Bangkok, Thailand 3-4 October 2013

INTRODUCTION

1. The Special Meeting of the Council of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) was convened in Bangkok, Thailand on 3-4 October 2013. The Meeting was attended by the Council Directors for Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam together with their respective delegations, as well as the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General and the senior officials of SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments. The list of participants appears as Annex 1.

2. The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council was organized in response to the recommendation of the 45th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in April 2013 for SEAFDEC to provide a forum where important management issues to improve the operations of SEAFDEC could be thoroughly discussed. More specifically, the Council suggested that the Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council could focus the discussion on the recommendations of the Third SEAFDEC Review, revisions of the Plans of Operation of SEAFDEC Departments, and the proposed Plans of Operation of the Secretariat as well as the new SEAFDEC Department on Inland Fisheries Resources Development and Management.

I. OPENING OF THE MEETING

3. On behalf of the Government of Thailand as host of the Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, the Deputy Director-General of the Department of Fisheries of Thailand and Alternate SEAFDEC Council Director for Thailand, Mr. Chirdsak Vongkamolchoon welcomed the Council Directors and the other delegates to the Meeting. He recalled that in the past, two SEAFDEC review exercises had been conducted, the results of which were considered by the Council. Therefore, this Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council would be an opportune time to discuss and consider the results and recommendations of the Third SEAFDEC Review. He encouraged the Council Directors to discuss and rationally exchange views on this matter in order to come up with clear directives to SEAFDEC to improve its future operations. He expressed the hope for the successful results of the Meeting, and reiterated his wish for the pleasant stay of the Meeting participants in Bangkok.

4. On behalf of the Council Director for the Philippines and Chairperson of the SEAFDEC Council for 2013-2014, the Alternate SEAFDEC Council Director for the Philippines, Mrs. Drusila Esther E. Bayate reiterated the importance of the Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council since the accomplishments of SEAFDEC during the past decade with corresponding funding support for the activities from various sources would be reported and discussed. Based on such achievements, the Council could suggest the ways and means of improving the future programs of SEAFDEC to ensure that emerging fisheries issues confronting the Southeast Asian region are addressed as well as those other important issues that hinder the effective implementation of SEAFDEC programs and activities. She then declared the Meeting opened, and subsequently chaired the Meeting.

5. The Council was informed of the nomination put forward by the Government of Thailand for Dr. Chumnarn Pongsri to serve as the Chief of the Training Department and concurrent Secretary- General of SEAFDEC from 1 October 2013 until 30 September 2015. While conveying their concurrence to the re-appointment Dr. Chumnarn Pongsri to such positions, the Council Directors however expressed the apprehension that holding the position of Secretary-General for too many successive terms could be detrimental to the working efficiency of the Center. The Council therefore suggested that in the future, this issue should be revisited and put up for future discussion.

II. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA AND ARRANGEMENTS OF THE MEETING

6. The Council adopted the Agenda of the Meeting, which appears as Annex 2.

III. REVIEW OF SEAFDEC ACTIVITIES, ACHIEVEMENTS AND FINANCIAL SITUATION

7. The Meeting was informed that the report on SEAFDEC activities, achievements, and financial situation was compiled based on the set of questionnaires prepared by the SEAFDEC Council Director for Japan as initially proposed during the 45th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council.

3.1 Financial Situation of SEAFDEC in 2003-2012

8. The Council took note of the Financial Situation of SEAFDEC in 2003-2012 (Annex 3), including the contributions, expenditures and surplus/deficit of SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments funds, the expenditures incurred by the SEAFDEC research vessels, and the fund balance of SEAFDEC during the past ten years.

9. In response to the query about one item in the financial report on the expenditure for the construction of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 which was granted by the Government of Japan to SEAFDEC, the Council was informed that such item had been recorded in the SEAFDEC Financial Statement in 2003- 2004 as in kind contribution from the Government of Japan. Therefore, in the said Financial Statement such item had been correspondingly recorded under in kind expenditure of the contribution from the Government of Japan.

10. While expressing concern on the deficits incurred by the Departments during the last ten years except AQD, as indicated in the report of the Financial Situation of SEAFDEC, the Council Director for Indonesia cited that such deficit financial situation cannot be considered as a reason to justify the calculations for increased MRC of the Member Countries.

3.2 SEAFDEC Programs: Funding and Achievements in 2003-2012

11. The Council was informed of the summary achievements of the programs and activities of the SEAFDEC Departments and the Secretariat in 2003-2012 (Annex 4). In addition, information on the respective budget of the activities, and the achievements made under individual programs/projects were also summarized and provided to the Council. The Council took note of the budget allocations from various sources for the implementation of programs/projects by the Departments and the Secretariat, the utilization of the budget for various categories of activities, and the overall achievements of the programs/projects during the past ten years.

12. The Council Director for Japan appreciated the effort of SEAFDEC in compiling the information related to its achievements. While taking note of the high proportion of contributions from the governments hosting the SEAFDEC Departments, he however expressed the concern on the unbalanced utilization of funds among the SEAFDEC Departments, especially considering the importance of the activities of the Departments more particularly those of MFRD on food safety. He also cited that although the achievements of AQD are significant, the big number of trainees of AQD which could come mainly from its host country, challenges the objective of adequately extending the technologies to the other countries in the region. He therefore suggested that the representation of the countries in the training courses conducted by SEAFDEC should also be reported and the participation of the Member Countries in such training activities should be enhanced. Moreover, the Council reiterated that in order to minimize possible duplication of efforts among the Departments, close collaboration should be improved for relevant activities, for instance, post-harvest technologies could be developed in more than one department, i.e. MFRD could focus on marine and freshwater products while AQD on aquaculture products.

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

13. The Council Director for Vietnam also appreciated the work of SEAFDEC in compiling the achievements which provided valuable information that could be used for the evaluation of SEAFDEC activities. Specifically, TD was commended for conducting an on-site training course on the promotion of rights-based fisheries management in Vietnam, which had provided a practical tool for the local government to implement such approach.

14. While commending SEAFDEC for its achievements, the Council Director for Cambodia suggested that in the future SEAFDEC could consider increasing the participation of the countries’ local staff while conducting on-site training activities in the Member Countries. This would maximize the benefits that the Member Countries could obtain from such training activities.

3.3 Suggested Way Forward for Improving SEAFDEC’s Work Efficiency

15. The Council Director for Japan introduced “the Suggested Way Forward for Improving SEAFDEC’s Work Efficiency” (Annex 5) to the Meeting. While appreciating the efforts of SEAFDEC in compiling the last decade achievements of its programs and activities, he also pointed out that such initiative may not yet be very comprehensive. Considering that the elements in the 2011 Resolution and Plan of Action which had been used as basis for the formulation of SEAFDEC program and activities cover a wide range of fisheries issues, he also suggested that prioritization of the SEAFDEC activities should be carried out so that the limited financial and human resources could be utilized in the most effective manner.

16. He also mentioned that while the Government of Japan intends to continue its support to SEAFDEC, it also expects SEAFDEC to improve its performance especially in the evaluation of the impacts and consequences of its programs and activities to ensure that the real benefits of such activities could be fairly shared among the Member Countries, and that the benefits of such programs and activities should be properly assessed. He added that the cost-benefit analysis of such programs should be regularly conducted and that SEAFDEC should also consider prioritizing its activities taking into consideration the balance between international market requirements for sustainable utilization of fisheries resources and domestic market requirements on food security/safety for local consumption. He also suggested that SEAFDEC should consider streamlining the activities of the Departments and the Secretariat to minimize duplication of functions, and enhance cost efficiency of the Center in order that the Member Countries could maximize the benefits from such activities in spite of the financial and human resources constraints of the Center.

17. The Council Director for Indonesia mentioned that the presentation made by the Council Director for Japan is complementary to the recommendations of the Third SEAFDEC Review. He agreed with the Council Director for Japan that SEAFDEC should prioritize its programs within the available budget. While suggesting that the programs of work of the Technical Departments should be demarcated, he inquired about the activities of MFRD which had been progressively getting very minimal since 2008. He also suggested that the “List of issues that should be considered/undertaken by SEAFDEC” annexed in the Report of the Third SEAFDEC Review should be prioritized to be used during the program review at the next Meeting of the SEAFDEC Program Committee. Nevertheless, the Council Director for Japan also expressed the concern that although such list may not be exhaustive enough, it could serve as starting point, while Member Countries could provide additional issues that are considered priorities of the countries.

18. The Council Directors for Thailand and Singapore supported the initiative made by Japan and requested SEAFDEC to consider the possibility of reviewing the progress of its activities periodically. The Council Director for Singapore added that performance/cost-benefit analysis of the SEAFDEC activities should be carried out in order that available resources could be maximized and clearer outcomes of the activities could be reflected. With respect to the comment on reduced fund allocation and expenditure of MFRD programs, the Council Director for Singapore explained that MFRD programs had been implemented by the collaborating center without receiving funds from external sources. In such a situation, funding and contribution in kind received by the collaborating center have not been included in the Financial Report of SEAFDEC.

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

19. The Council Director for Cambodia also appreciated the initiative of Japan and suggested that this issue should be discussed during the next Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council. He added that this issue should be first referred for internal discussion in the Member Countries and presented to the Program Committee for endorsement before this is brought for discussion during the next Council Meeting.

20. The Council Director for Vietnam mentioned that the Program Committee has the mechanism to review the programs of SEAFDEC. However, since the involvement of the countries in the planning of SEAFDEC programs had been very minimal, he suggested that this should be enhanced in the future, and that the areas prioritized by the Council could be considered during the forthcoming meeting of the Program Committee.

21. In this connection, the Council Director for Japan expressed the need for the SEAFDEC Program Committee to carry out a comprehensive review of the programs of SEAFDEC based on the priorities to be established by the Council, and that a performance assessment mechanism should established for the benefit of the Member Countries. The Council Director for Brunei Darussalam expressed the view that although the priorities are different among the Member Countries, such priorities should also be based on the requirements of the region, and not just on the requirements of the proponents considering funds and human resources limitations, as pointed out by the Council Director for Japan. He also stressed that the excessive use of MRC for the running and maintenance of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 should be reexamined in the future.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE THIRD SEAFDEC REVIEW

22. The Report of the Third SEAFDEC Review (Annex 6), which was submitted to the Council during its 45th Meeting in April 2013, was resubmitted to the Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council. The recommendations were subsequently noted by the Council, especially the financial implications as well as the indications for possible amendment of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC, and cost and benefit of such recommendations (Annex 7) which were analyzed by the SEAFDEC Secretariat as requested during the 45thMeeting of the SEAFDEC Council.

23. The Council Director for Japan expressed the view that the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee was supposed to recommend the ways and means for SEAFDEC to utilize the available funds in a more efficient manner. However, some recommendations seem to entail significant cost implications which could possibly create additional burden to the Member Countries. Since such a situation could not be accepted by the countries in the foreseeable future, he suggested that SEAFDEC should continue to prudently utilize its existing funds and operate in a more efficient manner by prioritizing its programs/projects in the future. He added that some recommendations of the Review Committee that seem to have implications to amend the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC could change the fundamental structure of SEAFDEC, and expressed the view that in such a case that the Government of Japan may have to consider reviewing its involvement in SEAFDEC if the original integrity of the Center could no longer be maintained.

24. The Council Director for Thailand emphasized that the Council should take note of the recommendations of the Third SEAFDEC Review, and to take into consideration the applicability and benefits of each recommendation to SEAFDEC. Considering that some recommendations could have pros and cons, he suggested that clarification on such recommendations should be made.

25. The Council Director for Vietnam reiterated that the set-up of SEAFDEC having technical Departments to undertake technical activities is unique, making SEAFDEC different from other organizations. Therefore, the current structure of SEAFDEC seems very appropriate. However, SEAFDEC should strengthen its mechanism to improve program formulation and implementation, as well as streamline its programs/projects in order to come up with more tangible results.

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

26. While commending the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee for coming up with significant recommendations, the Council Director for Cambodia cited that although some of the recommendations could be immediately implemented, some may take longer time to implement in a step-by-step manner. More particularly, he referred to the need to enhance the countries’ ownership of SEAFDEC and the possibility of setting-up an independent Secretariat, which could be revisited in the future.

27. The Council Director for Malaysia also commended the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee for its useful recommendations. While expressing support to the Committee’s recommendations, he suggested that such recommendations should be thoroughly discussed by the Council and that the views of the Council should be taken into consideration before putting any of these recommendations into practice.

V. OTHER MATTERS

5.1 Proposed Plans of Operation and Programs of Work of SEAFDEC Departments and Secretariat

29. The Council was informed on the Proposed Revisions of the Functions, Programs of Work and the corresponding structures of TD, MFRD, AQD, MFRDMD; the proposed the Plan of Operation and Program of Work of IFRDMD; as well as the proposed Functions and Program of Work of the SEAFDEC Secretariat (Annexes 8-13). The Council was also informed that since the establishment of SEAFDEC, the Plans of Operation of SEAFDEC Departments had been regularly reviewed and revised to reflect the fisheries situation and priority/needs of the Member Countries, or when there are significant changes in the fisheries situation and structure of SEAFDEC. With the adoption of the Resolution and Plan of Action during the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference in 2011 and the proposed the establishment of IFRDMD, this is therefore an opportune time for SEAFDEC to consider reviewing and updating the Functions and Programs of Work of the respective Departments and the Secretariat.

30. The Council expressed the view that it might still be premature for the Council to make decision at this Meeting on the Proposed Revised Plans of Operation, prior to the final decision of the Council on the recommendations of the Third SEAFDEC Review. As the Council Directors are in the process of reviewing the priority areas of their respective countries, the Council recommended that such priorities, once available, should be taken into consideration in finalizing the Plans of Operation and Programs of Work of SEAFDEC for consideration by the SEAFDEC Council at its next Meeting in 2014.

31. Moreover, the Council suggested that in the proposed revisions of the Plans of Operation, Programs of Work, and Structures, the respective Departments should identify the proposed changes with respect to the latest version that had been approved by the Council, to enable the Council to compare the differences. In addition, sources of funds for operations and implementation of programs and projects should be elaborated on. Nevertheless, the Council also stressed that in the formulation of

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

annual programs of SEAFDEC, the programs would still be properly scrutinized by the SEAFDEC Program Committee and subsequently endorsed to the Council for approval.

32. During the discussion, the Council provided directives on certain aspects that should be incorporated in the proposed revisions of the structures of the SEAFDEC Departments and Secretariat, as follows:

Training Department (TD)  Functions of the “Training and Coordination Section” should include the conduct of training needs assessment and course evaluation.  Linkage of work among Divisions should be clarified, e.g. conduct of training by Information and Training Division on subjects which are mainly under the responsibility of other technical divisions, the main functions of which are focused on R&D activities.  Coordination between TD and MFRDMD especially in overlapping areas, e.g. development of management plan for small-scale fisheries, should be elaborated on and enhanced.

Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD)  The Functions and Programs of Works should put more emphasis on traceability to enhance safety and quality of fish and fishery products.

Aquaculture Department (AQD) (no comments)

Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD)  Ensure that possible duplication of the activities among Departments is avoided, as expressed by the Council Directors for Vietnam, Indonesia and Myanmar.

Inland Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (IFRDMD)  Ensure that the activities of IFRDMD do not include aquaculture.

Secretariat (no comments)

5.2 Proposed Amendment to the Financial Regulations

33. The Council took note of the proposed amendment of the SEAFDEC Financial Regulations in order to reflect the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC), which has been put into practice under the financial system of SEAFDEC since 2007. The Council Directors for Singapore and Indonesia requested that the approved method of calculation be included in the financial regulation as annexure.

34. After the discussion, the Council recommended that the Financial Regulation 4.1 should be amended to wit:

The annual contribution from Member Countries in the form of Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) shall be made in United States Dollars, not later than 31 March of the current fiscal year. The method to calculate the MRC from Member Countries should be unanimously agreed upon by the Council.

35. The Council also agreed that each country should make internal consultations with their respective concerned national agencies, in order that the proposed amendment to the financial regulation could be discussed again and considered at the 46thMeeting of the SEAFDEC Council in 2014.

5.3 Others

36. The Council Director for Japan shared the information on “Glass Eels: Assessing Supply Chain and Market Impacts of a CITES Listing on Anguilla Species” (Annex 14) from TRAFFIC Bulletin Vol. 25 No.1 (2013), and expressed the concern on the declining glass eel resources which are being highly

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

exploited for their high price, and on the farming of eel species that makes use of wild juveniles with low natural recovery rate. The Council Director for the Philippines informed the Meeting that similar problems are also faced by the Philippines, and suggested that this should be taken into consideration by all Member Countries. In this connection, the Council Director for Japan also suggested that concrete proposals on a program for the conservation and management of the eel species could be presented during the next Program Committee Meeting.

