7. Regional alignment Regional policy mapping underway
Various partners undertaking mapping exercises to identify synergies
Regional set of fisheries indicators
Aligned as much as possible with global, regional & subregional policies
Ongoing process
HOF10, Oceans Conference Prep & Working Groups, SDG Taskforce, etc.
Regional policy mapping underway
Various stakeholders & partners are concurrently undertaking mapping exercises to identify overlap / synergies across policies
Regional set of fisheries related indicators
Through the report cards, policy mapping & MEL framework development the aim is to have a regionally agreed upon set of indicators
Align as much as possible with SDG & other global policies, as well as downwards to sub-regional & national plans, & projects
Ongoing process
HOF10, Oceans Conference Prep & Working Groups, SDG Taskforce, etc

10. New song outcomes
Since the development of the New Song the outcomes have been categorised according to the type of outcome. So whether the outcome is about creating an enabling environment, looking at structural change or a more development focussed outcome.

12. Process for selecting the draft indicators
Initial draft set identified in consultation with SPC, OPOC, WorldFish and others
Mapping of international & regional instruments
Consultation with HoF10 delegates
WARNING: Complicated and messy
An initial draft set of indicators for coastal fisheries has been identified following consultation with representatives from SPC, OPOC, WorldFish and LMMA.
Other international instruments and regional reporting requirements were considered in the selection of the indicators, along with data availability and what would be feasible to report on at a regional level. Element of being pragmatic so that we have something to report on.
The next stage of consultation is to utilise the Tenth SPC Heads of Fisheries meeting for consultation with countries and regional partners. This feedback will be utilised to confirm the set of indicators for measuring progress towards the region’s goals for coastal fisheries, with these indicators being used in reporting in the annual Coastal Fishery Report Card.
Not easy, messy, not a simple process, complicated - particularly given the data gaps and challenges in collating data across the region from the range of partners included in the New Song.
