This paper investigates six possible SLAs which are run for the evaluation trials developed at the AWMP Intersessional Workshop (IWC, 2015). Candidates are presented ranging from providing complete satisfaction of the conservation performance criterion for all evaluation trials, to alternatives that sacrifice performance on this count to increasing extents for improved need satisfaction. Need is better satisfied over the first 20 years than over 100 years for these SLAs in these trials.