5.4 General Comments and Way Forward

37. After taking note of the presentations made by the existing SEAFDEC Departments and the Secretariat, the Council recommended that SEAFDEC should continue its operations in accordance with their respective current Plans of Operation and Programs of Work, without changing of its current structure. In addition, SEAFDEC should take into consideration the appropriate recommendations of the Third SEAFDEC Review, particularly the strategic recommendations most of which are already in line with the existing practices of SEAFDEC and those that have no financial implications nor indications of amending the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC. Moreover, close coordination among the Departments and the Secretariat should continue to avoid the duplication of functions and works. In addition, once the countries have already identified their priorities, these should also be considered by SEAFDEC in the formulation and implementation of its programs.

38. The Council Directors for Japan and Singapore recommended that the SEAFDEC Secretariat should consider establishing a routine review mechanism/process, preferably every three years to evaluate the performance of the SEAFDEC programs/projects. This mechanism should be discussed at the forthcoming Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council.

VI. ADOPTION OF THE REPORT OF THE MEETING

39. The Council adopted the Report of the Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council on 4 October 2013.

VII. CLOSING OF THE MEETING

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION OF SEAFDEC IN 2003-2012

GENERAL PERSPECTIVE

The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) is an autonomous intergovernmental organization established in 1967 to promote fisheries development in Southeast Asia. SEAFDEC specifically aims to develop the fishery potentials in the region through training, research and information services to improve the food supply by rational utilization and development of the fisheries resources. The Member Countries contribute funds for the operations of SEAFDEC, especially for the Secretariat and Departments. In addition, Member Countries hosting SEAFDEC Departments also contribute and support the respective Departments, i.e. the Government of Malaysia for MFRDMD, Government of the Philippines for AQD, Government of Singapore for MFRD and the Government of Thailand for TD. Moreover, SEAFDEC also receives other funding support such as those from the Government of Japan as well as from international/regional organizations, institutions and agencies collaborating with SEAFDEC, and also generates miscellaneous receipts. All these items are considered as contributions to SEAFDEC, which are expended in accordance with the Financial Regulations of SEAFDEC.

The expenditures incurred by SEAFDEC in its operation are classified into programs of activities such as Research, Training, Information, Collaborative and Other Programs, which respectively include the salaries and administrative costs directly related to the programs of activities. Meanwhile, another type of expenditures include those for administrative and non-program activities, and capital outlay. Based on SEAFDEC fiscal year which is from 1st January to 31st December of each year (Regulation 2: Fiscal Year of the SEAFDEC Financial Regulations (1989)), the financial reports of SEAFDEC consist of Balance Sheets which indicate the financial positions such as assets, liabilities and accumulated fund balances. Financial statements on Contributions and Expenditures present the total contributions received with the corresponding total expenditures and the results of implementation of programs of activities and management of each Department and the Secretariat, respectively as at specific year ended, and the surplus (Contributions>Expenditures) or deficit (Expenditures>Contributions), as the case may be, is also shown. The surplus or deficit of each year ended is carried over as accumulated funds of the subsequent beginning year.

The statement of fund balances presents the accumulated fund balance at the year ended for each category of funds, such as Operating Fund (including Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC)), Fellowship Fund and Other Funds. The Secretariat and the four Departments have their respective external auditors that prepare and submit the audited financial reports, while the audited consolidated financial reports of the Center is prepared and audited by the external auditors of the Secretariat.

Information on the financial status of the Secretariat and the four Departments from 2003 to 2012 were submitted by each Department and compiled by the Secretariat. The figures in each table represent the amount of contributions from the Member Countries including the host Member Countries and other donors/sources.

Overview of the Secretariat financial situation in 2003-2012

The total contributions received by the Secretariat from 2003 to 2012 amounted to US$12,713,507.00 while the total expenditures for the same period from 2003 to 2012 totalled US$14,708,075.00. This indicates a total deficit (expenditures > contributions) of US$1,994,568.00. The reasons of the surplus and deficit are explained below:

1. Programs under Japanese Trust Fund No. 1 were terminated in 2007 while the contributions to SEAFDEC were provided only until 2003. This means that during the period from 2004 to 2007, no contributions were received and consequently recorded in the financial reports. However, the financial reports indicated the expenditures which were charged to the accumulated funds (unspent fund) of Japanese Trust Fund No. 1. This is the main reason for the deficits shown in the financial

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

report for the period from 2003 to 2005 (US$341,553.00, US$236,760.00 and US$918,434.00, respectively); 2. In 2007-2008, the contributions received through Japanese Trust Fund Nos. 2 & 4 were less than the expenditures. This resulted in deficits in the financial reports at US$631,627.00 in 2007 and US$670,411.00 in 2008; and 3. In 2011, surplus (contributions > expenditures) was recorded in the financial reports amounting to US$537,019.00. This was due to the contributions received by the Secretariat from Japanese Trust Fund Nos. 2 and 5, and Sida Fund more than the actual expenditures. Therefore, a surplus was accumulated as indicated in the financial reports for 2011.

SUMMARY ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PROGRAMS AND ACTIVITIES OF THE SEAFDEC DEPARTMENTS AND SECRETARIAT IN 2003-2012

During the period from 2003-2012, SEAFDEC implemented 84 projects using total SEAFDEC funds of 47,433,377 US$, most of which or about 37% was utilized for research while 19% was used for training, 16% for technology development, 12% for information, 9% for policy development, and 7% for other activities (Table 1).

The Aquaculture Department (AQD) used a significant 63% of the total funds followed by the Secretariat at 16% and the Training Department (TD) at 12%, while the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD) and Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD) used the remaining 5% and 4%, respectively. The countries hosting the Departments contributed a major portion of the total funds at 47% while the Japanese Trust Fund contributed about 24%, with the total external funds contributed about 8%, Sida funds and internally generated funds at 6% each, other Japan funds at 5%, and MRC and the ASEAN Foundation at 2% each (Table 2, Figure 1).

As the host of AQD, Philippines allocated during the said period a total of 21,003,590 US$ that represented about 71% of the total funds available at AQD, the remaining 29% of which was provided by external funds at 11%, internally-generated funds at 9%, Japanese Trust Fund at 7%, and other Japan Fund at 2%. Of the total funds used by AQD, 52% was spent for research, 23% for technology development and improvement, 10% for training and capacity building, 7% for information activities, 4% for policy development, and another 4% for other expenditures including administrative costs. With the said total funds available, AQD was able to implement 780 studies that led to phenomenal achievements that include generation of viable aquaculture technologies that have been adopted in the Southeast Asian region. AQD has also amassed scientific data through the findings of its research studies that were published in 300 scientific papers leading to the improvement of aquaculture technologies. These improved technologies had been transferred to the stakeholders in the form of farmer-friendly information materials. In addition, about 3,000 participants completed the 200 training courses offered by AQD most of whom are now holding vital positions in their respective home agencies/countries.

The SEAFDEC Secretariat has been sharing a certain portion of the annual allocations provided by the Government of Thailand to TD, as well as from the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) of the SEAFDEC Member Countries and from various donors. From the total funds of 7,672,386 US$ available for the operations of the Secretariat, 32% was used for information activities, 28% for administrative costs, 25% for training and capacity building, 11% for policy development, 3% for collaborative research, and 1% for technical development. The activities of the Secretariat had been beneficial to the Member Countries, especially the regionalization of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) that facilitated the adoption of the CCRF in the Southeast Asian countries. The Regional Guidelines on One Village, One Fisheries Product (FOVOP) is now being adapted in the region as a tool to improve livelihoods of fishers in the region and eradicate poverty in fishing communities. Through the establishment and hosting the Working Group on Regional Fisheries Policy (WGRFP) which was later on changed to Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN) enabled qualified junior officers from the ASEAN countries to enhance their capacity in developing fisheries policy recommendations.

As host of the Training Department (TD), the Government of Thailand provided a total of 1,286,463 US$ during the same ten-year period, which represented 23% of the total funds of 5,645,999 US$ available for the programs of TD. The Japanese Trust Fund provided 52% of the total funds of TD while other Japan funds contributed 9%, other funds about 3%, and FAO-GEF about 1%. TD is also provided a portion of the MRC to defray the expenses for the operation of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 that contributed about 12% to the total funds of TD. About 49% of the total funds was used for training and capacity building, 20% for information activities, 17% for research, 12% for technical development, 3% for policy development, and very minimal amount of other activities. With the total funds available, TD was able to promote responsible tropical marine capture fisheries management in the Southeast Asian region, including the training of fisheries and technical officers in the region on sustainable fisheries management as well as sustainable fishing practices and gears. In line with the goal of SEAFDEC to mitigate illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing, TD has provided the fora for discussing the measures to eliminate IUU fishing in the region for the sustainable management of fisheries. TD also

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

provided for personnel from the Member Countries, tailor-made training courses which are designed based on their requirements for sustainable fisheries practices and management. With the operation of MV SEAFDEC2, SEAFDEC was able to conduct surveys of fisheries resources in relevant countries and compiled the necessary data.

The Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD) had a total funds available for its programs in the same ten-year period of 1,921,571 US$ of which about 74% was provided by the Japanese Trust Fund, 22% by other Japan fund, and 4% by the Government of Singapore as host of MFRD. It is also noted that the budget used by MFRD programs is not included project funded by Australian Government and JICA in which were implemented before 2008. Out of the total funds available at MFRD, 40% was used for information dissemination activities, 33% for training and capacity building, 9% for technology development and improvement, 9% for policy development, 6% for research, and 3% for other activities. Through the years, MFRD has developed fisheries post-harvest technology which is directed towards optimizing the utilization of available fisheries resources as well as technical advancements in the handling, preservation, maintaining quality and safety of fish and fish products that are aimed at reducing post-harvest losses and wastage. Moreover, such advancements also target the need to upgrade the fish and fisheries products from the Southeast Asian region to make these competitive not only in the regional market but in the international trade arena as well.

During the same ten-year period, the total funds available for the programs of the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD) totaled 2,369,999 US$, of which 80% was provided by the Japanese Trust Fund, 19% by other Japan funds, and about 1% by the Government of Malaysia as host of MFRDMD. Out of the total funds available, 35% was used for research, 29% for training and capacity building, 26% for information activities, 7% for policy development, 2% for other activities, and 1% for technology development and improvement. With such funds available, MFRDMD was able to provide scientific basis for the development of guidelines for the sustainable development and management of marine fishery resources in the Southeast Asian region. MFRDMD was also able to enhance the knowledge and skills of technical officers from the ASEAN countries in tagging of the migratory pelagic species, specifically the mackerels. This was meant to determine the stock structure of small pelagic fishes, starting with the mackerels. The MFRDMD also developed guidelines on the conservation and management of the marine turtles which are known to inhabit the waters of Southeast Asia. This has increased awareness of the peoples of Southeast Asia on the need to conserve the marine turtles. Prior to the development of the new SEAFDEC Department that will focus on inland fisheries as an important economic sector in the region, MFRDMD compiled information on inland capture fisheries in the Southeast Asian region. The information included fishing gear and practices, fish species, environmental conditions, and related socio-economic activities.

Figure 1. Funding source ratio for programs of each SEAFDEC Department during 2003-2012.

With the total funds available for its programs, SEAFDEC was able to successfully promote the sustainable development and management of fisheries and aquaculture in the Southeast Asian region. Through its programs, SEAFDEC was also able to enhance the contribution of fisheries to food security for the peoples in Southeast Asia. SEAFDEC therefore, is able to live up to its role as the technical arm

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

of the ASEAN for fisheries development. It should be considered that in the past ten years, the region’s production from fisheries had increased at the rate of more than 5% per year, especially aquaculture which attained the highest growth rate of about 7% per year. In terms of value, inland capture fisheries attained an annual growth rate of about 15%, aquaculture at 11%, and marine capture at 9% demonstrating significant improvements not only in quantity but also in the quality of fish and fisheries products which had been attained by the countries through the technological development and improvement advocated by SEAFDEC in the Southeast Asian countries through massive information dissemination and capacity building.

Attachment 6 of the Appendix 3 shows the list of publications from the Achievements of MFRDMD’s programs since 2003 to 2012.

A comprehensive sampling on landings and biology of small pelagic in the region was conducted for 37 months from December 2002 to December 2005. Biological information on growth and spawning seasons was obtained however failed to indicate stock structure from the morphometric measurement. Therefore tagging experiment on small pelagic was recommended to fill the information gap based on previous study.

Only a large-scale tagging experiment conducted over a large area would permit a better understanding of the structure of the population and to quantify movements between areas. The number of recovered tagged fish with complete information on recovery positions was only 47% of the total number recovered. This is considered too low to provide a clear indication of the migratory pattern. These results failed to indicate sharing of the stocks among Member Countries. Other possible methods such as the use of genetics at the molecular level could possibly be a better way to confirm the population structure and identify of the stocks that may be shared by the countries in this region.

The project on information collection and compilation of inland fisheries was capable to collect and compiled lot of information from capture inland fisheries in the Southeast Asian region. Information on fisheries, fishing gear and methods, fish species, environmental conditions and socio-economic activities gathered are then compiled and documented. Capability of Member Countries on sampling, taxonomic identification and preservation of freshwater fishes were strengthened.

The information regarding export of fishery products from all Member Countries give insight on the volume exported and the importance of value-adding fishery products to enhance marketability and monetary value of exported fishery products. The information gathering on issues, process and procedures of exporting fish and fishery products lead to formulation of the draft regional guideline to prevent landing and trading of IUU fish and fishery products. The information was vital for differentiating IUU or Non-IUU fish and fishery products. The project activities increase awareness of IUU fishing and strengthened cooperation of SEAFDEC Member Countries on combating IUU fishing.

VI. CONCLUSION:

The SEAFDEC Secretariat has since 1997 set up at its permanent office within the Department of Fisheries compound in Kasetsart University Campus; and receives support through the annual contribution from the Government of Thailand to the Training Department. The Secretariat local staffs, office buildings and other infrastructures are also supported by the Government of Thailand. In addition, there are also other staff supported by other funds, e.g. JTF, Sida, etc. From 2007, SEAFDEC also receives Minimum Regular Contribution of 400,000 US$ annually, of which 250,000 US$ are for the operation of the Secretariat, and approximately 55,000 USS annually is used for the implementation of information-related programs, while the remaining fund is for non-program activities.

The main function of the Secretariat is to provide administrative services to facilitate the overall activities, and also serves as the focal point for channeling and implementing the decisions and resolutions of the SEAFDEC Council. The Secretariat is responsible for the conduct annual meetings, and production of regular publications, e.g. report of the SEAFDEC annual meetings, annual report, periodical newsletter, and statistics bulletin. However, with the revision of SEAFDEC Strategic plan in 1998, the SEAFDEC Council at its 32nd Meeting in 2000 supported that the functions of the Secretariat be strengthened on: 1) Working on regional fisheries policy option (in consultation with Member Countries and SEAFDEC Departments); 2) Coordination and implementation of multi-disciplinary regional programs (in coordination with SEAFDEC Departments); 3) Coordination on single- disciplinary regional program which are implemented by concerned Department; 4) Formulation of integration of information on the activities conducted by SEAFDEC and its Departments; 5) Formulation and implementation of programs where non of the Departments has a major competence (e.g. fish trade).

From 2003 to 2012, the total budget used for implementation of programs/projects (excluding non- project expenditures and staff salaries) were approximately 7.67 million US$ (over 10 years), of which the major sources are the Japanese Government (43%, which 37% are from Japanese Trust Fund, and 6% from Japanese Unspent Fund for Special 5-year program, regular fund from Japan), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (38%), and the ASEAN Foundation (15%). The Secretariat also used the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) for the implementation of program on Center-wide Information Network, starting from 2007 to 2012. However, in 2013, activities under the information program were incorporated as regular activities.

Budget for programs/projects implementation Programs/projects expenditures of of SEAFDEC Secretariat by funding sources, SEAFDEC Secretariat by categories, 2003-2012 2003-2012

In terms of budget utilization, 25% of the budget was used for activities that aimed to enhance human capacity development of the Member Countries, including the conduct of training, workshops and support for the Regional Fisheries Policy Working Group (WGRFP) which was later on changed to Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN); 36% for policy development-related activities, including the development of regional guidelines and policy frameworks, as well as the conduct of consultations and workshops to discuss fisheries policy-related issues and develop common/coordinated positions among countries in the region; while 7% were for information-related activities. Budget utilized for “Others”, which include project administration, project planning and monitoring, participation to relevant non- SEAFDEC events, and staff capacity development, also constituted high proportion of 28%; while very minor portion of the budget were used for the conduct of research and technical development and improvement activities, which clearly reflect the main roles and functions of the Secretariat.

