In Pacific Island countries Domestic Marine Law outlines the obligations placed on fishers to submit data and these are enforced through Fisheries Regulations and Licensing Conditions. FFA and SPC have compiled the resource material “Guidelines for Fisheries Legislation” to describe the main elements domestic marine law should normally include to ensure a strong legislative background for the collection of data. Additionally, national tuna management plans and other associated documentation can also play a key role in directing the data coverage, providing the institutional support and identifying the local institutions and legal frameworks which will support the collection and management of tuna fisheries data.
