| The
purpose of this regional Convention, which was adopted on
24 November 1989 in Wellington, New Zealand, is to
restrict and prohibit the use of drift nets in the South
Pacific region in order to conserve marine living
resources.
The Parties agree "to take measures
not to encourage the use of drift nets by prohibiting
their use and the transhipment of catches, by drift net
processing or import of products to and from drift net
catches and possession of drift nets and by restricting
access of vessels using drift nets to ports."
