Period covered
II. Implementation
Future actions / activities needed for the implementation of this Resolution
A new Task Force called Fisheries and Conserved Areas was launched in April 2025 under the leadership of WCPA members. It is co-chaired by Fabrice Stephenson (co-chair of the WCPA marine Working Group) and Jenna Sullivan-Stack (MPA Guide). One of its task is to propose a recommendation to amend the Res055, because it is challenging to apply in many context. The new TF aims to develop a tool and guidance to better assess fisheries risks for marine ecosystems, considering fishing effort and scale with a characterisation of fisheries. This work is planned to be undertaken from June to October 2025.
