SUBJECT: COLOMBIA INSTITUTES TUNA MORATORIUM; PLEDGES NEW 
IATTC TACT 
 
REF: STATE 77701 
 
 
1.  (U)  On July 22 the Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario 
(ICA), Colombia's lead agency for fishing-related issues, 
published resolution 002557 creating a moratorium-period on 
tuna fishing from July 22 to December 31.  Luisa Maldonado, 
the marine biologist who drafted the resolution, told Econoff 
that Colombia's largest tuna fishing boats, which account for 
over 90 percent of the country's annual 50,000 plus tuna 
catch, must choose a continuous 49 days during the 
moratorium-period during which they will not fish.  Smaller 
boats must chose a continuous 30 days during which they will 
not fish.  Foreign-flag boats licensed to fish in Colombian 
waters must abide by their own countries' tuna moratoriums. 
 
 
2.  (SBU)  ICA Director-General Andres Valencia publicly 
stated that ICA issued the resolution in accordance with the 
recent decision by the Inter-American Tropical Tuna 
Commission (IATTC) to allow each member country to 
unilaterally determine when it would suspend tuna fishing in 
its waters.  Martha De La Pava, ICA's Director of Fishing and 
Aquaculture, gave Econoff a more nuanced explanation.  De La 
Pava said ICA, the Ministry of the Environment, Housing and 
Territorial Development (MinEnv), and the Ministry of 
Agriculture and Rural Development (MinAg) were furious at the 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) for having excluded them 
from the June IATTC meeting and, more importantly, from 
having prevented a consensus position on conservation and 
management measures for tuna stocks (reftel). 
 
3.  (SBU)  De La Pava admitted the resolution was not 
perfect: rather than creating a simultaneous closure of the 
entire fleet it allowed fishing companies to choose their own 
down-time thus weakening the impact (since they would have to 
take down-time anyway for maintenance, unloading, etc.) 
However, she argued that because the down-time must be for a 
"continuous" period the resolution will still have a positive 
impact since boats do not need 49 continuous days for 
maintenance, unloading, etc. (and they will still need to do 
those functions during the period they fish). 
 
4.  (SBU) De La Pava described the resolution as a partial 
win, taken after three weeks of "in your face," 12-hour days 
negotiating with the MFA and fishing industry 
representatives.  More importantly, she called it a temporary 
measure, and said the GOC had reached tentative agreement 
that ICA, the MinEnv and the MinAg would attend the October 
IATTC meeting, and that Colombia would agree to a 
simultaneous fishery closure for all boats for the next 
fishing season. 
 
5.  (SBU)  Comment.  The MFA has been blistered by the 
Ministries of Agriculture and Environment, as well by NGOs, 
for its IATTC performance in Panama.  The message has 
appeared to have gotten through, helped in part by a new 
Foreign Minister having taken office in the interim.  Post 
will make the formal demarche requested reftel to MFA 
Vice-Minister Camilo Reyes next week. At that point we hope 
to confirm that De La Pava's representation of a shift of GOC 
posture has indeed taken place and that we can expect a 
different GOC approach in La Jolla.