Some of the significant activities and achievements of the Secretariat include: - Coordinate with all Departments in the development of the Regional Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (RCCRF), and supporting the implementation of the CCRF by the Member Countries - Development of the Regional Guidelines on One Village, One Fisheries Products (FOVOP) - Establishment and hosting the WGRFP and RFPN, which enhance the coordination and collaboration among Member Countries - Conduct of the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020 “Fish for the People: Adaptation to a Changing Environment”, and supporting the development of the Resolution and Plan of Action adopted at the Conference. - Coordinating activities that address international fisheries-related issues, and issues on commercially exploited aquatic species under international concerns, including development of common/coordinated position for the region on relevant issues - Continue compilation of regional fishery statistics and production of Annual Statistics Bulletin, harmonization of statistics with international standards, definitions and classifications, and enhance utilization of data and information with the production of publication on State of Fisheries and Aquaculture in Southeast Asia (SEASOFIA) starting from 2012 - Coordinate with SEAFDEC Department in the implementation of cross-cutting activities, e.g. HRD in fisheries, fisheries for poverty alleviation, particularly to enhance human capacity in fisheries for Member Countries. - Supporting regional fisheries management concept and approaches, e.g. eco-system approach to fisheries, transboundary/sub-regional management, etc.

Achievements:

Year Achievements Beneficiaries Marine and Freshwater Fishes 2003- AQD’s solid achievements in maturation and breeding in finfish began ASEAN and 2012 with milkfish, but soon included other species including seabass, SEAFDEC MCs groupers, rabbitfish, snapper, and seahorses.

Larval production of milkfish and high value fishes, including seabass, snapper, pompano, rabbitfish and groupers has been improved largely by using SEAFDEC formulated broodstock and larval feeds. In milkfish, the use of fortified larval diet, as well as emulsion to ASEAN and enrich the rotifer, reduced the incidence of abnormal larvae. SEAFDEC MCs

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

Year Achievements Beneficiaries

Tryptophan supplementation in diets reduced cannibalism and improved survival and growth in juvenile marine fish in nursery cages in ponds. These findings are expected to reduce the use of brine shrimps and consequently the costs during nursery rearing of carnivorous species.

For seed quality assessment, research results also showed the possibility of adopting simple PCR-based assays for egg quality assessment in milkfish, grouper, seabass and rabbitfish. For freshwater fishes (tilapia, bighead carps and catfish), breeding and seed production techniques, feed formulation, farm-based genetic selection schemes and methods for the application of DNA markers in stock management have been developed by AQD. Mollusks (Abalone) 2003- Hatchery techniques for the mass production of abalone juveniles were ASEAN and 2005 developed; Commercial production of abalone based on AQD hatchery SEAFDEC MCs; technology began. During this period, AQD also began offering Philippines abalone hatchery training course to create awareness on the availability of the technology and to encourage the private sector to invest and spearhead the development of the abalone industry. 2006 A private abalone hatchery was established in Iloilo to pilot test the Philippines technology developed by AQD 2007 The Philippine National Abalone Breeding Culture Program was Philippines established; a memorandum of understanding was signed with BFAR- DA to introduce mature tropical abalone hatchery and culture technologies to suitable sites in the Philippines 2009 AQD established a model backyard /abalone hatchery using low-cost SEAFDEC MCs; materials (tanks made of canvas material and supported by bamboos). Philippines 2010- Protocols/techniques for transporting abalone were developed and used 2012 as guide for handling and shipping live juvenile abalone SEAFDEC MCs; Criteria have been defined for assessing good seed quality based on Philippines performance traits noted in the late hatchery to early nursery phase and from the early nursery to the grow-out phases. Moreover, the specific husbandry requirements to optimize larval rearing conditions and improve seedstock production have also been determined. Mudcrabs 2003- (i) Life cycle of mud crab specieswas completed; (ii) S. serrata was MCs (particularly 2012 domesticated;(iii) Hatchery technology was developed and pilot testing Myanmar, of hatchery operation outside AQDwas undertaken; (iv) Cannibalism Philippines) during the nursery phase wasreduced by trimming the crabs during intermolt and postmolt stages, manipulating the stocking density, and using various shelters; (v) Diseases in the hatchery and nursery culturewereidentified; and (vi) Capacity of Member Countries (local and international) on hatchery and nursery operation was enhanced. Marine shrimps and freshwater prawn 2003- The development of shrimp hatchery is largely due to AQD’s All MCs of 2012 pioneering work on the biology, broodstock management and SEAFDEC maturation through eyestalk ablation. AQD’s studies on marine shrimps have resulted in better health management strategies and environment-friendly shrimp farming technologies, which are now benefiting the region’s shrimp industry.

The genetic improvement project of freshwater prawn, M. rosenbergii, conducted with funds from the Government of Japan Trust Fund,and involved the partners from Thailand and Indonesia, resulted in

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Year Achievements Beneficiaries improved survival in the hatchery (from less than 10% to 70% or an average of 50%).The other important accomplishments include the genetic characterization of Philippine prawn populations and development of techniques for improved broodstock management and seed production. Other species: sea cucumber, seahorses 2003- Salinity tolerance of hatchery-bred juvenile seahorses Hippocampus MCs interested in 2012 kuda was determined, suggesting the possibility of growing hatchery- seahorse bred H. kuda in brackishwater environments.

Seed production of the seahorse Hippocampus comes was markedly improved by using UV-treated water and treating food organisms in formalin. 2007- In 2007; AQD began work on sea cucumber Holuthuria scabra and the MCs interested in 2012 larval rearing phase produced about 15,000 early juveniles; RIA3 in sea cucumber Vietnam and AQD co-published a sandfish seed production manual AQD refined the technologies on seed production and hatchery operation of sea cucumber to produce juveniles for release into marine protected areas.

Techniques of the pen nursery of hatchery-produced juveniles have been optimized. Seaweeds 2003- Successful growing of seaweed, Kappaphycus striatum (obtained from MCs interested in 2012 the wild) sporelings from carposporophytes in the laboratory until they seaweeds reach market size was attained through the development of multi-step culture method. This includes identifying the stage of sporelings and environmental factors such as photoperiod and temperature.

AQD usedan extract that can potentially reduce ‘ice-ice disease incidence (such extract can induce resistance in seaweeds against the ephiphyte Neosiphonia).

Further improved the production of Kappaphycus plantlets in tissue culture through the use of optimum concentrations of Acadian Marine Plant Extract Powder (AMPEP), plant growth regulators (PGR) in the culture media, pH-temperature combinations, and suitable explant density.

Developed a new strain of Kappaphycus that can survive and adapt to higher temperatures of 25 and 35oC.With global warming imminent this strain can potentially give the seaweed industry a new tool to sustain and improve production. All commodities 2003- A total of 60 international training programs have been conducted and ASEAN and 2012 over 600 participants from the Member Countries have completed the SEAFDEC MCs training programs on various aspects of hatchery/seed production. These focused on freshwater fish, milkfish and other marine fishes, crab, abalone, seahorse and sandfish.

In the Philippines, country-wide training programs were conducted and technologies developed at AQD are being applied now in the implementation of the country’s national program for seed production of high value marine fishes.

Achievements:

SDIII-1: Maximizing the Utilization of Fish Catch With a dwindling wild catch and to ensure sustainable development for food security for the Southeast Asian peoples who are traditionally fish consumers, it is of utmost importance that fish catch is responsibly utilized and post-harvest losses are minimized while ensuring the safety and quality of the products. Towards this goal, MFRD conducted activities that included the utilization of under-utilized fish species, marine and freshwater, for the development of surimi and value-added fish products. This project introduced new fish products to the region from under-utilized marine small pelagic fishes such as round scad and Indian mackerel and freshwater fish species such as snakehead and featherback fish. This had enabled the conversion of these under-utilized marine and freshwater fish species for human consumption.

MFRD published two manuals on the processing of value-added products from under-utilized marine and freshwater fish species.

SDIII-2: Fish Quality and Safety Management Systems The harmonization of analytical methods through a network of lead laboratories in the various ASEAN Member Countries and the implementation of good laboratory practices (GLP) will enhance ASEAN as a coordinated fish-exporting bloc to importing countries such as Canada, USA, Japan and EU. This will help facilitate trade in fish and fish products within and without the ASEAN region. MFRD implemented the program to assist the lead fish inspection and technology laboratories in the region to implement good laboratory practices, validate their methods and harmonize methods in the region through inter- laboratory testing programs. Under this program, MFRD has conducted a total of four workshops on

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, participated in the project. Training on the analysis of antibiotics especially in the detection of heavy metals, pesticide residues, and prohibited drugs such as cadmium, lead, mercury, chloramphenicol and nitrofuran used in aquaculture farms was conducted at SEAFDEC/MFRD in 2005. While participating Member Countries were requested to commence the survey in their own with the option to decide on the types of fish and fish products to be surveyed considering the financial resources of the countries. Examples of training courses and surveys were as follows:

 The Vietnam National Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Quality Assurance Department (NAFIQAD) and MFRD co-organized the training for 3 methods, namely: Chloramphenicol, Nitrofuran and Malachite Green using Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) method. Regional surveys of chloramphenicol, nitrofuran, malachite green and leuco-malachite green in fish and fish products were then conducted by the participating regional laboratories in Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Nevertheless, in view of the different analytical methods used in the survey, the participating countries took part in the inter-laboratory proficiency testing under FAPAS Round 02109 for chloramphenicol in shrimp sample. The results of the activities were deposited in the database of the Fish and Fish Products Safety Information Network.  The survey of Histamine Levels in Fish and Fish Products in Southeast Asia was conducted especially for the naturally occurring toxin, histamine, in fish and fish products. During the Mid-term Review Meeting in 2007, although the analysis of fermented fish and fish products such as shrimp paste and fish sauce was included in the survey, the countries were given the option to decide on the type of fermented fish and fish products to be surveyed considering the financial resources of the countries. Moreover, with the assistance of the Department of Fisheries (DOF) of Thailand, on-site training courses for histamine analysis using fluorometric and High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) method were conducted in order to upgrade the technical capability in histamine testing in the region.

The project benefitted participating countries by providing baseline information of the level of contamination for heavy metals, pesticide residues, and histamine and drug residues. This nformation may be useful for the planning of monitoring programs within the country. These results had also given assurance and confidence in the safety of the fish and fish products in the participating countries.

Achievements: MFRD was appointed the regional focal point for the project and worked in collaboration with Australian Marine Science and Technology Ltd (AMSAT) and the Australian Maritime College (AMC). The project promoted the adoption of HACCP techniques in small to medium sized fish processing operations throughout ASEAN and was designed to build competencies for HACCP and food safety in these operations. The overall goal of the project was to support the establishment of a regional ASEAN environment for the development of a competitive private and SME (small to medium sized enterprise) sector with particular focus on the quality and safety of food and agriculture products. The status of national fish and fish products safety programs in ASEAN, as well participants’ knowledge and skills relevant to the establishment and / or enhancement of national food safety strategies and programs with particular reference to fish and fish products were reviewed. After that studies on hazards verification in selected fish and fish products were conducted in the respective countries. In Singapore, MFRD implemented the verification study for hazards in fish ball/fish cake which is a popular and widely consumed traditional product. In the verification study, product sampling was conducted on a quarterly basis and cover all parts of the island. Products were sampled from wet markets, eating establishments, processing plants and supermarkets. The samples collected were analysed for microbial and pathogens content i.e. TPC, S. aureus, V. parahaemolyticus, V. cholerae, Salmonella and Shigella spp., E. coli, Listeria monocytogenes and for the presence of prohibited additives such as boric acid and benzoic acid. The reports of the six hazard verification case studies were reviewed and finalized and the first draft of the Hazards Guide for ASEAN Fish and Fish Products was presented, reviewed and finalized for publication at the end of 2006.

Achievements: While recognizing that many small and medium size fish and processing establishments (SMEs) in the ASEAN countries have difficulty in implementing quality management systems (such as HACCP) due to economic and technical constraints, MFRD implemented a program to address this concern beginning with the basic GMP and SSOP. These SMEs comprise largely of the Pre-Processing Establishments (PPEs), which produce semi-processed raw materials for main processing establishments, and the Traditional Fish Products Processing Establishments (TPEs). Moreover, the development of the GMP/SSOP programmes for the PPEs and TPEs serves to assist ASEAN countries to achieve Measure No. 46 of the ASEAN Roadmap for the Integration of the Fisheries Sector under the ASEAN Framework Agreement for the Integration of Priority Sectors. Specifically, Measure No 46 prescribed the need to develop and apply fisheries quality management system that could ensure food safety and support the competitive position of ASEAN fisheries products in the world markets though implementation, validation, verification of Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP)-based systems and improved laboratories practices, and adapting quality and safety management systems for possible application by the small enterprises in ASEAN. The program outputs include the two handbooks on GMP for PPE and TPE while the outcomes include the development of GMP for selected products in PPE and TPE an increased awareness in SMEs in ASEAN Member Countries of the importance of GMP as a pre-requisite to HACCP application and initiation of national programs to promote implementation of GMP in SMEs in ASEAN Member Countries.

9. Project Title: Preventing Export of IUU Products

For this activity, MFRDMD developed a questionnaires pertaining export of fisheries product from ASEAN Member Countries and the current export procedures and catch documentation. The questionnaires were sent to every ASEAN member country to be filled up by officials from competent authority/ies.

The first Regional Core Experts Meeting on Fishing License, Boats Registration and Information Gathering on Export of Fisheries Products in Southeast Asia from 4 to 7 October 2011 in Bangkok, information and experiences on export of fish and fishery products from the SEAFDEC Member Countries were discussed. The meeting highlighted the substantial volume of fish and fishery products exported from SEAFDEC Member Countries. In general the meeting agreed that the countries should promote export of value-added fishery products in future.

In 2012, the project focuses on issues related to exports of fish and fishery products, and the related process and procedures. Subsequently, SEAFDEC/MFRDMD developed a set of questionnaires to gather that information from Member Countries. Information collecting visits were successfully conducted in Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar and Indonesia. Whilst information for Brunei Darussalam, Singapore, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Thailand and Japan were obtained through feedbacks from the questionnaires sent to them.

Information related to exports of fish and fishery products, and the related process and procedures was consolidated and discussed during the Core Expert Meeting at Concorde Inn KLIA, Malaysia from 20 to 22 November 2012 to Develop Regional Guidelines to Prevent IUU Fishing and Its Products from Being Exported. The said Workshop came up with the draft outline of the Regional Guidelines to Prevent Trading, Import and Export of IUU Fishing Products, as well as identified the required follow-up activities to be undertaken by MFRDMD and the Member Countries in order to develop the regional guidelines.

Achievements:

Year Achievements Beneficiaries 2001-2002 The regular surveys provided the most basic figures and data on many Thailand aspects, including oceanographic data, fishing grounds, techniques and socio economic fields. In particular, these data and information constitute basic indicators to mark the milestones in the progress of the project activities.

Comprehensive surveys including the socio-economic, oceanographic and fishing ground aspects gave the true picture of the fishing business in the project operational areas. The results of the comprehensive survey gave profound suggestions in management activities, especially the demarcation of aquaculture areas.

Most of the research work was published. The results were basically interpreted in simple language and restored to beneficiaries on various occasions. 2003 Activity 1: Base line survey Thailand The regular surveys provided the most basic figures and data on many aspects, including oceanographic data, fishing grounds, techniques and socio economic fields. In particular, these data and information constitute basic indicators to mark the milestones in the progress of the project activities.

Most of the research work was published as seen in Annex 2 and utilized widely by the Provincial Fisheries Office for their extension services. The results were basically interpreted in simple language and restored to beneficiaries on various occasions.

Activity 2: Encourage and extend locally based coastal fisheries management Through restoration of the survey data and information to the beneficiaries and joining the training courses on aquaculture technology and fishing ground management, fish farmers, fishermen and stakeholders came to realize that they should set up certain rules that ensure their sustainable income sources in future.

As a result, some self regulatory measures; the crab bank, the aquaculture zoning arrangement and the mesh size control on crab trap fishing, were developed under their own motivation. Further, to more effectively and strictly control such rules, they realized that there should be a strong core organization, and such a movement led to the formation of the Phakklong Fishermen Group and upholding sub-groups divided by each fishing type.

Activity 3: Encourage local business At the beginning, the women’s group began processing anchovy and squid products in the village No.1 with limited numbers of participants. Supported by the project, they gradually expanded the variety of products and explored marketing channels in local and urban areas. This

Year Achievements Beneficiaries group applied to the “One Tambol, One Product” scheme to get financial assistance from the government. In December 2004, they were endowed with the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) from the Ministry of Health, which would encourage further expansion of marketing channels. Further, in the village 4 and 6 similar activities commenced by the women groups in dry flower making, batik printing and snack types of cake making that brought the members some amount of supplemental incomes.

Since fish based products processing began to develop, the people recognized that it was a lucrative business. However, most housewives were so busy in their own obligations in their houses that limited numbers of them could participate in these activities. But such a voluntary participation to the community work encourages the building- up of groups or the joint working concept among community members. This is greatly attributed to the community based resources management effort.

