- Abstract
The eighth Commission meeting (COMM-8) of the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO), and the seventh meetings of its Compliance and Technical Committee (CTC-7) and Financial and Administration Committee (FAC-7) took place in Port Vila, Vanuatu, in February 2020, just prior to the lockdown measures that have subsequently prevented many international multilateral negotiations and meetings. This article will address the main outcomes of these meetings, focusing on the progress that the SPRFMO has made and the challenges it faces in a changing environment regarding marine governance.[1] 1 Regional Fisheries Management Organisations Regional fisheries management organisations (RFMOs) are formed by countries with fishing interests in a given geographical area, including neighbouring coastal States and "distant water fishing nations" with fleets in the areas in question. In parallel to all internal developments and on-going work, the process of putting together all the jigsaw pieces in ocean management, and confirming their respective roles, seems to be an important reference point for the SPRFMO in the near future. "Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs): Who are they, what is their geographic coverage on the high seas and which ones should be considered as General RFMOs, Tuna RFMOs and Specialised RFMOs?".
