Benthic Impact Assessments

Bottom Fishery Impact Assessment Standard

The 7th meeting of the Scientific Committee approved a new Bottom Fishery Impact Assessment Standard in October 2019. 

Prior to this the 3rd Session of the Preparatory Conference had adopted the 2011 version of the Bottom Fishery Impact Assessment Standard in February 2012 and previous to this assessments were evaluated by the Science Working Group in terms of the interim Benthic Assessment Framework and a Process for the Preparation and Evaluation of Benthic Assessments adopted at the 4th meeting of the International Consultations.

 

Bottom Fishery Impact Assessment 

The 8th meeting of the Scientific Committee approved a cumulative Bottom Fishing Impact Assessment jointly presented by Australia and New Zealand (under the 2019 BFIAS): SC8-DW07_rev1 in October 2020. The 9th meeting of the Scientific Committee approved an addendum to this BFIA: SC9-DW02.

Prior to this there were separate Bottom Fishing Impact Assessments for New Zealand (2008), European Union (2008), and  Australia (SWG-10-DW-01a and SWG-10-DW-01b) .
