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.