Activity 4: Enhance human resources capability and participation All through the project activities, it was emphasized that the enhancement of people’s awareness about the sustainable use of coastal resources and devotion to achieve consensus on self-regulatory rules in the coastal fishing grounds were achieved. It took much time and needed tenacious effort not only for the beneficiaries but also for the project staff. The people have a gradually, but steadily increasing awareness on the importance of the sustainable use of coastal resources through joining training and education courses and various group meetings.

The young stars who assume the sustainable fisheries development in the next generation have gained the idea of CBRM with the conservation of environment through the physical activities and educational program. The awareness building on sustainable resources use within the local institutions like the AoBoTo and the village councils has been greatly changed as they involved in the related activities and it has reflected positively to the allocation of the necessary budget to the community.

The project occasionally arranged training courses, internal workshops and meetings at which the project staff including from TD and DOF to absorb knowledge, technology and information. Many staff has practiced at the project site, and has opportunities to exchange the lessons learned with others. Now, they are expected to become competent organizers at any project site by the end of the project tenure (December 2006).

The project arranged a number of study tours for direct beneficiaries; i.e. fishermen and women’s group members. “Seeing is believing.” It was found that this was the best tool in educating such classes of people and producing tangible impacts. This will be retained as a great asset in the community.

Activity 5: Develop extension methodologies and strengthening the extension system Great numbers of publications were made as listed in Annex 2 which can be a useful tool to disseminate the CBRM concept to other parts of the areas where similar attempts are envisaged. Numbers of PR materials were prepared to support other major activities and widely publicize the project impacts and effects.

Activity 6: Rehabilitate and enhance coastal resources The DOF released great numbers of fingerings as listed in Table 1. Although the definite causal relationship between the activity of fish fingerling release and increased fish production has not been scientifically proved, there is a certain sign of CPUE improvement in both crab and shrimp fishing. But, as to sea bass, the effect is unknown as this is not a single targeted species and is difficult to measure.

The 1,750ARs were installed in line with the distance of 3 km from the shore. As the fishermen appreciate, these structures are of more help in prohibiting trawlers from invading rather than providing aquatic animals and fish with shelter and habitat. The effect was not in line with that originally aimed at but still contributes to the improvement of coastal environmental habitat to some extent.

Achievements:

The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) was adopted by FAO since 1995 to serve as voluntary codes that support the implementation of activities towards responsible and sustainable development of fisheries. The project on Regionalization of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries was implemented by SEAFDEC since 1999 to enhance the understanding of countries in the region on the CCRF, and address the regional specificity in the implementation of the CCRF. Under Component I of this project, a number of regional meetings/consultations were conducted to develop set of Regional Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries (four phases namely: 1) Responsible Fishing Operations; 2) Responsible Aquaculture Development; 3) Responsible Fisheries Management; and 4) Responsible Post-harvest Practices and Trade). The set of Regional Guidelines was endorsed by the 27th Meeting of the ASEAN Ministers of Agriculture and Forestry (AMAF) in 2005, resulting in subsequent policy changed and renewed fisheries programs as well as modification of relevant legal fisheries provisions in the ASEAN countries. SEAFDEC also produced Supplementary Guidelines on Co- Management Using Group User Rights, Fisheries Statistics, Indicators and Fisheries Refugia (based on the results from other technical projects of SEAFDEC). In 2007, SEAFDEC was awarded the Margarita Lizáragga Medal Award from FAO for the efforts undertaken to support countries in the implementation of the CCRF.

Achievements:

This project is the continuation of Component II of the project on Regionalization of the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, which focused on enhancing the capacity of countries in the Southeast Asian region in the implementation of the issues related to CCRF/RCCRF. Initiatives were continued on promoting various approaches towards improved management of fisheries, e.g. enhancing better understanding of the current level of fishing capacity through vessel registration; use of sub- regional approach to address management issues and requirements; addressing the importance of habitats including fisheries refugia for sustainability of fisheries; and enhancing knowledge and awareness on eco-labeling as market measure to promote responsible fishing practices.

Through this project, sub-regional dialogues were initiated among countries in the Gulf of Thailand, namely Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam; and issues for future sub-regional cooperation (e.g. MCS network, vessel records and inventory, establishment of fisheries refugia for conservation of important transboundary species such as Indo-Pacific Mackerels) were discussed and agreed upon. The project also supported the establishment of forum for fisheries management in the region, which led to the subsequent establishment of the ASEAN Fisheries Consultative Group (AFCF) under the ASEAN Mechanism.

Beneficiaries: All ASEAN-SEAFDEC Member Countries.

Achievements:

The primary aims of this project were to improve management of fisheries, fishing capacity, and coastal environments, as a protection against future hazards, while at the same time provide an important element to the sustainability of the fisheries by security important habitats. Activities were conducted to facilitate discussion dialogue and cooperation among different agencies at local, national and regional levels as well as various stakeholders, particularly in the Andaman Sea sub-region, which involves Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. Through the project, awareness were raised, and recommendations were made on key areas for improved and effective fisheries management including the management of fishing capacity; improved port monitoring, Monitoring Control and Surveillance (MCS) system; and fishing licensing and registration systems as tools to strengthen efforts to integrate fisheries and habitat management by reducing overcapacity and destructive fishing.

On the integration of fisheries and habitat management, the project has built upon the aggregation of smaller management areas (established for local fisheries, fisheries resources protection, habitat management and/or other purposes) in order to serve as larger conservation areas for the trans-boundary fish species such as Rastrelliger spp. The Andaman Sub-region was segregated to two sub-sub areas, namely northern and southern Andaman Sea, and discussion was made on possibility to improve fishing regulations and management in each sub-sub area. However, scientific data is required to support such establishment of appropriate management measures. On management of fishing capacity and combating IUU fishing, the project continued to facilitate agreement between neighboring countries in the establishment of MCS network to assist countries (governments, private sector/industry and fishermen) around the Andaman Sea, or in specified sub-areas, to cooperate in monitoring and control of fishing and habitat conservation. The necessity for effective implementation of Port State Measures were also identified as appropriate measures to validate the legal status of catches being landed and support the increasing requirements of documentation for catch traceability, quality control and other documentations that are required for combating IUU fishing. Climate change subject has also been integrated in events to build an awareness at provincial, national and sub-regional and regional levels that better organization at village level and provinces, improved habitat management and restored habitats, reduction of (destructive) fishing, improved registration of vessels, licensing to fish, reduction of (destructive) fishing, developing MCS networks, safety at sea, etc. could help building up adaptive capacity and mitigate possible impacts of climate change.

In addition, cooperation was established between SEAFDEC and other organizations, e.g. ASEAN, FAO/APFIC, BOBLME Project, RPOA-IUU, IUCN, Wetland alliance, and Coral Triangle Initiatives (CTI), in the undertaking of activities of common interest to share the resources and avoid the duplication of efforts. The project also supported the Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN) from five (5) countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines and Thailand)

Beneficiaries: Countries bordering the Andaman Sea, namely Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand; and the Gulf of Thailand, namely Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Remarks: This project has paved the way for future cooperation between SEAFDEC and Sida from 2013-2017 under the new project title “Fisheries and Habitat Management, Climate Change and Social Well-being in Southeast Asia”, which would focus on four sub-areas namely: the Gulf of Thailand, the Andaman Sea, the Sulu-Sulawesi Sea, and the Lower Mekong Basin.

Achievements:

With increasing number of commercially-exploited aquatic species being proposed for listing under the CITES Appendices since the CITES-CoP12, while data and information on the status of such species were very limited in the Southeast Asian region; this project supported the Member Countries in undertaking studies in order to collect information on species that were proposed (or anticipated to be proposed) for listing under the CITES Appendices. During 2003-2004, the project supported Member Countries to undertake the one-year Study on Shark Production, Utilization and Management in the ASEAN Region; while during 2007-2008, the study was undertaken on Sea Cucumber Fisheries, Utilization and Trade in Southeast Asia. The results from these studies were used as a basis to support the development of common/coordinated position of the region on commercially-exploited aquatic species proposed to be listed in the CITES Appendices. The project also supported the participation of representatives from agencies responsible for fisheries to attend and reflect the common/coordinated positions during the CITES-CoP13 (in 2004) and CoP14 (in 2007).

Beneficiaries: All ASEAN-SEAFDEC Member Countries.

Remarks:

From 2010 onwards, the activities that address CITES-related issues were undertaken under the program on “Assistance of Capacity Building in the Region to Address International Trade Related Issues”.

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

Achievements:

As fisheries in the Southeast Asian region comprises large number of small-scale fishers operating both in inshore and coastal waters, with “open access” nature, this project therefore aimed to achieve sustainable fisheries through the decentralization of management authorities to local communities in order to enhance local participation and gradually replace “open access” nature of fisheries with “limited access”. Through the seminar and consultations and by mobilizing experiences available in the region including Japan, the concepts of rights-based and co-management in fisheries focusing on small-scale fisheries were clarified and introduced to countries in the Southeast Asian region. This led to the development of the Regional Guidelines for Co-management Using Group User Rights for Small-scale Fisheries, which has served as inputs for the production of Supplementary Guidelines for Fisheries Management under the project on RCCRF. In addition, based on the concepts on co-management and rights based fisheries introduced through this project, several countries in the region (e.g. Cambodia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, etc.) started to apply co-management and rights-based fisheries (where applicable) in their respective countries.

Achievements:

Various activities were conducted involving the government and the private sector as well as other relevant stakeholders and the relevant institutional arrangements for women in the communities. The major output of the project are the Regional Guidelines for the Promotion of “One Village, One Fisheries Product (FOVOP)” in the ASEAN Region developed through a series of project activities at the regional and national levels. The Regional Guidelines is expected to serve as basis and enabling mechanism for the countries in the region to have clear direction and understanding for the promotion and implementation of the FOVOP approach. The Regional Guidelines was and endorsed by the 32nd AMAF for future promotion and implementation in the ASEAN Region. Thus, the ASEAN Countries should investigate the applicability of the Regional Guidelines and be responsible for the implementation of the Guidelines.

The project also came up with the “Strategy for the Future Promotion of FOVOP in the ASEAN Region”, aiming to provide a common framework for the countries in the region in the planning and implementation of the FOVOP approach, and subsequently in promoting cooperation between SEAFDEC, the ASEAN Countries and other Regional/International Organizations. The Strategy is also meant to enhance the implementation of the follow-up actions under the FOVOP movement. This project also provided technical inputs to the ASEAN-SEAFDEC “Fish for the People 2020” Conference on issue related to the promotion of FOVOP.

Achievements:

This project aimed at enhancing capacity of fishers in selected rural fishery communities, as well as fisheries government officers and officers working at local level in support of fisheries community, in order to alleviate poverty through fisheries intervention. Subjects covered by this project were categorized into thematic areas on: co-management; responsible fishing practices; backyard fishery post- harvest and processing; rural aquaculture; and inland fisheries development. Training for the trainers (for fisheries officers, extension workers and officers working at local level) were conducted on each thematic area, and trainees that attended in the training subsequently conducted on-site HRD activities in their respective localities. Through this project, the capacity of officers that participated in the training of the trainers was enhanced, and training materials for different thematic areas were developed in close supervision of SEAFDEC Departments and translate into local languages. The capacity of local fishers attend in the onsite activities, which were conducted under the responsibility of the participating countries with assistance from SEAFDEC, was also enhanced and envisaged to improve the livelihood and reduce poverty of people in the community.

The experience in the implementation of this project led to the development of “Regional Policy Recommendations on Poverty Alleviation by Fisheries Intervention” which was endorsed by the SEAFDEC Council in 2011. This project also provided technical inputs to the ASEAN-SEAFDEC “Fish for the People 2020” Conference.

Achievements:

Although SEAFDEC has regularly been compiling fishery statistics from countries and published them in the form of regional statistics bulletin, there were some difficulties due to the limited capacity of the less developed countries in collection of fishery statistics. The Component I of this project aimed to enhance the capacity of the CLMV countries in the collection of fishery statistics. Issues/problems areas as well as directions/approaches for improvement of fishery statistics system were identified during the National Workshop conducted for each CLMV country. On-site trainings were subsequently conducted in the respective countries to train fishery administrators, managers and statisticians in the collection, analysis and reporting of quality fishery statistics, as well as the conduct of field survey and practices in line with national requirements e.g. fish landing sites survey, fishing community survey, etc. The Regional Handbook on Collecting Fishery Statistics for Inland and Coastal Fisheries was developed, and had been used during the on-site trainings. The publication was further finalized and published to serve as reference for future activities to promote capacity building for the improvement of the fishery statistical system in CLMV as well as other ASEAN-SEAFDEC Member Countries.

Achievements:

The Component II of this project aimed to support and facilitate the Member Countries in improving their national fishery statistical system through the improvement of the compilation and production of the Fishery Statistical Bulletin for the South China Sea Area (published by SEAFDEC since 1978). The Bulletin was modified to “Fishery Statistical Bulletin of Southeast Asia” with new coverage of all Southeast Asian countries, and the New Fishery Statistics Framework. The production of the new Fish Trade Statistics Bulletin, separately from the Fishery Statistical Bulletin was also discussed with the Member Countries. However, as Fish trade statistics are generally produced by non-fishery agencies and additional merit for such a bulletin is not significant, so the SEAFDEC Council recommended that this should be given low priority. In addition, a Regional Guidelines for Fishery Statistics were also developed, to be reference document for countries in developing/improving their fishery statistics. This document has served as inputs for the production of Supplementary Guidelines for Fisheries Management under the project on RCCRF.

The ASEAN Network on Fishery Statistics was established with national focal point identified by countries to facilitate the on-going and future work on fishery statistics and information to be implemented by SEAFDEC as well as other regional/international organizations in the ASEAN Region. After the end of this project, the Network was still maintained and mobilized to serve as contact point between SEAFDEC, FAO and countries on statistics related matters. This project also enhanced coordination and collaboration among the ASEAN-SEAFDEC programs related to fishery statistics and information, as well as with other organizations/agencies such as FAO, CWP, etc.

Achievements:

This project is considered as continuation phase of the project on “Improvement of Fishery Statistics Systems and Mechanisms”. In line with the new Fishery Statistics Framework, the standards/norms, classification and definition of fishery statistics of the region were harmonized with those adopted at the international level by the FAO Coordinating Party on Fishery Statistics (CWP), in order to enhance the compatibility of statistics, and facilitate the sharing, exchange and analysis of data with other countries,

regions and at the global level. The project also developed harmonized questionnaires and reporting mechanism to streamline reporting of fishery statistics from ASEAN Member Countries to SEAFDEC and FAO (with sets of certain data that could be used by both SEAFDEC and FAO), which reduced the burden of countries in the provision of sets of data to two organizations. Publish of the Fishery Statistics Bulletin of Southeast Asia started from statistics of 2008 based on the new Framework.

Another important area that this project addressed is the need to improve usage of statistics and information from various sources to enhance better understanding on status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture. At the national level, three pilot countries, namely Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia, undertook the preparation of their respective national status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture, on their subject of interest. The initiative was further applied at the regional level through the pilot case by SEAFDEC, making full use of fishery statistics, existing data and information generated from SEAFDEC programs/projects in the past as well as from other available sources, in the preparation of publication entitled “The Southeast Asian State of Fisheries and Aquaculture” or SEASOFIA in 2012. The usefulness of the “SEASOFIA” was recognized by the Member Countries, and the SEAFDEC Council requested SEAFDEC to continue the production of SEASOFIA in a regular basis. This project also provided technical inputs to the ASEAN-SEAFDEC “Fish for the People 2020” Conference.

*************************************

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THIRD SEAFDEC REVIEW

I. INTRODUCTION

1. The Third SEAFDEC Review Committee convened its Second Meeting on 6-8 March 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand to discuss the progress of activities in accordance with its Terms of Reference (TOR) which was approved at the 44th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in 2012. The Second Meeting also aimed to come up with recommendations on the future direction of SEAFDEC taking into consideration the unfolding fisheries issues in Southeast Asia. These recommendations will be submitted to the SEAFDEC Council for consideration at its 45th Meeting in April 2013.

2. The Committee also discussed the recommendations during its First Meeting which was conducted on 23-25 July 2012, as well as those that emanate from the results of the missions to the countries that host SEAFDEC Departments and other similar activities which were organized from July 2012 to March 2013.

3. While reviewing the status and trend of fisheries and aquaculture in the Southeast Asian region, the Committee also made focus on the organization, structure and working mechanism of SEAFDEC in order to assess the relevance of the Center to the sustainable development of fisheries in the ASEAN region. In addition, the Committee examined the financial situation of SEAFDEC taking into account the diminishing financial support from the Government of Japan and the possibility of some additional contributions from the Member Countries for the operations of SEAFDEC. The enhanced involvement of the Member Countries in SEAFDEC through their increased Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) was put forward as means of boosting the countries’ sense of ownership of the Center.

