Abstract: The successful negotiation of the Convention on Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPF Convention) in 2000 has resulted in new opportunities and challenges for the Pacific Islands States in their effort to develop their domestic tuna industries. This paper identifies the key management issues arising from the WCPF Convention that are likely to have major impact on the domestic tuna industry development in the Pacific Islands region. The options to develop rights-based fisheries management systems as a broader means of domestic industry development are explored.
