Introduction: Reporting on the VDS
“Fees from fishing licences are delivering stronger than expected revenues in the smallest
Pacific countries, according to the Asian Development Bank's latest Pacific Economic
Monitor. It is the second year in a row that Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru and Tuvalu
have done better than they expected and it is all a result of the Vessel Day Scheme put in
place by the 8 tropical tuna countries that are Parties to the Nauru Agreement”
“arguably the largest and most complex fishery arrangement ever to be put in place”
“there is equally great concern that the PNA does not have the political will necessary to
make the VDS effective as a management tool for the WCPFC tuna fishery” (2010)
“PNA’s ‘vessel day scheme’ is proving to be a masterstroke”
“PNA nations, for example, drove the price demands in the treaty talks with the US that
saw the US agree last year to triple access payment from $21 million to $63 million
annually.”
“Earning Billions from our Tuna Resources - Learning from the successes of the Parties to
the Nauru Agreement”
“$4 billion harvest in WCPFC”

The PNA area, a vast 14.3m km2
of combined EEZ;
same scale as Indian Ocean and SE Asia
8 small island nations – Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru,
Palau, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Is., & Tuvalu -
but in fact all are “large ocean states”; incl 2 smallest island nations Nauru 20km2
and
Tuvalu 26km2

PARTIES TO THE NAURU AGREEMENT
Nauru Agreement Concerning Cooperation in the
Management of Fisheries of Common Interest (Nauru
Agreement - 1982)
Established over leaders Common Concerns /Interests over:
exploitation of common stocks of fish, both within the
EEZs and adjacent waters, by DWFNs
dependence, as developing island states, on the
rational development and utilization of the living
resources within the EEZs, in particular the common
stocks of fish
co-operation in the management of the EEZs to achieve
maximum benefits from the fisheries resources
9. Parties to the Nauru Agreement
PNA… continued
PNA Leading tuna conservation and
management over 3 decades.
Setting MTC for the region through South Pacific Forum
Fisheries Agency and initiating Western and Central Pacific
Fisheries Commission measures.
VDS has increased the purse seine revenues;
Broadly PNA office has been directed to work in 3 general
areas;
growing the PNA cake bigger – more catch MT and higher
value fishery $
take a bigger slice[s] for PNA – benchmark $, tenders
add icing to the PNA cake – vertical integration into
processing and trading – PACIFICAL – Co-Brand
10. Parties to the Nauru Agreement
Vessel Day Scheme
System of tradable fishing effort (days) allocated to the 8
Parties
Hard limit on number of fishing days (~45,000 days) that
can be fished;
Limiting effort controls output;
Scarcity helps maintain prices, conserves, and improves viability
of PNA industries;
Higher prices and scarcity mean higher VDS prices;
Higher prices add value
transfers the burden to fishing fleets to compete amongst
themselves for access through VDS fishing days;
Applies to PS vessels (~280) in EEZs, not AW (PG, SB)

• Marshall Is
• Nauru
• Palau
• PNG
• Solomon Is
• Tuvalu
Bilateral partners;
others.

Value of Days
We are now a “sellers Market”
In 2010 when PNAO started, value of a fishing day was
$1,100
Yet until 2010 PNA had no formal staff or office, just adhoc meetings on the margins.
1/1/2010 PNA Office opened and full time technical staff of 3, today 5 100% self
funded
2012 value of a day was set at $5,000 (minimum
benchmark)
2014 value of a day was set at $6,000; days sold at ≥$7K
2015 value of a day set at $8K,
Traded days now in excess of $10,000 a day
Some days are now being tendered

Value of the PNA Purse Seine Fishery
(US$ million per annum)
Revenue $60m 2010; $200m+ 2013-2014, 300-350m from
2015

Issues
The need for more competitive processes –
tendering/auctioning
Dealing with increasing vessel fishing power
Country-driven exercise in self-reliance - supported by FFA and
SPC, little direct donor support
The sub-regional element
The PNA Office – (why) did PNA have to set up outside the
existing regional organizational structure?
Sharpened fees/domestic development trade-off
Why did it take so long?
Contradiction of substantial bodies of technical advice
Policy incoherence
Sustainability

Recommendations
Establishment of Working Group to address
issues/recommendations highlighted in the Review of the
Purse Seine VDS
Institutional Strengthening
Research Activities
Legal Reforms
VDS Design Proposals
Transparency Proposals
Avoid bureaucratic approaches that would reduce the
flexibility and effectiveness of the PNA decision processes
that had been demonstrated recently