III. REQUIRED CONSIDERATION BY THE SEAFDEC COUNCIL

5. The Committee agreed that the recommendations of the Third SEAFDEC Review would be reported by the Chairperson of the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee to the 45th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council (1-5 April 2013 in Cebu City, Philippines) for consideration and further directives.

291

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

REPORT OF THE THIRD SEAFDEC REVIEW

I. BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION

1. Since the establishment of SEAFDEC in 1967, a number of review exercises had been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of SEAFDEC in terms of its mandate and activities in promoting fisheries development in Southeast Asia. In addition to the First SEAFDEC Review Committee in 1986 and the Second in 1991, the organization structure and plans of operation of SEAFDEC and its Departments had also been occasionally reviewed and adjusted in accordance with the changing situation of fisheries in the region and the related requirements.

2. During the past decade however, the fisheries situation had continuously undergone changes that led to challenges, which could tremendously impact the sustainable development of fisheries in the region. It was therefore decided that another review exercise is deemed timely to enhance the role of SEAFDEC in efficiently and effectively supporting the Member Countries with their continuing efforts towards achieving sustainable fisheries and attaining food security. The Third SEAFDEC Review was also intended to provide recommendations for SEAFDEC to pursue future direction taking into consideration the unfolding fisheries issues that confront the region. Thus, at the 43rd Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in 2011, the conduct of the Third SEAFDEC Review was proposed by the SEAFDEC Secretary-General at the Meeting’s closed session. While agreeing to have the Third Review on the roles and functions of SEAFDEC, the Council requested the Secretary-General to collaborate with the National Coordinators of the respective countries for the compilation of information on the countries’ views with respect to the activities of SEAFDEC. In addition, the Council requested SEAFDEC to incorporate other relevant documents and information about SEAFDEC in its compiled report.

3. In response to the above directives, the SEAFDEC Secretariat compiled the Member Countries’ views on the expected roles, functions and activities of SEAFDEC, the Report of which was submitted to the 44th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in 2012. While taking note of the said Report, the SEAFDEC Council approved the conduct of the Third SEAFDEC Review, and subsequently also approved the Terms of Reference (TOR) and Composition of the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee as shown in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2, respectively.

4. As specified in the TOR, the Third SEAFDEC Review aimed to:

1) Assess the continued relevance of SEAFDEC with respect to the changing situations of fisheries in the Southeast Asian region, considering the views of the Member Countries on the roles, functions and activities of SEAFDEC; 2) Examine and review the Plans of Operation and activities of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments, taking into consideration their respective short-, medium- and long-term operations; 3) Review the financial management of SEAFDEC, taking into account the diminishing funding from external sources and to avoid increase substantially the Minimum Regular Contribution of the Member Countries vis-à-vis the operations of SEAFDEC; and 4) Recommend ways and means to improve the working mechanism and management of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments to ensure continued cost effectiveness, including exploring possible alternate structures to the Departmental set up.

II. REVIEW PROCESS

5. While adhering to the approved Terms of Reference, the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee carried out the following activities to accomplish its tasks, taking into consideration the organization, structure and working mechanism of SEAFDEC in order to assess the relevance of SEAFDEC to the sustainable development of fisheries in the region. The Committee also examined the financial situation of SEAFDEC considering the decreasing financial support from the Government of Japan which necessitates increasing the contributions from the Member Countries for the operations of SEAFDEC. It was anticipated that the enhanced involvement of the Member Countries in SEAFDEC through their increased Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) would boost their sense of ownership of the Center.

Such compiled information had been incorporated into this Report of the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee which will be submitted to the SEAFDEC Council for consideration during its 45th Meeting in April 2013.

III. ANALYSIS

3.1 Fisheries Situation in the Southeast Asian Region

6. While reviewing the status and trend of fisheries in the region, the Committee observed that the total fishery production of the region had risen from approximately 17 million tons in 2000 to around 31 million tons in 2010. From such total, the production from marine capture fisheries in 2010 accounted for approximately 47 percent of the total fisheries production while inland capture fisheries contributed about eight (8) percent and aquaculture 45 percent.

7. The Committee however noted that production from marine capture fisheries had declined. From a percentage contribution of 70 percent to the total fisheries production in 2000 to only 47 percent in 2010, production from marine capture fisheries decreased at an average rate of two percent annually. This trend seemed to indicate that a number of marine fish stocks, both pelagic and demersal, had been declining and an appreciable increase in the production from these stocks would be unlikely to take place. The Committee also noted that in the Gulf of Thailand and adjacent waters, and in the Andaman Sea there might be more than 30 stocks of shared marine fishery resources currently exploited by more than one country. This requires more attention by the countries concerned in terms of responsible fishing of the shared stocks, to ensure rational exploitation and management of these resources. Also, with respect to marine capture fisheries, the Committee was of the opinion that continued open access to marine fishery resources in exclusive economic zones and adjacent areas is still permitted by several countries in the region. This perception and practice should be superseded by policies and mechanisms to effectively control the access and reduce fishing efforts to commensurate with the capacity of the resources to replenish on a sustainable manner. The Committee therefore agreed that community-based management and co-management arrangements, which had proved to be feasible in some countries in the region, should be seriously considered and implemented more widely in the region in the future. While noting that there are reportedly some demersal fishery resources beyond the 100-meter depth of the continental shelf, especially those off the Philippines and Indonesia, which might supplement future

295

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

fisheries production, the Committee felt that, at present, there is no sufficient information on the status of these deep-sea fish stocks to warrant possible additional catches.

8. Specifically for inland capture fisheries, the Committee further noted that while this sector accounted for only about eight percent of the total production in 2010, it played an important role in food security by providing protein sources to rural populations of the countries of Southeast Asia. However, the inadequacy of reliable information and statistics on the production and on the amounts consumed by local populations might have distorted the real picture of the status of inland capture fisheries and thus, should be urgently addressed. The Committee was of the view that because of the steady increase of population growth in the region and the brisk development process of industrialization, competition for land and water use is increasing, resulting in environmental degradation which eventually affects the natural habitat and well-being of aquatic fauna and flora in the inland waters. Other factors limiting inland capture fisheries production include long-term climate change and man-made changes such as construction of dams, barrages or aquaculture structures in natural waterways.

9. The Committee recognized that aquaculture in Southeast Asia had developed rapidly during the past three decades with its contribution rising from 22 percent of the total regional fish production in 2000 to 45 percent in 2010. Aquaculture production in 2009 came from mariculture (marine plants and mollusks, 52 percent), brackishwater culture (marine fish and crustaceans, 21 percent), and freshwater culture (mainly catfishes, cyprinids, tilapia and gouramis, 27 percent). While observing the steadily increasing contribution of aquaculture to the annual total fish production of the region during the past decade, the Committee took note of the various issues that could impact on the future production from aquaculture, including long-term climate change, environmental pollution, and policies and technologies being promoted to enhance aquaculture production. In addition, the Committee substantiated that the most important issue that requires particular attention is the utilization of trash fish and low-value fish either as direct feed or to produce fishmeal for aquaculture, which is expected to create pressures to the fishery resources as a whole, and also impact on the livelihood and food security of people who are dependent on the bounties of the natural resources.

10. On the development of fish utilization and processing technologies in the region, the Committee noted that a number of issues need to be urgently addressed, including improvement of onboard and on-shore processing technologies, reduction and use of wastes from fish processing, and the conversion of low-value fish for human consumption. The Committee was however, of the opinion that food safety and control systems employed by the processing industry for fish and fishery products destined for the export market, had been fairly well-established in compliance with the requirements of the importing countries. Nevertheless, the Committee also acknowledged the need to enhance food safety for local consumption.

11. While looking at the Southeast Asian population growth vis-à-vis fish supplies, the Committee perceived that the total population of the Southeast Asian countries estimated at approximately 590 million in 2009 is expected to increase to almost 800 million in 2050. If the average per capita food fish consumption is maintained at 27 kilograms/man/year (trend in 2009), the total amount of food fish required for regional consumption would be in the order of 22 million tons or at least six million tons more than in 2009. This figure might increase because as the economy improves, more people consume fish and fishery products resulting in higher demand and as a consequence, increasing the prices thereof. This would affect the fish consumption of the poorer sector of society which could not afford to pay the high prices of fish. Therefore, the Committee believed that the steadily increasing population growth of the region and long-term climate change would eventually affect the pattern of utilization of the natural resources and environmental quality, adversely affecting food security of the region.

12. On the issues related to international fish trade and considering that several members of SEAFDEC are exporters of fish and fishery products to global markets, the Committee was of the view that in recent years many importing countries have imposed more stringent requirements for exported products, which could be either a trade barrier or in conjunction with the implementation of catch certification adopted by the global community. These requirements include traceability of catch, fisheries subsidies or the welfare of small-scale fishers. The Committee also noted that treaties such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), are

296

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

designed to regulate international fish trade of rare or nearly extinct species of animals and plants, and thus, could have implications on the trade of fish and fishery products of exporting countries including those in Southeast Asia. The Committee believed that these issues would continue to challenge fisheries- related agencies and regional bodies such as SEAFDEC in the future.

13. Finally, the Committee recognized that fisheries in the ASEAN region, contributed not only to food security of the countries therein by providing staple protein supply to the ever-expanding populations, but also played a significant role in international agricultural commodity trade, contributing to the betterment of the region’s economy. The Committee also noted with satisfaction, the escalating export value of fish and fishery products from the region, from US$ 8.8 billion in 2000 to US$ 20.5 billion in 2010 or an increase of more than double in the last decade. The Committee therefore believed that the contribution of fisheries to the economies of the region could still be raised if fisheries will be accorded higher priority in the countries’ future economic and social development plans and programs.

14. Furthermore, the Committee emphasized that in the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), focus is made on the rational exploitation and conservation of living resources in territorial seas and adjacent waters as well as in semi-enclosed seas of the Member States and in the high seas. In addition, the Convention encouraged the Member States to cooperate and/or settle their disputes through appropriate regional organizations whenever possible. Nevertheless, since the ratification of UNCLOS in 1982, there had been a rapid development of fisheries, resulting in the spectacular increase of annual fish production.

15. Likewise, in the last three decades, aquaculture has significantly increased its annual contribution to global fish production. Unfortunately, such rapid developments have created a negative impact on the well-being of global living aquatic resources and the environment, which has now become quite apparent. Concerned with this undesirable impact, the global community has adopted a number of declarations, legal instruments and plans of action aimed at the conservation and sustainable use of living aquatic resources and environmental protection. These include the 1992 Declaration of Cancun on Responsible Fishing and its subsequent outcome, the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, the plan of action known as Agenda 21 adopted by the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the 1993 FAO Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas (Compliance Agreement), the Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Conference on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks (UN Fish Stocks Agreement), the 1995 Kyoto Declaration on the Sustainable Contribution of Fisheries to Food Security, and the Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region Towards 2020 adopted recently by the 2011 ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020.

16. While keeping track of the number of major organizations concerned with fisheries and related matters in Southeast Asia, both within and outside the United Nations system such as the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), WorldFish Center, Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC), Intergovernmental Organization for Marketing Information and Technical Advisory Services for Fishery Products in the Asia and Pacific Region (INFOFISH), and the Network for Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA), the Committee noted that apart from SEAFDEC, the main role of most of these organizations is advisory or serving as forum for exchanging of views and recommendations rather than as management body. Although these organizations have different objectives and geographical coverage, their main focus is on specific facets of the fisheries industry. Nevertheless, the Committee had the opinion that SEAFDEC is the only regional center which has fully equipped itself with physical facilities for research and development in the various aspects of fisheries.

3.2 SEAFDEC Organization and Structure

17. The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) is an autonomous intergovernmental body established in 1967. The mandate of SEAFDEC which was endorsed by the SEAFDEC Council during its 41st Meeting in 2009 is “to develop and manage the fisheries potential of

297

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

the region by rational utilization of the resources for providing food security and safety to the people and alleviating poverty through transfer of new technologies, research and information dissemination activities”. Currently, SEAFDEC comprises 11 Member Countries, namely: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The Center is operated through the Secretariat located in Thailand and has four Technical Departments, namely: the Training Department in Thailand, Marine Fisheries Research Department in Singapore, Aquaculture Department in the Philippines, and the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department in Malaysia.

18. SEAFDEC was established through an Agreement Establishing the Center, which was signed in Bangkok, Thailand on 28 December 1967. This was amended later on by the Protocols Amending the Agreement in January 1968 and in November 2004. SEAFDEC which comprises the Secretariat and the aforementioned four Technical Departments have specific functions described briefly below, providing the Committee with better understanding of the operations, functions and responsibilities of SEAFDEC. a) The Secretariat

19. Since the establishment of SEAFDEC, the Secretariat has been attached to the Training Department (TD) as a Liaison Office. In 1997, the Secretariat set up a permanent office in its new premises within the Department of Fisheries compound at Kasetsart University Campus. The SEAFDEC Secretariat is mandated to coordinate and oversee the general policy and planning of the Center, and acts as the focal point for channeling and implementing the decisions and resolutions of the SEAFDEC Council of Directors. In addition, the Secretariat also organizes regular SEAFDEC meetings and consultations to obtain directives and guidance from the Member Countries on the operation of the organization, as well as regional technical consultations to discuss urgent issues as recommended by the Member Countries. b) Training Department

20. The Training Department (TD) was established in Thailand in 1968, and is hosted by the Government of Thailand through its Department of Fisheries. TD has been focusing its efforts on the development of modern fishery techniques to assist the fisheries industry of the region in a more sustainable approach through the promotion of responsible fishing technologies and practices, exploration of fishery resources, and advancement of the coastal fisheries management approach. Under its Strategic Plan which was endorsed in 2006, the structure and activities of TD had been adjusted to give more emphasis on the promotion of coastal fisheries management to ensure responsible resource utilization and sustainable livelihoods in coastal communities, and the promotion of off-shore fisheries through the development of best fishing practices and energy optimization technology to ensure stable supply of food fish and reduce fishing pressure in coastal areas. c) Marine Fisheries Research Department

21. The Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD) was set up in Singapore in 1969. Hosted by the Government of Singapore through the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), and was initially tasked to conduct marine fisheries research in the fishing grounds of the EEZs of the Member Countries. Since developing fisheries post-harvest technology was also considered very vital in strengthening sustainable fisheries development in the region and especially in placing the region’s fishery products in the world market, MFRD had taken such paradigm as its key direction since the late 1970s. Henceforth, MFRD had assumed the responsibility of promoting, undertaking and co- coordinating research in fisheries post-harvest technology, and furthering the development of the fish processing industry in the region. Besides Research and Development (R&D), MFRD has transferred the technologies it had developed to the region through training programs and dissemination of information through its regional library services. In April 2007, the SEAFDEC Council approved and endorsed the proposal for the Post-Harvest Technology Centre (PHTC) of AVA to serve as the SEAFDEC Collaborating Centre for MFRD Programs.

298

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

d) Aquaculture Department

22. The Aquaculture Department (AQD) was established in 1973 in the Philippines, and is hosted by the Philippine Government through its Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR). AQD is responsible for conducting R&D on the generation and improvement of aquaculture technologies, covering the aspects of broodstock development, hatchery management, nursery and grow-out operations, feed development, fish nutrition, disease management, and socio- economics. The aquaculture commodities covered by AQD include fishes, shrimps, mud crabs, mollusks, and seaweeds. In addition, AQD also promotes good aquaculture practices and effective management of aquatic resources to support rural development and to alleviate poverty, as well as disseminates information through training, extension and other outreach activities, and works closely with various partners in manpower and expertise development. e) Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department

23. The Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD) was established in Malaysia in 1992 to conduct activities on marine fishery resources focusing on biological studies of commercially important fish species, resource assessment and management, and conservation and management of aquatic species under international concerns, e.g. sharks and marine turtles. MFRDMD also implements activities that support the Member Countries in the compilation of information on inland capture fisheries, and development of indicators to be used in the sustainable development and management of fisheries. f) New SEAFDEC Department

24. In addition to the four existing Departments, the Government of Indonesia proposed the establishment a new department under the SEAFDEC structure, to undertake activities on development of sustainable inland fisheries. This new SEAFDEC Department is tentatively known as the “Inland Fishery Resources Development and Management Department” or IFRDMD for short.

3.3 Working Mechanisms of SEAFDEC

25. The SEAFDEC Council, which is the supreme organ of the Center, comprises the Directors for Fisheries from respective Member Countries. The Council has the power, among others, to decide on the Plans of Operation and Working Programs of the Center; adopt the annual programs and financial reports of the Center; approve the annual reports of the Center; admit new members; appoint the Secretary-General, Deputy Secretary-General, Department Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs; and approve arrangements for SEAFDEC to cooperate with other organizations. The annual meeting of the SEAFDEC Council is organized in early April of each year.

