Certain other coastal States to establish, notify and implement limit for purse seine fishing in their waters
Full Text
23. Other coastal States within the Convention Area other than those referred to in paragraph 20 and paragraph 22 shall establish effort limits, or equivalent catch limits for purse seine fisheries within their EEZs that reflect the geographical distributions of skipjack, yellowfin, and bigeye tunas, and are consistent with the objectives for those species. Those coastal States that have already notified limits to the Commission shall
restrict purse seine effort and/or catch within their EEZs in accordance with those limits.  Those coastal State CCMs that have yet to notify limits to the Commission shall do so by 30 June 2014.

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.
