<b><i>REGISTER NOW FOR THE 2ND INTERNATIONAL FISHERS FORUM</i></b> <br>
<b><i>NOVEMBER 19-22, 2002</i></b> <br>
<b><i>HONOLULU, HAWAII</i></b> <br>

<br>
<br>
The primary mission of the forum is to convene an international meeting
of fishermen to address possible solutions to incidental bycatch of sea
turtles and seabirds by longline fishing gear. <br>
<br>
The objectives of the meeting are to: <br>
<br>
(1) increase the awareness of fishermen that incidental longline catch of
seabirds and sea turtles may pose a serious problem to these populations
and to the continued operations of longline fishing; <br>
<br>
(2) promote the development and use of practical and effective seabird
and sea turtle management and mitigation measures by longline fishermen;
<br>
<br>
(3) foster an exchange and dissemination of information among fishermen,
scientists, resource managers, and other interested parties on the
use of mitigation measures, and the development of coordinated approaches
to testing new measures; <br>
<br>
(4) promote the development and implementation of collaborative
mitigation research studies by scientists, fishermen, resource managers,
and other interested parties; and, <br>
<br>
(5) build on first International Fishers Forum (IFF1) to encourage
continued progress and new participants. <br>
<br>
The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council intends to host
the Second International Fishers Forum (IFF2) in Honolulu, Hawaii,
November 19-22, 2002. In November 2000, New Zealand hosted the IFF1
which focused on methods to solve the incidental catch of seabirds by
longline fishing gear. IFF2 will build on the efforts made by the
participants at IFF1, and will also include discussions on sea turtle
biology and behavior, and on reducing and minimizing the harmful effects
of interactions between sea turtles and longline gear. <br>
<br>
There are currently about 18,000 longline vessels (demersal and pelagic)
operating in the Pacific Ocean, and the total fleet size is being
augmented by expansion of fleets in South and East Asia, the Pacific
Islands, and South and Central America. There are about 2,800
longline vessels operating in the Atlantic Ocean, 200 in the waters
surrounding the Antarctic Continent, and 300 in the Indian Ocean. The
expansion of longline fishing effort will likely lead to increases in the
incidental catches of seabirds and sea turtles. Consequently, there is a
need to increase awareness and to seek solutions to these problems.
Fishermen need to be part of the solution. <br>