26. In order to support the efforts of the Council in endorsing the SEAFDEC programs, and ensuring that the programs and activities of SEAFDEC respond to the needs and priorities of the Member Countries, the following mechanisms were established within the SEAFDEC structure: a) SEAFDEC Program Committee

27. As a subsidiary body of the SEAFDEC Council, the SEAFDEC Program Committee was established in 1977 with the following objectives:

i. To review and evaluate the activities of the Departments to make sure that there is complementation and not duplication among the Departments themselves, and between SEAFDEC and other organizations, whether national, regional or international, working in the same region, and that the activities carried out by the Departments should conform to those approved by the Council;

299

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

ii. To assist the Departments in program formulation by advising on the needs and problems of Member Countries in the various fisheries fields, so that these needs can be considered in their programs of activity;

iii. To help SEAFDEC in drawing up long-term plans for the development of the Departments and the implementation of the objectives of SEAFDEC so that funding assistance can be properly planned; and

iv. To examine the proposed programs of activity and financial allocations of the various Departments of SEAFDEC with the objective of ensuring that the needs of all Member Countries are justly reflected in them.

28. The Annual Meeting of the Program Committee is organized around November-December every year. The SEAFDEC Program Framework comprising five program thrusts, namely: (i) Developing and promoting responsible fisheries for poverty alleviation and food security; (ii) Enhancing capacity and competitiveness to facilitate international and intra-regional trade; (iii) Improving management concepts and approaches for sustainable fisheries; (iv) Providing policy and advisory services for planning and executing management of fisheries; and (v) Addressing international fisheries-related issues from a regional perspective, are currently used in examining and analyzing the programs and activities of SEAFDEC. b) SEAFDEC National Coordinators

29. National Coordinator (NC) is a single representative of a Member Country with respect to the technical coordination work with SEAFDEC. The NC has the following Terms of Reference:

a. The NC is eligible to coordinate among various technical sections within government agencies. Under the immediate supervision of the SEAFDEC Council Director or Alternate Council Director, the NC will:

i. Communicate with SEAFDEC through the Policy and Program Coordinator (PPC) of the Secretariat on the coordination of program formulation and overall monitoring of the implementation of the SEAFDEC program, especially the Special 5-year Program;

ii. Coordinate among technical staff within the government agency through all the phases from program formulation to implementation. Although concerned SEAFDEC Departments may directly communicate with the concerned technical staff in the government agency for effective implementation of the Program, overall coordination among the technical staff who will be involved in the SEAFDEC Program will be conducted by the NC;

iii. Communicate with SEAFDEC Special Department Coordinators of the concerned Department and the Secretariat on the effective implementation of the individual projects of the Program. However, a copy of these communications should also be provided to the PPC of the Secretariat for his/her overall coordination;

iv. Maintain close consultation with immediate supervisors on the issues to be proposed by NC on behalf of the government;

v. Be responsible for initiation and promotion of all required national actions including financial arrangements for the implementation of the Program; and

vi. Provide wide range of advice to the Working Group on Regional Fisheries Policy (WGRFP)12.

b. National Coordinators should be members of the SEAFDEC Program Committee.

12 Now known as the Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN)

300

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

c) Regional Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management in Southeast Asia

30. SEAFDEC established the Regional Advisory Committee on Fisheries Management in Southeast Asia (RAC) in 2008, to become another subsidiary body of the SEAFDEC Council. RAC has the main role of providing technical and scientific advice to the SEAFDEC Council for the improvement of fisheries management in Southeast Asia. The Terms of Reference of RAC include:

i. To review and assess the current status of the fishery resources in particular transboundary fish stocks, the status of fishing industries, and fisheries management measures and administrations in the region;

ii. To provide advice on priority fisheries management issues including policy considerations, coordinated fisheries management actions, and human and institutional capacity building, in order to formulate recommendations for improved fisheries management;

iii. To facilitate addressing the identified issues, including assessment and in-depth studies, possibly through ad hoc technical working group(s); and

iv. To collaborate with international/regional organizations, programs or projects concerned with fisheries management and sustainable use of fisheries resources in formulating advice. d) Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN)

31. In 1998, SEAFDEC established the Working Group on Regional Fisheries Policy (WGRFP) with the main objective of strengthening the regional function of SEAFDEC. The members of the WGRFP were seconded by the Member Countries from their junior and middle-level government officers. However, due to financial constraints, the WGRFP was converted in 2006 into the SEAFDEC Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN), where members could either be assigned at the SEAFDEC Secretariat taking into consideration the availability of funds or appointed as virtual members and based in their respective countries. The enhanced tasks of RFPN include providing views and inputs on various issues, e.g. international fisheries-related issues, other regional priority and policy issues, as well as assistance in the implementation of SEAFDEC regional programs.

3.4 Financial Situation of SEAFDEC

32. Since its establishment in 1967, SEAFDEC relies on three important sources of funds for its operations as stipulated in the Agreement Establishing the Center and in the respective Plans of Operation of the SEAFDEC Departments. These sources are:

i. Contributions from governments hosting Departments in the form of appropriate area of land, buildings and facilities, equipment, staff, and annual cash contributions to defray the operational expenses of respective Departments;

ii. Contributions from the Government of Japan (through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs) for the purchase of training and research instruments and equipment (including training and research vessels) and conduct of activities for the Member Countries (training and special fellowships), and the annual cash contributions for the operational expenses of the Departments; and

iii. Other incomes received from various sources including those from Member Countries not hosting any Department, namely: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia (until 2012), Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam in the form of membership fees (known later as the country’s Minimum Regular Contribution or MRC), which are mainly used for the operating costs of the SEAFDEC Secretariat.

301

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

33. The regular contribution from the Government of Japan to SEAFDEC through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) was discontinued starting in 1998. Henceforth, the Government of Japan through its Fisheries Agency (FA) provided financial support to SEAFDEC in the form of “Japanese Trust Fund” for the implementation of regional programs and activities particularly those under the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Fisheries Consultative Group (FCG) mechanism. In view of the financial crisis in Japan in early 2000s and the emergence of other issues that require priority support from the Government especially those that affect the Japan-ASEAN collaboration, the annual contribution of Japan to SEAFDEC had been substantially reduced starting in 2003. Nevertheless, the Government of Japan also committed to continue its funding support to SEAFDEC for the implementation of regional programs and activities allocated under the Japanese Trust Fund and its MRC through the Fisheries Agency.

34. Anticipating that such a situation would continue to occur and could create severe impacts on the sustainable operation of the Center, the SEAFDEC Council at its 38th Meeting in 2006 agreed to the proposal that all Member Countries have to provide their respective Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) to SEAFDEC. Thus, the MRC was put into effect starting in 2007, the total of which was fixed at US$ 400,000, an amount considered sufficient enough for the sustainable operation of the Center at the barest minimum level at that time. Moreover, it was also in 2007 that the Government of Japan formally informed SEAFDEC on its decision that the financial support to SEAFDEC channeled through its MOFA would no longer be sustained.

35. During the subsequent 40th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in 2008, the Council agreed to the proposal that the level of MRC should be reviewed every 5 years in order that appropriate adjustments could be made to appropriately respond to the needs of the current time, and in order that the relevance of MRC with regards to the sustainability of the existence of the Center could be assured. Therefore, the SEAFDEC Secretariat proposed during the 43rd Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in 2011 that the total amount of MRC should be increased to US$ 500,000. Although the Council during its 44th Meeting agreed in principle that the proposed increased MRC would be adopted in 2013, individual Member Countries were also encouraged to proceed with their respective internal processes as soon as possible in order that the new MRC could be administered as proposed.

36. In addition to the contributions from governments hosting the Departments and the MRC to sustain the operations of the Departments and Secretariat, respectively, SEAFDEC also receives funding assistance from other sources for the implementation of its programs and activities.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS

37. Through the series of consultations and discussions, particularly during the missions conducted by the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee to host Member Countries and SEAFDEC Departments as well as during the discussion with the SEAFDEC National Coordinators, the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee came up with and unanimously agreed on the following recommendations, taking into consideration the changing fisheries situation of the Southeast Asian region and its Terms of Reference as set forth by the SEAFDEC Council.

4.1 Assess the continued relevance of SEAFDEC with respect to the changing situations of fisheries in the Southeast Asian region, taking into consideration the Views of the Member Countries on the Roles, Functions and Activities of SEAFDEC

38. The Committee recognized that the Member Countries have throughout the past decades, gained benefits from the activities of SEAFDEC and unanimously agreed that SEAFDEC is relevant for the sustainable development of fisheries in the Southeast Asian region. While adhering to the trend of development of fisheries and aquaculture sectors in the Southeast Asian region, and taking into consideration the changing fisheries situation in the Southeast Asian region, the Committee recommended that the Role of SEAFDEC should be shifted from “development of technologies to increase fishery production” to “improving management and enhancing sustainable utilization of fishery resources, including management of shared stocks”, and reviewed regularly to take into consideration the changing fisheries situation in the Southeast Asian region.

302

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Recommendation 1 The Role of SEAFDEC should be shifted from “development of technologies to increase fishery production” to “improving management and enhancing sustainable utilization of fishery resources, including management of shared stocks”, and regularly reviewed to take into consideration the changing fisheries situation in the Southeast Asian region.

39. Under such scenario, the Committee also recommended that the Vision and Mandate of SEAFDEC should be modified accordingly, as follows: Vision: Sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture in the Southeast Asian region Mandate: To promote concerted actions among the Member Countries to ensure the sustainable contribution of fisheries and aquaculture to the economies, social well- being and food security of the countries of Southeast Asia

Recommendation 2 The Vision and Mandate of SEAFDEC should be modified as follows: Vision: Sustainability of fisheries and aquaculture in the Southeast Asian region Mandate: To promote concerted actions among the Member Countries to ensure the sustainable contribution of fisheries and aquaculture to the economies, social well-being and food security of the countries of Southeast Asia

40. In accordance with the above Vision and Mandate, the Committee recommended that SEAFDEC should develop its Strategic Plan taking into account the issues elaborated in the Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region Towards 2020, covering short-, medium-, and long-term plans to pave the way for sourcing of financial support from donors to fund its planned activities.

Recommendation 3 SEAFDEC should develop its Strategic Plan taking into account the issues elaborated in the Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region Towards 2020, covering short-, medium-, and long- term plans to facilitate sourcing of financial support from donors to fund its planned activities.

41. Based on the analysis of the Member Countries’ Views on the Roles, Functions and Activities of SEAFDEC, the Committee concurred with the necessity for the Functions of SEAFDEC to focus on: i) research, development and verification of relevant technologies to attain sustainability of fisheries; ii) transfer of technologies through training and human resources development (HRD) activities; and iii) providing forum for regional discussion and collaboration for the development of common coordinated positions, regional standards, among others. In addition, SEAFDEC should also undertake activities aimed at raising the awareness of stakeholders on fisheries management by generating information packages and tool kits for dissemination, as well as enhancing coordination and networking with other regional/international organizations.

Recommendation 4 The Functions of SEAFDEC should focus on: i) research, development and verification of relevant technologies to attain sustainability of fisheries; ii) transfer of technologies through training and human resources development (HRD) activities; and iii) providing forum for regional discussion and collaboration for the development of common coordinated positions, regional standards, among others.

Recommendation 5 SEAFDEC should undertake activities aimed at raising the awareness of stakeholders on fisheries management by generating information packages and tool kits for dissemination, as well as enhancing coordination and networking with other regional/international organizations.

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

4.2 Examine and review the Plans of Operation and activities of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments, taking into consideration their respective short-, medium- and long-term operations

42. Since in the past fisheries development in the region has seemingly led to the decline of fishery resources, the Committee recommended that SEAFDEC should concentrate its effort in strengthening fisheries management through the development of appropriate guidelines as well as in intensifying capacity building activities. Moreover, in view of the large number of fishers in the region, the Committee also recommended that SEAFDEC should extend support to the Member Countries to strengthen their capacity in delegating management responsibilities to local communities through participatory approaches, e.g. co-management, community-based management, etc.

Recommendation 6 SEAFDEC should concentrate its effort in strengthening fisheries management through development of appropriate guidelines as well as in intensifying capacity building activities and extending support to the Member Countries to strengthen their capacity in delegating management responsibilities to the local communities through participatory approaches.

43. While taking into consideration the Plan of Operation and activities developed by the Secretariat and Departments, and the “Member Countries’ Views on the Expected Roles, Functions and Activities of SEAFDEC” endorsed by the SEAFDEC Council in 2012, the Committee recommended that issues under the scopes of fisheries management, fishing technologies and practices, post-harvest and trade- related issues, aquaculture, human resources development (HRD), and fisheries information and statistics are important and should be included in the Plans of Operation of the relevant Departments of SEAFDEC. The list of issues appears as Annex 3.

Recommendation 7 Issues under the scopes of fisheries management, fishing technologies and practices, post-harvest and trade-related issues, aquaculture, human resources development (HRD), and fisheries information and statistics should be included in the Plans of Operation of the SEAFDEC Departments.

44. Moreover, the Committee also recommended that the Plans of Operation of the SEAFDEC Departments should be regularly updated to be able to address the emerging issues and requirements of the region, and that there should be clear demarcation of functions among the Departments to reduce possible duplication of efforts. However, while noting that the scopes of activities that should be undertaken by SEAFDEC are very diverse, the Committee recognized that there could be activities that fall under the responsibility of more than one Department, and recommended that close coordination between concerned Departments should be sustained.

Recommendation 8 The Plans of Operation of the SEAFDEC Departments should be regularly updated to be able to address the emerging issues and requirements of the region, and that clear demarcation of functions among the Departments should be in place to reduce possible duplication of efforts.

4.3 Review the financial management of SEAFDEC, taking into account the diminishing funding from external sources and to avoid increasing substantially the Minimum Regular Contribution of the Member Countries vis-à-vis the operations of SEAFDEC

45. While noting that the current sources of financial support to SEAFDEC come from: the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) to support the operations of SEAFDEC Secretariat; regular contribution from host governments to respective SEAFDEC Departments; and other funding support from donor agencies and organizations, and considering the tight financial situation of SEAFDEC, the Committee recommended that SEAFDEC should be more proactive in sourcing funds and relevant support from

304

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

non-traditional sources including the private sector. These could include donor agencies (e.g. UNDP, GEF, NORAD, Sida, USAID, the Netherlands, etc.), private sector, local government units (LGUs), among others. Funding support from the “FAO/Technical Cooperation among Developing Countries (TCDC)” should also be explored to fund activities that are aimed at enhancing human resources in fisheries for the Member Countries, e.g. the Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN). In addition, the Member Countries in collaboration with SEAFDEC are encouraged to exert efforts in developing project proposals that are eligible for external financial support.

Recommendation 9 SEAFDEC should be more proactive in sourcing funds and relevant support from non-traditional sources including the private sector and that the Member Countries in collaboration with SEAFDEC are encouraged to exert efforts in developing project proposals that are eligible for external financial support.

46. On the allocation of funds granted to SEAFDEC from various sources for the implementation of regional programs, the Committee recommended that certain flexibility should be provided to the Secretariat under the guidance of the Council, in the disbursements of such funds to accommodate activities that are considered priorities of the region while taking into account the specific objectives and concerns of particular donors as well as the directives of the Council.

Recommendation 10 Under the guidance of the Council, the Secretariat should be provided with certain flexibility in the disbursements of funds from various sources for the implementation of regional programs in order to accommodate activities that are priority of the region while also taking into account the specific objectives and priorities of particular donors as well as the directives of the Council.

47. Considering that the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) of Member Countries to SEAFDEC is rather limited (except that of Japan), the Committee recommended that Member Countries should enhance their sense of ownership and support to SEAFDEC so that the capacity of SEAFDEC in coping with the increasing requirements of the region could be strengthened. Moreover, the Committee also recommended that the MRC should be used for the operations of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and not for supporting the operations or activities of any particular Departments.

Recommendation 11 Member Countries should enhance their sense of ownership and support to SEAFDEC so that the capacity of SEAFDEC in coping with the increasing requirements of the region could be strengthened.

Recommendation 12 The Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) should be used for the operations of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and not for supporting the operations or activities of any particular Departments.

48. The Committee noted the high maintenance cost of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2, which currently makes use of an annual budget of about 150,000 USD from the MRC. As the MRC should be utilized mainly for the operations of the Secretariat, the Committee viewed that additional alternative means should be explored to cover the maintenance of the vessel, e.g. revision of cost-sharing scheme where countries requesting for the use of the vessel should pay not only for the fuel costs, but also some portions of the maintenance costs.

49. The Committee also recommended that certain amount of funds should be reserved from the MRC to be used by the Secretariat for contingency purposes, e.g. conduct of regional consultations on important emerging issues.

305

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

Recommendation 13 Alternative means of sourcing funds to cover the maintenance cost of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 should be explored while certain amount of funds from the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC) should be reserved and to be disbursed by the Secretariat for contingency purposes.

