seabird mortality
associated with New
Zealand fishing in the New
Zealand EEZ
PRO2010-01 Estimating the nature and
extent of incidental
captures of seabirds,
marine mammals and
turtles in New Zealand
commercial fisheries
PRO2010-02 Research into key areas of
uncertainty or
development of mitigation
techniques for the revised
npoa-seabirds
1. To conduct a review of existing national and international techniques to
estimate cryptic mortality of endangered, threatened and protected species
caused by deepwater fishing activities
2. To develop one or more approaches to estimating cryptic mortality of
endangered, threatened and protected species caused by deepwater fishing
activities
3. To field test one or more approaches to estimating cryptic mortality of
endangered, threatened and protected species caused by deepwater fishing
activities
To describe the conceptual and methodological framework of this risk
assessment approach to guide the completion of similar risk assessments
elsewhere.
1. To estimate the nature and extent of captures of seabirds, marine mammals
and turtles, and the warp strikes of seabirds in New Zealand fisheries for the
fishing years 2009/10, 2010/11 and 2011/12.
1.To provide the information necessary to underpin the revised NPOA-seabirds
or develop mitigation techniques to reduce risk identified via the revised NPOAseabirds.
