History
www.spc.int/OFPMemberCountries

• OFP tuna fishery country reports produced since
  1987
• Became National Fishery Assessments

  separate out the easily updatable bits

Purpose

• Private window into SPC database for each HOF
• Enable tuna data view by juridisdiction rather
  than flag
• Provide similar data to NTFSR but more frequent
  update
• Also access country-specific TUFMAN, CES, ISNRs
  etc
• Assist you in compiling your own reports
  government, WCPFC, preparing for negotiations,
  advising fishers
• (outputs summaries as data files (csv), graphics,
  and/or PDF documents)
