  13. SOUTH ATLANTIC FISHERIES COMMISSION ( SAFC) (est.1990) • Exchange Of Information • Recommendations For Conservation • Joint Scientific Research Work (Scientific Sub-Committee) • Conservation In International Waters Joint Statement - 14 July 1999 • Enhanced cooperation • relative stability of stocks • economic significance • co-cordinatated fisheries protection • multilateral arrangements for the high seas NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  14. South Atlantic Fisheries Commission (est. 1990) • 2005/06 Argentina reduced co-operation • ‘Normal’ SAFC meetings suspended • Upset at introduction of long term fishing rights Argentina introduced a law to penalise companies in Argentina which have links to fishing in the Falklands NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  15. Fishing Rights & ITQ • 8 ITQ fisheries – Illex is the main exception • 14 companies hold ITQ • ITQ allocated to mid 2031 • Falklands fleet; 17 Trawlers & 2-3 longliners • Active involvement, effective control NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  16. EU – currently main trading partner • 50% of all Calamari in EU is from FI • Main involvement is with Spain • Mutually beneficial relationship • EU-OCT relationship • EU ‘awareness’ NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  17. Fishery Science Key objective is to calculate Maximum Sustainable Yield for stocks using; Commercial catch & effort statistics, observer data, life cycle research and surveys. Innovative solution for research based on commercial fishing vessel fitted with research equipment and laboratory: 42 days research time per year. NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  18. Fishery Protection Deterring IUU fishing can be done but inevitably has a price. Fishery protection vessel is chartered & costs c. £ 2.8 M p.a. FIG has resorted to using armed force on 2 occasions but that is usually unnecessary! FIGAS – Aerial Surveillance NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  19. Privatised Services • Fishery Protection Vessel £ 2.8 M • Fishery Research Vessel £ 0.6 M • FIPASS Management £ 180 K • Harbour Launch £ 25 K • Port Security £ 100 K • Night watch keeping £ 16 K NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  20. Future Challenges • Volatility of short lived squid species • Conservation of shared stocks in absence of Argentine co-operation and no RFMO • Exporting fish products in face of Argentine ‘discomfort’ on some shipping links • Infrastructure to support fishing industry • Access to capital for fleet renewal and investment in industry development • F/V Working conditions NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  21. Future – Fishing Industry • Increased shareholding in JVs, greater engagement in marketing, selling and processing • Investment in new efficient vessels & downstream operations • Some growth in onshore operations in terms of containerisation, distribution from FI, supporting services, head office functions • Less likely to see onshore processing in FI, apart from specialist operations NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES

  22. Fishing for a Future • Renewable resource – long term industry • Early Oil production – no longer biggest show in town; competition for resources, ultimately some benefits • Later Oil – need to make more of opportunities in the fishery: � Marketing & selling � Vessel operations � Head office roles � Seagoing jobs � Fisheries Department NATURAL RESOURCES - FISHERIES
