The first Tuna Data Workshop (TDW-1) was one output of the Global Environment Facility’s Oceanic Fisheries Management Project (OFMP), which endeavors to support PICTs in the initial operational phases of the new Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC, see Figure 1). The project’s long-term aspirations are to improve both the information and knowledge on migratory fish resources of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) Warm Pool Large Marine Ecosystem; as well as aiming to improve the governance of those resources. The Japan Trust fund subsequently  recognised the value of these tuna data workshops and provided its encouragement and financial support for further workshops.

The Observer Tuna Data Workshop (OTDW) endeavors to provide PICTs with the skills and knowledge to use the latest observer reporting tools, so they can better manage their observer placements and readily produce observer data summaries to satisfy their data-related obligations to the WCPFC, while also fullfilling their own national reporting requirements with respect to summarised observer data.

These workshops are financed through the WCPFC-administered Japan Trust Fund.
