REVIEW OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS OF MARINE FISHERIES ON MIGRATORY SEABIRDS WITHIN THE AFROTROPICAL REGION Background At the First Session of the Meeting of the Parties to AEWA in November 1999, a project entitled “Study of the potential impacts of marine fisheries on migratory seabirds” was listed amongst the AEWA International Implementation Priorities 2000-2004 (Resolution 1.4). Following the acquisition of funding, the UNEP/AEWA Secretariat contracted the (then) Avian Demography Unit at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, to undertake the project (Cooper 2006). During initial discussions on the scope and ambit of the project, it was agreed that it would be a desktop study, reviewing published and grey literature sources, and further that it would be restricted to the Afrotropical Region (Africa south of the Sahara). An initial draft was completed in 2009, by John Cooper and Samantha Peterson; this focused on the Atlantic Ocean. After a review by the Technical Committee, a number of major issues were raised. In 2013 the UNEP/AEWA Secretariat managed to acquire extra funding and commissioned a revision of the report to BirdLife South Africa. The current document represents a revised and updated version thereof, expanded to cover a broader range of fisheries in both Atlantic and Indian oceans. It was reviewed by the AEWA Technical Committee prior to and during its 12th Meeting in March 2015, where it was approved for submission to MOP6. Action Requested from the Standing Committee The Standing Committee is requested to decide on the submission of the report to the 6th Session of the Meeting of the Parties to AEWA.
