Abstract
The first and major part of this document is an adaptation of an extract from the specification document for a Management Procedure (OMP-equivalent) for Southern Bluefin Tuna by the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT). The adaptation here, though worded primarily with west coast rock lobster in mind, is put forward also in a more general context, viz. serving as a template for any South African fishery for which an OMP might be used to provide scientific recommendations for management (mainly by way of a recommended TAC). Hence in certain sections that are more species-specific, wording that might be used for other resources is also provided in italicised parentheses. The document concludes with parallels drawn from procedures adopted by the Scientific Committee of the International Whaling Commission in regard to the scheduling of milestones within an OMP development or review process.
