Amendment to Resolution C-16-08 on Measures for the Conservation and Management of Pacific Bluefin Tuna in the Eastern Pacific Ocean (C-18-02).

This Resolution of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC), recognizing the need for a basin-wide rebuilding plan for Pacific bluefin tuna and a precautionary long-term management framework for the stock and associated fisheries, requires the Commission to implement a provisional rebuilding plan in part by adopting rebuilding targets through adopting catch limits and other necessary management measures based on scientific information provided specified bodies. The Resolution also concerns cooperation and coordination between IATTC and WCPFC and outlines duties of IATTC Members and Cooperating non-Members (CPCs) with regard to the Plan.
