; details the full Interim 3NO Cod Conservation Plan and Rebuilding Strategy, otherwise known as the harvest strategy, for Cod.


South East Atlantic Fisheries Organization (SEAFO)

Deep Sea Red Crab
Marine Resoure Fact Sheet 2021, outlines the HCR and TAC for the current management period.

Many lessons to be learned from the management of Eastern Atlantic bluefin tuna. Now, the stock is on the brink of having a harvest strategy adopted at #ICCAT #historyinthemaking

Happening now. I have the honor of sharing the #OceanBaseCamp stage with @stevenadolf to discuss what we can learn from Easter Atlantic #BluefinTuna as we evolve fisheries management in to future.
