APPENDIX IV APPENDIX IV 
Domestic fishery management policy is set forth in plans 
and regulations by the Federal Government but the implementa- 
tion and endorsement are left to the four coastal states. 
These states also have their own policies concerning fisher- 
ies. No institutional arrangement exists for coordination of 
policies among the four coastal states, although regular 
meetings are held. The responsibilities of the coastal states 
include enforcement of processing regulations concerning 
quality and sanitation, and auditing of fishery enterprises 
which apply for Government assistance. At present, fishing 
vessels are not required to be licensed but are required to 
Maintain precise log books recording their activities and 
location. The Government anticipates that licensing may 
become necessary in the future due to the increasing use of 
quotas to control fish catch.
