Abstract: The Community Development Program promotes the participation of western Pacific communities in fisheries that they have traditionally depended upon, but may not have the capabilities to support continued and substantial participation in, possibly due to economic, regulatory or other barriers. Any western Pacific community interested in participating in the Community Development Program must develop and submit a community development plan to the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) describing the activities, including fishing activities to be conducted under the plan. The information collected will be used to determine whether the communities meet the regulatory requirements for participation in the program, and whether the activities are consistent with the intent of the program, the Magnuson-Stevens Act and other applicable laws. Instructions have now been developed by the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council.
