# ACAP starts its 2019 round of meetings in Brazil with a Tuna RFMO Strategy Workshop

ACAP's Tuna RFMO Strategy Workshop wrapped up a successful first day of two weeks of the Agreement's 2019 meetings in Floreanopolis, Brazil on Sunday.   Monday 6th commences with the three-day [Ninth Meeting](https://www.acap.aq/en/documents/working-groups/seabird-bycatch-working-group/seabird-bycatch-wg-meeting-9) of the Agreement's Seabird Bycatch Working Group ([SBWG](https://www.acap.aq/en/documents/working-groups/seabird-bycatch-working-group)) when the strategy workshop will report on its conclusions.  The workshop's objectives as set out in the [preparatory document](https://www.acap.aq/en/documents/working-groups/seabird-bycatch-working-group/seabird-bycatch-wg-meeting-9) were to identify the most effective and efficient ways to engage with tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organisations ([tRFMOs](https://iss-foundation.org/glossary/tuna-regional-fishery-management-organization/)) to deliver on ACAP conservation objectives over the period 2019 to 2022 ([click here](https://www.acap.aq/en/latest-news/3279-acap-to-hold-a-workshop-in-brazil-on-sunday-to-consider-its-tuna-rfmo-strategy-2)).
