ANNEX 4

Mitigation measures for seabirds in longline fisheries

Mitigation	Description	Specification
Night setting with minimum deck lighting	No setting between nautical dawn and before nautical dusk. Deck lighting to be kept to a minimum.	Nautical dusk and nautical dawn are defined as set out in the Nautical Almanac tables for relevant latitude, local time and date. Minimum deck lighting should not breach minimum standards for safety and navigation.

For vessels greater than or equal to 35 m: — Deploy at least 1 bird-scaring line. Where practical, vessels are encouraged to use a second tori pole and bird scaring line at times of high bird abundance or activity; both tori lines should be deployed simultaneously, one on each side of the line being set. — Aerial extent of bird-scaring lines must be greater than or equal to 100 m. — Long streamers of sufficient length to reach the sea surface in calm conditions must be used. — Long streamers must be at intervals of no more than 5 m.
		For vessels less than 35 m: — Deploy at least 1 bird-scaring line. — Aerial extent must be greater than or equal to 75 m. — Long and/or short (but greater than 1 m in length) streamers must be used and placed at intervals as follows: — — Short: intervals of no more than 2 m. — Long: intervals of no more than 5 m for the first 55 m of bird scaring line. Additional design and deployment guidelines for bird-scaring lines are provided in Annex 5 to this Regulation.
Line weighting	Line weights to be deployed on the snood prior to setting.	Greater than a total of 45 g attached within 1 m of the hook or; Greater than a total of 60 g attached within 3,5 m of the hook or; Greater than a total of 98 g weight attached within 4 m of the hook.

ANNEX 5

Supplemental Guidelines for Design and Deployment of Tori Lines

Preamble

Minimum technical standards for deployment of tori lines are found in Annex 4 to this Regulation, and are not repeated here. These supplemental guidelines are designed to assist in the preparation and implementation of tori line regulations for longline vessels. While these guidelines are relatively explicit, improvement in tori line effectiveness through experimentation is encouraged, within the requirements of Annex 4 to the Regulation. The guidelines take into account environmental and operational variables such as weather conditions, setting speed and ship size, all of which influence tori line performance and design in protecting baits from birds. Tori line design and use may change to take account of these variables provided that line performance is not compromised. On-going improvement in tori line design is envisaged and consequently review of these guidelines should be undertaken in the future.

Tori line design (see Figure 1)

• 1.An appropriate towed device on the section of the tori line in the water can improve the aerial extension.

• 2.The above water section of the line should be sufficiently light that its movement is unpredictable to avoid habituation by birds and sufficiently heavy to avoid deflection of the line by wind.

• 3.The line is best attached to the vessel with a robust barrel swivel to reduce tangling of the line.

• 4.The streamers should be made of material that is conspicuous and produces an unpredictable lively action (e.g. strong fine line sheathed in red polyurethane tubing) suspended from a robust three-way swivel (that again reduces tangles) attached to the tori line.

• 5.Each streamer should consist of two or more strands.

• 6.Each streamer pair should be detachable by means of a clip so that line stowage is more efficient.

Deployment of tori lines

• 1.The line should be suspended from a pole affixed to the vessel. The tori pole should be set as high as possible so that the line protects bait a good distance astern of the vessel and will not tangle with fishing gear. Greater pole height provides greater bait protection. For example, a height of around 7 m above the water line can give about 100 m of bait protection.

• 2.If vessels use only one tori line it should be set to windward of sinking baits. If baited hooks are set outboard of the wake, the streamer line attachment point to the vessel should be positioned several meters outboard of the side of the vessel that baits are deployed. If vessels use two tori lines, baited hooks should be deployed within the area bounded by the two tori lines.

• 3.Deployment of multiple tori lines is encouraged to provide even greater protection of baits from birds.

• 4.Because there is the potential for line breakage and tangling, spare tori lines should be carried onboard to replace damaged lines and to ensure fishing operations can continue uninterrupted. Breakaways can be incorporated into the tori line to minimize safety and operational problems should a longline float foul or tangle with the in-water extent of a streamer line.

• 5.When fishers use a bait casting machine (BCM), they must ensure coordination of tori line and machine by: i) ensuring the BCM throws directly under the tori line protection, and ii) when using a BCM (or multiple BCMs) that allows throwing to both port and starboard, two tori lines should be used.

• 6.When casting branchline by hand, fishers should ensure that the baited hooks and coiled branchline sections are cast under the tori line protection, avoiding the propeller turbulence which may slow the sink rate.

• 7.Fishers are encouraged to install manual, electric or hydraulic winches to improve ease of deployment and retrieval of tori lines.

General provisions of chartering agreement

The chartering agreement shall contain the following conditions:

The flag CPC has consented in writing to the chartering agreement;

The duration of the fishing operations under the chartering agreement does not exceed 12 months in any calendar year.

Fishing vessels to be chartered shall be registered to responsible contracting parties and cooperating non-contracting parties, which explicitly agree to apply IOTC conservation and management measures and enforce them on their vessels. All flag contracting parties or cooperating non-contracting parties, concerned shall effectively exercise their duty to control their fishing vessels to ensure compliance with IOTC conservation and management measures.

Fishing vessels to be chartered shall be on the IOTC record of vessels authorized to operate in the IOTC Area of Competence.

Without prejudice to the duties of the chartering CPC, the flag CPC shall ensure that the chartered vessel complies with both the legislation of the chartering CPC and of the flag CPCs and shall ensure compliance by chartered vessels with relevant Conservation and Management Measures established by IOTC, in accordance with their rights, obligations and jurisdiction under international law. If the chartered vessel is allowed by the chartering CPC to go and fish in the high seas, the flag CPC is then responsible for controlling the high seas fishing conducted pursuant to the charter arrangement. The chartered vessel shall report VMS and catch data to both the CPCs (chartering and flag) and to the IOTC Secretariat.

All catches (historical and current/future), including bycatch and discards, taken pursuant to the chartering agreement, shall be counted against the quota or fishing possibilities of the chartering CPC. The observer coverage (historical, current/future) on board such vessels shall also be counted against the coverage rate of the chartering CPC for the duration that the vessel fishes under the Charter Agreement.

The chartering CPC shall report to the IOTC all catches, including bycatch and discards, and other information required by the IOTC, and as per the Charter Notification Scheme detailed in Part IV of CMM 19/07.

Vessel Monitoring Systems (VMS) and, as appropriate, tools for differentiation of fishing areas, such as fish tags or marks, shall be used, according to the relevant IOTC Conservation and Management Measures, for effective fishery management.

There shall be observer coverage of at least 5 % of fishing effort.

The chartered vessels shall have a fishing license issued by the chartering CPC, and shall not be on the IOTC IUU list, and/or IUU list of other Regional Fisheries Management Organisations.

When operating under charter agreements, the chartered vessels shall not, to the extent possible, be authorized to use the quota (if any) or entitlement of the flag Contracting Parties or Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties. In no case shall the vessel be authorized to fish under more than one chartering agreement at the same time.

Unless specifically provided in the chartering agreement, and consistent with relevant domestic law and regulation, the catches of the chartered vessels shall be unloaded exclusively in the Ports of the chartering Contracting Party or under its direct supervision in order to assure that the activities of the chartered vessels do not undermine IOTC Conservation and Management Measures.

The chartered vessel shall at all times carry a copy of the charter documentation.
