Marshall Islands Marine Resources Authority has begun efforts toward the development, of a Western Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) Conservation and Management Measure (CMM) to address the issue of marine debris and ghost gear. The proposed CMM seeks to address target 14.1 with the support of like-minded members of the Forum Fisheries Agency and the WCPFC for the adoption of the measure at the upcoming annual Tuna Commission meeting in December 2017.
