Archipelagic SAFE Reports
The Archipelagic Annual SAFE Reports monitor the performance of insular fisheries and ecosystems of the Western Pacific region to assess the effectiveness of the Fishery Ecosystem Plans in meeting their management objectives.

Following the Pelagic Fishery Ecosystem Plan requirements, the Pelagic Annual SAFE Report assists the Council and NMFS in assessing the status of the stocks, fisheries, and effectiveness of the management regime for pelagic species.
