Alaska cod fishery completes 3rd annual surveillance audit
(UNITED STATES, 10/11/2016)
The Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute (ASMI) has announced the Alaska cod (Gadus macrocephalus) fishery completed the third annual surveillance audit for Alaska Responsible Fisheries Management (RFM) certification.
Originally certified in April 2013, the objective of an annual audit is to monitor any changes since the previous assessment in the management regime, regulations and their implementation since the previous assessment and to determine whether these changes and current practices, remain consistent with the overall confidence rating scorings of the fishery allocated during initial certification.
In addition to this, any areas reported as “items for surveillance” or corrective action plans in the previous assessment are reassessed and a new conclusion on consistency of these items with the Conformance Criteria is given accordingly.
ASMI informed that no non-conformances were identified since certification was granted.
The surveillance assessment was conducted according to the Global Trust Certification procedures for Alaska Responsible Fisheries Management Certification using the Alaska RFM Standard V1.2 fundamental clauses as the assessment framework.
Following this 3rd surveillance assessment, the assessment team recommends that continued Certification under the Alaska Responsible Fisheries Management Certification Program.
Global Trust Certification confirms that certification is maintained for the management system of the applicant fishery, the Pacific cod commercial fishery employing bottom trawl gear, longline gear, pot gear and jig gear within Alaska jurisdiction, and subjected to federal [National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS)/North Pacific Fishery Management Council (NPFMC)] and state [Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) & Board of Fisheries (BOF)] management.
