Audit Point Definition
refer to Audit Point Definition for CMM 2018-03 (01, 02, 06)
Based on CCM identification of which mitigation measures are being applied to CCM vessels in the applicable relevant area, the CCM submitted a statement in AR Pt2 that:
a. confirms CCM’s implementation through adoption of a national binding measure that requires its flagged longline vessels to:
i. use at least two mitigation measures in paragraph 1(a) or hook shielding devices when fishing south of 30°S
ii. use one of the mitigation measures in paragraph 2 when fishing in area 25°S-30°S
b. confirms CCM’s implementation through adoption of a national binding measure that requires its flagged longline vessels fishing north of 23°N:
i. 24m or more in overall length, to use at least two mitigation measures in paragraph 6, Table 1 CMM 2018-03, including at least one from Column A
ii. less than 24m in overall length, to use at least one of the mitigation measures from Column A in Table 1, CMM 2018-03.
b. describes how it is monitoring and ensuring its fishing vessels comply with seabird mitigation requirements in paragraphs 1,2 and 6 of CMM 2018-03 and how the CCM responds to potential infringements or instances of non-compliance with the relevant requirement.