4.4 Recommend ways and means to improve the working mechanism and management of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments to ensure continued cost effectiveness, including exploring possible alternate structures to the Departmental set up a) SEAFDEC Structure

50. The Committee recognized the unique characteristics of SEAFDEC, such as having its technical Departments in the region equipped with physical facilities for research and development in both capture and culture fisheries, and that the SEAFDEC Departments have different set-up to fulfill the activities required by the Member Countries, such as independent Departments (e.g. TD and AQD) and Departments established under the structure of governmental offices (e.g. MFRD and MFRDMD). Additionally, since such set up has facilitated the exchange of expertise and information between SEAFDEC and the host countries, the Committee therefore recommended that the uniqueness of SEAFDEC, having a Secretariat and technical Departments supported by host governments of different Member Countries, should be maintained as this helps in enhancing relationships and networking between SEAFDEC and the host countries.

Recommendation 14 The uniqueness of SEAFDEC, having a Secretariat and technical Departments supported by host governments of different Member Countries, should be maintained as this helps in enhancing relationships and networking between SEAFDEC and the host countries. b) Improvement of Working Mechanism and Management of SEAFDEC

i. SEAFDEC Secretariat

51. While the SEAFDEC Secretariat is being supported financially by the Government of Thailand through its annual contribution for the Training Department (TD), the Committee sought the possibility of putting into effect the independence of the Secretariat from TD which should be explored as this would allow the Secretary-General to work more efficiently with his designated functions at the SEAFDEC Secretariat and to concentrate on the overall welfare of the Center. In this regard, the Committee also recognized that certain costs incurred from such an independent Secretariat, should be shared among the Member Countries.

Recommendation 15 The possibility of putting into effect the independence of the Secretariat from the Training Department should be explored as this would allow the Secretary-General to work more efficiently with his designated functions at the SEAFDEC Secretariat and to concentrate on the overall welfare of the Center. The costs that could incur from such an independent Secretariat should be shared among the Member Countries.

52. The Committee was of the view that having a Secretariat independent from TD would be beneficial to SEAFDEC as it would allow SEAFDEC to recruit qualified officer to serve as Secretary- General, while providing also the opportunities for officers from other Member Countries to apply for the position of the Secretary-General. However, in order to put this into effect, there is a need to amend Article 8 of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC, which stipulates that the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General are concurrently the Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs, respectively, of one of the

306

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Departments. Such amended provision would not require the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary- General to hold concurrent positions with any Department. In addition, the term of office of the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General should be extended for a period of four years and may be recommended for re-appointment.

Recommendation 16 Article 8 of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC should be amended in order that the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General would not be required to hold concurrent positions with any Department, and that the term of office of the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General should be for a period of four years but may be recommended for re-appointment.

53. While noting the improved structure of SEAFDEC comprising technical departments located in different countries, the Committee recommended that the roles and functions of the Secretariat should be focused in enhancing coordination between the Departments and the Member Countries, overseeing the activities of the Center in response to the directives given by the SEAFDEC Council, and sourcing of funds to support the planned activities of SEAFDEC. Nevertheless, considering the difficulties that the Secretariat would face in intervening with the internal operations and management of the Departments, the Committee recognized the role of the Secretary-General as chief administrator of the Center, and recommended that the Secretariat should be granted certain authority to intervene over some administrative aspects of the Departments.

Recommendation 17 The roles and functions of the Secretariat should be focused on enhancing coordination between the Departments and the Member Countries, overseeing the activities of the Center in response to the directives given by the SEAFDEC Council, and sourcing of funds to support the planned activities of SEAFDEC, while the Secretariat should be granted certain authority over the administrative aspects of the Departments.

54. Moreover, the Committee also recommended that the SEAFDEC Secretariat should be involved in the implementation of certain technical projects such as fisheries statistics and information, particularly in the compilation of fishery statistics as a routine activity of the Secretariat and on matters relating to international treaties and legal instruments. In cases where external donors provide funds to SEAFDEC (through the Secretariat) for the implementation of inter-disciplinary projects, the Secretariat should coordinate the allocation of funds to relevant Departments in the implementation of such projects. If necessary, an ad hoc office could be established at the Secretariat on a temporary basis, to support the implementation of such projects and to ensure that funding of such projects is properly coordinated.

Recommendation 18 The Secretariat should not be involved in the implementation of technical projects except on activities related to fisheries statistics and information, particularly in the compilation of fishery statistics as a routine activity of the Secretariat, and on matters relating to international treaties and legal instruments. An ad hoc office to support the implementation of interdisciplinary projects by concerned Departments could be established at the Secretariat on a temporary basis, to ensure that funding for such projects is properly coordinated.

55. The structure of the Secretariat may comprise the coordination offices, legal advisor, information and statistics unit, and may also have ad hoc offices for specific project(s), subject to the availability of funds. Contingency funds should also be allocated to the SEAFDEC Secretariat to enable it to respond to emerging requirements of the Member Countries. In order to accentuate the mandate of SEAFDEC Secretariat to perform administrative coordination of SEAFDEC activities and not to implement projects, the Committee recommended that the services of a legal expert should be availed of to properly delineate the roles of the Secretariat in light of the officially agreed provisions in the Basic Documents of the Center.

307

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

Recommendation 19 Contingency funds should be allocated to the SEAFDEC Secretariat to enable it to respond to the emerging requirements of the Member Countries.

Recommendation 20 The services of a legal expert in the Secretariat should be availed of to properly delineate the roles of the Secretariat in performing administrative coordination and implementing projects in light of the officially agreed provisions in the Basic Documents of the Center.

ii. SEAFDEC Departments

56. The Committee recognized the major roles that the SEAFDEC Departments have been playing to support the Member Countries in achieving long-term fisheries development objectives. However, the Committee also noted that various useful expertise and facilities are available in the SEAFDEC Departments but are not fully utilized due to financial constraints, such as the fishing engineering workshop of TD, bio-technology laboratory at AQD, among others. The Committee therefore recommended that the Member Countries should explore the ways and means of enhancing the utilization of such expertise and facilities on cost-sharing basis. SEAFDEC should also explore the possibility of seeking financial support from donor agencies to enable its research staff to conduct studies using such expertise and facilities or allowing the private sector and academic institutions of other Member Countries to make use of such expertise and facilities on a cost-sharing basis.

Recommendation 21 Member Countries should explore the ways and means of enhancing the utilization on cost-sharing basis, of the useful expertise and facilities available at the Departments which are not fully utilized due to financial constraints.

Recommendation 22 SEAFDEC should explore the possibility of seeking financial support from donor agencies to enable its research staff to conduct studies using the expertise and facilities described in Recommendation 21 or allowing the private sector and academic institutions of other Member Countries to make use of such expertise and facilities on a cost-sharing basis.

57. While recognizing the proposal made by Singapore designating the Post-harvest Technology Center of the Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority (AVA) as SEAFDEC Collaborating Centre to implement MFRD programs, the Committee was of the view that such situation may not allow MFRD to fully undertake its function of extending activities on fishery post-harvest and food safety to the Member Countries. This also necessitates the adoption by SEAFDEC of a new mode of program operation and financial transaction, adding to the already heavy burden of the Secretariat. In light of this situation, the Committee expressed the concern on the lack of clarity on the position of MFRD in SEAFDEC, and on the promotion the future activities of SEAFDEC on post-harvest and food safety which are very crucial for the development of fisheries in the region. The Committee therefore recommended that SEAFDEC should seek clarification from Singapore of its view on the official status of MFRD with respect to the overall organization of SEAFDEC.

Recommendation 23 SEAFDEC should seek clarification from Singapore of its views on the official status of the Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD) with respect to the overall organization of SEAFDEC. c) Improving Program Formulation, Implementation and Evaluation Mechanism

58. Since the involvement of the Member Countries in the current program formulation process seems limited because the SEAFDEC programs for scrutiny at the Program Committee Meetings (PCM) are formulated by SEAFDEC, the Committee recommended that the involvement of Member Countries

308

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

in program formulation should be considered prior to the PCM, e.g. in the technical consultations on specific subject matters (by technical staff of the Member Countries) as well as during the scrutiny of the overall programs at the PCM.

Recommendation 24 The involvement of Member Countries in program formulation should be considered prior to the Program Committee Meeting (PCM), especially in technical consultations on specific subject matters as well as during the scrutiny of the overall programs at the PCM.

59. The Committee also recognized the important roles of the National Coordinators (NCs) in coordinating with relevant national agencies vis-à-vis the implementation of SEAFDEC activities to ensure timely actions and effective implementation of the activities of SEAFDEC, and recommended that Member Countries should ensure that NCs are appropriately selected and that the roles and duties of NCs should be clearly spelled out in their Terms of Reference (TOR).

Recommendation 25 Member Countries should ensure that their respective National Coordinators (NCs) are appropriately selected and that the roles and duties of NCs should be clearly spelled out in their Terms of Reference.

60. While noting that the SEAFDEC Regional Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management (RAC) which was established as a subsidiary body of the SEAFDEC Council, has played the main role of providing technical and scientific advice to the Council for the improvement of fisheries management in Southeast Asia, the Committee viewed that the current mechanism of RAC may not be able to efficiently serve its objectives. The Committee therefore recommended that instead of convening the RAC, development of technical/scientific advice for the Council to address particular aspects of fisheries management, should be carried out by ad hoc working groups when issues arise or when responding to special agenda assigned by the SEAFDEC Council. In addition, SEAFDEC should seek clarification from the Council on whether or not RAC should still be maintained as its subsidiary body.

Recommendation 26 Instead of convening the SEAFDEC Regional Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management (RAC), the development of technical/scientific advice to address particular aspects of fisheries management should be carried out by ad hoc working groups when issues arise or when responding to special agenda assigned by the SEAFDEC Council, and that SEAFDEC should also seek clarification from the Council on whether or not RAC should still be maintained as its subsidiary body. d) Strengthening Human Capacity in SEAFDEC

61. The Committee recommended that SEAFDEC activities related to human capacity building should be enhanced to diversify the expertise and cope with emerging requirements of the Member Countries, as well as to catch up with the advances in fisheries management and the unfolding scenario in fisheries. This could be done through the establishment of appropriate capacity building mechanism, as well as short-, medium- and long-term plans, e.g. through staff exchange/attachment programs and forging linkage with institutions and the academe for advanced degree programs while the possibility of inviting external expertise should also be explored to promote exchange of expertise.

Recommendation 27 The capacity of existing SEAFDEC staff should be enhanced to diversify the expertise and catch up with the advances in fisheries management and the unfolding scenario in fisheries through the establishment of a mechanism that promotes staff exchange/attachment programs as well as forging linkages with institutions and the academe for advanced degree programs, and the possibility of inviting external expertise should also be explored to promote exchange of expertise.

309

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

62. In order to avail of expertise from external sources, the Committee recommended that short-term experts may be tapped to work on specific emerging issues while allowing the counterpart departmental staff to enhance their knowledge and skills. In addition, an “expert pool” could be established through linkage with other national/regional institutions for future mobilization and possible recruitment as and when necessary to support the activities of SEAFDEC, particularly where the expertise within SEAFDEC is insufficient.

Recommendation 28 Short-term experts from external sources may be tapped to work on specific emerging issues while allowing the counterpart departmental staff to enhance their knowledge and skills, and that an “expert pool” could be established through linkage with other national/regional institutions for future mobilization and possible recruitment as and when necessary to support the activities of SEAFDEC, particularly where the expertise within SEAFDEC is insufficient.

63. To ensure that the long-term availability or longevity of expertise in the Departments is sustained, the Committee recommended that benefits and remunerations of Departmental staff should be improved, e.g. salary scale should be made attractive to sustain expertise in the Departments, while incentive systems could also be developed and/or improved. In addition, appropriate welfare system should also be put in place to secure the long-term well-being of the staff.

Recommendation 29 Staff benefits and remunerations should be improved by developing attractive salary scales while incentive systems should be developed and/or improved, and an appropriate welfare system is put in place to secure the long-term well-being of the staff. e) Enhancing SEAFDEC Visibility

64. SEAFDEC should continue to enhance its visibility and profile through the production of regular publications and other information materials for the various media, including the conduct of and/or involvement in promotional events to foster the image of SEAFDEC to the public. In addition, SEAFDEC should also package results of its R&D activities for dissemination to the Member Countries while results of research conducted by SEAFDEC should be presented in the international/regional scientific fora or published in referred scientific journals. The Committee also noted the initiative of SEAFDEC in developing the publication on “Southeast Asian State of Fisheries and Aquaculture 2012” and expressed the view that since the publication is very useful, the initiative should be regularly promoted in the future.

Recommendation 30 SEAFDEC should continue to enhance its visibility and profile through various media, including the conduct of and/or involvement in promotional events to foster the image of SEAFDEC to the public, and SEAFDEC should package results of its R&D activities for dissemination to the Member Countries while results of research conducted by SEAFDEC should be presented in the international/regional scientific fora or published in referred scientific journals. f) Enhancing Collaboration and Partnership

65. While noting that SEAFDEC has established collaboration with several organizations in the implementation of activities of mutual interest, the Committee recommended that SEAFDEC should continue to strengthen its collaboration with other organizations in order to enhance and/or attain synergy in sharing and exchanging information while avoiding possible duplication of efforts.

310

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Recommendation 31 SEAFDEC should continue to strengthen its collaboration with other organizations in order to enhance and/or attain synergy in sharing and exchanging information while avoiding possible duplication of efforts.

66. On the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Strategic Partnership (ASSP) mechanism, and while recognizing that SEAFDEC has been serving as technical arm in fisheries for the ASEAN, the Committee recommended that such collaboration should be continued and strengthened. The Committee also recommended that SEAFDEC should explore the ways and means of enhancing the benefits that SEAFDEC and the Member Countries can gain from such mechanism, e.g. in obtaining political support from the ASEAN mechanism in the promotion SEAFDEC activities, advocating the activities of SEAFDEC to wider audience, and acquiring funding support from the ASEAN channel and dialogue partners.

Recommendation 32 Under the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Strategic Partnership (ASSP) mechanism, SEAFDEC should explore the ways and means of enhancing the benefits that SEAFDEC and the Member Countries can gain from such mechanism, especially in obtaining political support from the ASEAN mechanism in the promotion of SEAFDEC activities, advocating the activities of SEAFDEC to wider audience, and acquiring funding support from the ASEAN channel and dialogue partners.

67. Considering the importance of fisheries to food security and economic development of the countries in the region, and while the recognition and support from the ASEAN to SEAFDEC has been observed to be rather limited, the Committee recommended that SEAFDEC in collaboration with the Member Countries, should continue to raise the profile of fisheries in the ASEAN, in order to obtain strong support and possible funding from the ASEAN mechanism, e.g. ASEAN Plus Three, ASEAN Foundation, etc.

68. The Committee also recommended that SEAFDEC should explore the ways and means of contributing to the realization of ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) targeted in 2015, e.g. developing minimum guidelines for the fisheries and aquaculture sector of the region, supporting capacity building for people involved in the sector.

Recommendation 34 SEAFDEC should explore the ways and means of contributing to the realization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) targeted in 2015, by developing minimum guidelines for the fisheries and aquaculture sector of the region, and supporting capacity building for the people involved in the sector.

69. While recognizing that the SEAFDEC Council has already endorsed the “Guidelines for Collaborative Arrangements” as broad collaborative framework of SEAFDEC, the Committee took note of the recent development of the “Guidelines for Establishment of Collaborating Center for SEAFDEC” as proposed by Singapore. The Committee then recommended that these two guidelines should be streamlined into a single set of guidelines that cover all forms of collaboration, in order to avoid confusion that may arise on the profile of SEAFDEC and in the implementation of activities by SEAFDEC Departments and the Collaborating Centers, and also to have clear distinction between SEAFDEC Departments and Collaborating Centers. Moreover, the issue of incorporating the Collaborative Centers into the SEAFDEC organizational structure should be reflected in the SEAFDEC Basic Documents. Until such time that the Basic Documents will have been duly amended to incorporate

311

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

the involvement of Collaborating Centers in SEAFDEC activities, such Collaborating Centers should be treated as organizations external to SEAFDEC.

Recommendation 35 The “Guidelines for Collaborative Arrangements” and proposed “Guidelines for Establishment of Collaborating Center for SEAFDEC” should be streamlined into a single set of guidelines that cover all forms of collaboration, in order to avoid confusion that may arise in the implementation of activities by SEAFDEC Departments and the Collaborating Centers, and that there should be a clear distinction between SEAFDEC Departments and Collaborating Centers.

V. WAY FORWARD

70. The Third SEAFDEC Review Committee agreed that the Report of the Third SEAFDEC Review will be submitted for consideration by the SEAFDEC Council at its 45th Meeting in April 2013 by the Chairperson of the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee. The Committee also agreed to request the SEAFDEC Council to provide directives for SEAFDEC to undertake appropriate actions to enhance the contribution of fisheries to food security in the region as well as to the realization of the ASEAN Economic Community by 2015.

