French Polynesia
17 Feb 2024: French Polynesia notified in reference to Footnote 2 that it has not established any purse seine fishery in its EEZ. For this reason, French Polynesia as a coastal participating territory, has notified so far "0" as purse seine limits within its EEZ to the Commission. However due to climate change or other socio-economic factors to be considered, French Polynesia may contemplate changes in fishing strategy in the future.
Consequently and according to CMM 2023-01 para 24 footnote 2, French Polynesia notifies the Secretariat not having established purse seine fisheries in its EEZ yet, so paragraph 24 does not apply to French Polynesia.