312

The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Appendix 1 of Annex 6

TERMS OF REFERENCE OF THE THIRD SEAFDEC REVIEW (endorsed by the SEAFDEC Council by ad referendum, July 2012)

BACKGROUND

Since its establishment in 1967, SEAFDEC has undergone two major review exercises where its operations had been assessed in accordance with its role and functions as mandated by the SEAFDEC Council. Conducted by external Review Committees, the first review in 1986 assessed the accomplishments and activities of SEAFDEC during the 18 years of its existence, and discussed the ways and means of improving the management of the Center and setting its future direction taking into consideration the proposed establishment of the ASEAN Fisheries Development Centre. The second review in 1991 evaluated the performance of SEAFDEC from 1986 to 1990, and reviewed the financial management of SEAFDEC taking into consideration the financial system of the Member Countries.

While the mandate and operations of SEAFDEC had been adjusted in accordance with the recommendations made by the Review Committees in 1986 and 1991, the fisheries situation over the past decades had experienced changes bringing about great challenges that could tremendously impact on the sustainable development of fisheries in the Southeast Asian region. Specifically, emerging issues and challenges have come to light, including the more stringent requirements for sustainable utilization of fishery resources, quality and safety of fish and fishery products, and on the need to enhance the contribution of fisheries to food security and the well-being of people, as well as relevant binding international instruments, more particularly the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.

During the same period, SEAFDEC also underwent transformations in terms of its functions and operations, particularly its collaboration with the ASEAN after the establishment of the ASEAN- SEAFDEC Fisheries Consultative Group (FCG) and the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Strategic Partnership (ASSP). It is also envisaged that other aspects could emanate under the circumstances when the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) would be established by 2015. Recent developments also arose including the adoption of the “Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region” by the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Ministers during the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference “Fish for the People 2020: Adaptation to a Changing Environment” in 2011, and the eventual establishment of a Regional Center for Inland Fisheries Development under the umbrella of SEAFDEC. Under such situations, another review of the activities, operations and management of SEAFDEC is therefore deemed necessary to enable the organization to properly respond to the emerging challenges that confront the fisheries sector of the region and assist the Member Countries in their continuing efforts towards achieving sustainable fisheries development for food security.

THIRD REVIEW OF SEAFDEC OPERATIONS, FUNCTIONS AND MANAGEMENT

Considering the exigency of the matter, the SEAFDEC Council during its 43rd Meeting in April 2011 in Malacca, Malaysia supported the proposal to conduct the Third SEAFDEC Review, and requested SEAFDEC to compile the views of the Member Countries on the roles, functions and activities of SEAFDEC which could serve as inputs for the said Review. Based on the compiled views of the Member Countries, the SEAFDEC Council through ad referendum raised the following concerns which SEAFDEC should take into consideration in conjunction with the Third SEAFDEC Review:

 The existing and new programs of SEAFDEC should be efficiently prioritized and effectively re- organized in order to deal with the various issues that could emanate from the results of the Third Review Exercise;  The Third Review of SEAFDEC should be done in conjunction with the review of the Plans of Operation of the Departments; and

313

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

 Review of the roles and functions of SEAFDEC should be conducted by an independent entity/neutral third party and come up with recommendations/suggestions for the improvement of the organization.

During the subsequent 44th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council in April 2012 in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar, the Council agreed to conduct the Third SEAFDEC Review using the existing budget from the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC), and provided the following directives:

 The review should be conducted by external/independent entity and the members of the review team should be from the Asian region, although one member could be from outside the region as deemed appropriate and necessary;  The review team should have expertise in (but not limited to) aquaculture, capture fisheries, inland fisheries, organization management, policy and legal, post-harvest, processing and trade, and financial management;  The review team should be familiar with SEAFDEC and SEAFDEC activities, and have experience working in international arena and no conflict of interest with SEAFDEC;  The Terms of Reference (TOR) should be developed by SEAFDEC which should also initially identify the potential review team members based on the aforementioned criteria;  The Secretary-General of SEAFDEC would serve as ex officio member of the review team;  The draft TOR and composition of the Third SEAFDEC Review Team should be circulated to the SEAFDEC Council of Directors for consideration by ad referendum; and  SEAFDEC should compile the comments, and adjust and revise the TOR accordingly for submission to the Council for approval by ad referendum.

Objectives of the Third SEAFDEC Review

Based on the aforementioned considerations, the Third SEAFDEC Review should examine the operations, functions and management of SEAFDEC, and recommend the ways and means that would enable SEAFDEC to appropriately respond to the emerging challenges that confront the fisheries sector of the region and assist the Member Countries in their continuing efforts towards achieving sustainable fisheries development for food security.

Specifically, the Third SEAFDEC Review should aim to: 1. Assess the continued relevance of SEAFDEC with respect to the changing situations of fisheries in the Southeast Asian region, taking into consideration the Views of the Member Countries on the Roles, Functions and Activities of SEAFDEC; 2. Examine and review the Plans of Operation and activities of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments, taking into consideration their respective short-, medium- and long-term operations; 3. Review the financial management of SEAFDEC, taking into account the diminishing funding from external sources and to avoid increasing substantially the Minimum Regular Contribution of the Member Countries vis-à-vis the operations of SEAFDEC; and 4. Recommend ways and means to improve the working mechanism and management of the SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments to ensure continued cost effectiveness, including exploring possible alternate structures to the Departmental set up.

SEAFDEC Activities with Respect to the Third SEAFDEC Review

1. Propose the composition of the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee for consideration by the SEAFDEC Council through ad referendum; 2. Facilitate the conduct of meetings, consultations and discussions by the Review Committee; and 3.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS, IMPLICATIONS ON THE POSSIBILITY OF AMENDING THE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING SEAFDEC, AND CORRESPONDING COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE THIRD SEAFDEC REVIEW COMMITTEE

This document provides information on the financial implications, implications on the possibility of (or necessity to) amending the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC, and the corresponding cost benefit analysis with respect to the Recommendations made by the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee. This is prepared in response to the request made by the SEAFDEC Council during its 45th Meeting in April 2013.

1. BACKGROUND

During the 45th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, the following points were discussed and agreed upon, with regards to the “The Third SEAFDEC Review”:

(99) The Council took note of the report presented by the Chairperson of the Third SEAFDEC Review Committee. It was recalled that the 44th Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council agreed in principle to conduct the Third SEAFDEC Review by an external entity. The Third SEAFDEC Review was therefore conducted in line with the Terms of Reference (TOR) as approved by the Council, through circulation.

(100) After the deliberation, the Council agreed to bring back the Report of the Third Review to their respective countries for further scrutiny. The Council also requested SEAFDEC to organize a Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council by October 2013 in Bangkok, Thailand to discuss the recommendations of the 3rd SEAFDEC Review. The Council also recommended that SEAFDEC should provide information on the financial implications of the Review Committee’s recommendations as well as their implications on the possibility of amending the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC and cost benefit analysis of the organization for further consideration and discussion during the said meeting. In this regard, SEAFDEC was requested to communicate with Member Countries and confirm the date of the Meeting taking into consideration the schedule of related events such as the IOTC, WCPFC, and AMAF among others, to ensure that the Council Directors are available to attend the Meeting

(101) The Council Director of Japan notified the Council of his intention to send questions and requests for information to the SEAFDEC Secretariat for seeking clarification of the financial situation and the program consequences so that the review of the recommendations would be conducted efficiently and constructively. The exchange of information in this regard will be circulated among all the Council Directors for review.

2. THE FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS, IMPLICATIONS ON THE POSSIBILITY OF AMENDING THE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING SEAFDEC, AND CORRESPONDING COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE THIRD SEAFDEC REVIEW

319

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

Recommendation 3 SEAFDEC should develop its Strategic Plan taking into account the issues elaborated in the Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region Towards 2020, covering short-, medium-, and long-term plans to facilitate sourcing of financial support from donors to fund its planned activities.

Recommendation 7 Issues under the scopes of fisheries management, fishing technologies and practices, post- harvest and trade-related issues, aquaculture, human resources development (HRD), and fisheries information and statistics should be included in the Plans of Operation of the SEAFDEC Departments.

Recommendation 9 SEAFDEC should be more proactive in sourcing funds and relevant support from non- traditional sources including the private sector and that the Member Countries in collaboration with SEAFDEC are encouraged to exert efforts in developing project proposals that are eligible for external financial support.

320 The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Recommendations 1 to 10 have no direct “financial implications” and could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

**************************************

Financial implications

Recommendation 11 have “financial implications” if Member Countries consider enhancing their support to SEAFDEC in the future.

Financial implications

Recommendation 12 may not have any direct “financial implications”, since it only suggests how to make use of the MRC. However, from the perspective of the need to increase contributions from the Member Countries, then there could be certain implications. Nevertheless, Recommendation 12 could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC. Moreover, linking Recommendation 12 to Recommendation 13 would have some financial implications, especially when the MRC could not be used for the operating costs of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2, in which case other sources of funds would have to be identified to defray the costs of operating the vessel.

Specifically, Recommendation 13 would entail additional financial implications from the Member Countries since this would imply the need to “source funds to cover the maintenance cost of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2”. At present, the annual operating cost of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 including maintenance is covered by MRC, the relevant Japanese Trust Fund-supported projects, and collaborating partners (e.g. countries requesting to use the vessel) through cost-sharing scheme. It should be noted that from 2004 to 2006, the operating costs for the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 were charged to the Unspent Japanese Funds. During the last 6 years from 2007 to 2012, the average operating costs of about 138,000 USD per year was covered by the MRC. Currently, USD 150,000 of the MRC is reserved annually for the operation and maintenance of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2. Although countries that request for the use of the vessel share part of the operating costs, any unexpected costs incurred and other relevant additional costs would also be charged to the MRC. If SEAFDEC

321

Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center

implements this recommendation, other sources of funds (USD 150,000 annually) to support the operation and maintenance of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 should be identified.

Cost benefit analysis If the annual operating costs of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 will no longer be charged to the MRC, since the MRC will be used to cover the Secretariat operation costs only (Recommendation 12) the stability of the Secretariat budgetary situation would improve. This could result in the possibility of the Secretariat allocating sufficient budget/funds to other activities, including those that require contingency measures.

Rec 11 and 13 Benefits Costs Full MRC to be  Secretariat will have more funds  Secretariat will have to find allocated for which could be used to enhance its other sources of funds to defray Secretariat coordinating function the maintenance and operation activities, i.e.  With sufficient funds, Secretariat costs of the M.V. SEAFDEC 2 reserved funds could conduct other relevant activities  Requesting Member Countries from MRC of required by Member Countries as will need to pay more for the use USD 150,000 for indicated in its mandate of the vessel based on cost- the M.V.  Function of the Secretariat with sharing scheme which might SEAFDEC 2 to be respect to increasing the visibility of even discourage countries to use reverted to SEAFDEC is strengthened the vessel in the future Secretariat  Secretariat would be able to fulfill the  In the end, Secretariat will have other functions of providing technical, to exert more effort to sustain policy and legal advice to the Member the maintenance cost of the Countries as the need arises vessel, whether it is used or not

Recommendation 13 could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

**************************************

Recommendation 14 has no direct “financial implications” and could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

**************************************

Recommendations 15-18 are all linked to the SEAFDEC Secretariat and its roles and functions. While part of the operations of the Secretariat is supported by the MRC, administration of the Secretariat mainly makes use of the regular annual contributions of the Government of Thailand to TD. Although Recommendations 15 to 18 are linked but their respective possible ‘financial implications’ and implications on the potential need for ‘amending the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC’ vary as shown below. Subsequently, reference is first made to the Recommendations 15 and 16 and thereafter to Recommendations 17-18.

322 The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Recommendation 16 Article 8 of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC should be amended in order that the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General would not be required to hold concurrent positions with any Department, and that the term of office of the Secretary- General and Deputy Secretary-General should be for a period of four years but may be recommended for re-appointment.

Financial implications

Recommendations 15 and 16 would have certain financial implications, especially to the Member Countries as shown below:

The SEAFDEC Secretary-General (SG) and the Deputy Secretary-General (DSG) have concurrent positions as Training Department Chief and Deputy Chief, respectively. The annual remuneration of the Secretary-General of approximately 40,000 USD (for salaries and perquisites) is covered by the regular contributions of the Government of Thailand to SEAFDEC/TD; while the annual remuneration of DSG of approximately 50,000 USD (for salaries, housing and insurance) is covered by Japanese Trust Fund. Salaries of local staff (support and professional staff) and basic (rental) cost of the Secretariat Office as well as cost of repairs and maintenance, furniture and fixtures are also covered by Thai Government’s annual contributions to TD.

Unless paid for by external resources in connection with specific objectives, the Member Countries would have to contribute more for the administration and operating expenses of an independent Secretariat. Therefore, if the responsibilities of SG and the DSG would be separated from their respective roles as TD Chief and Deputy Chief, and would focus only on the functions of SG and DSG in accordance with the abovementioned Recommendations, the Member Counties would have to share the agreed costs for these two major positions in SEAFDEC.

Furthermore, and in line with the suggested independent Secretariat, the positions of local staff should also be reconsidered since the cost of hiring such staff should be shared among the Member Countries (either through MRC or other means). In addition, whether the Secretariat would need a Financial Officer (separate from TD) or not should also be considered.

Cost benefit analysis

If SG and DSG could devote their time only to the activities of the Secretariat and to concentrate on the overall welfare of the Center, while the officials designated as Chief and Deputy Chief of TD dedicate their time and effort to the activities of TD, time management with respect to the activities and services within the organization as a whole could be improved and thus, eventually enhancing the benefits that could be gained by the Member Countries from SEAFDEC. The following table is presented to reflect the benefits and the costs of having an independent Secretariat taking into consideration the need for SG and DSG to concentrate on the promotion of SEAFDEC as a whole.

Recommendation 15 could actually be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC, but Recommendation 16 implies the amendment of Article 8 of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC, which stipulates that the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General are concurrently the Chiefs and Deputy Chiefs, respectively, of one of the Departments. Such amended provision would no longer require the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General to hold concurrent positions with any Department. In addition, the location of the Secretariat office, and the required qualifications and recruitment process for the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General would need to be further elaborated. Furthermore, the amendment would include the terms of office of the Secretary-General and Deputy Secretary-General, which should be for a period of four years and may be recommended for extension.

(Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC) Article 8 COMPOSITION OF SECRETARIAT 2. The term of office of the Secretary-General and the Deputy Secretary-General shall be two years and they may be re-appointed. 3. The Secretary-General and the Deputy Secretary-General shall be concurrently the Chief and the Deputy Chief of one of the Departments.

Recommendations 17 has no direct “financial implications” and could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC, although this Recommendation is closely related with Recommendations 15-16.

324 The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

Recommendation 18 could have financial implications especially since qualified staff will have to be recruited to undertake the suggested functions of the Secretariat, e.g. coordinating officers, legal advisor, statistician, and other ad hoc officers as needed. This is also linked to Recommendations 20. The Recommendation could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

Recommendation 19 Contingency funds should be allocated to the SEAFDEC Secretariat to enable it to respond to the emerging requirements of the Member Countries.

Financial implications

Recommendation 19 will have certain “financial implications” to the Member Countries since additional contributions would be requested in the future to establish a contingency fund, unless this could be covered by the existing MRC or through funds from other sources. Cost benefit analysis

The Secretariat has so far been taking actions within its available budget(s) to address any contingency issues that occurred. However, if adequate contingency funds are allocated to the Secretariat then the Secretariat may be able to take actions more effectively and timely. Nevertheless, it is difficult to estimate the benefits that could be derived relative to the costs (the size and management of the contingency fund if established).

Recommendation 19 could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

Financial implications

Recommendation 20 could have “financial implications” to the Member Countries in terms of providing additional cost to hire a legal expert to support certain functions of the Secretariat, especially if the costs of hiring such expert cannot be covered by external funds.

Cost benefit analysis

Member Countries have been confronted with issues related to international treaties and legal instruments that require the countries to comply with.

Although during consultations and workshops, the Member Countries are able to share fisheries related information of relevance to regional and international action and initiatives, including information on legal aspects. When a legal expert is hired and posted at the Secretariat, the Secretariat could be improved to analyze and effectively share information on legal matters based on national legislations as well as international and regional instruments. Although it is difficult to

325

estimate the benefits relative to the costs of hiring a legal expert, it can be assumed that this would be beneficial to SEAFDEC and the Member Countries.

Recommendation 20 could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

**************************************

Financial implications

Recommendation 21 may have “financial implications” to Member Countries in terms of additional contributions in the future to be able to implement activities on cost-sharing basis, by optimizing the existing expertise and facilities of the Departments which might not be fully utilized due to financial constraints within the Departments. However, if additional resources can be generated through the support from other sources and projects as indicated in Recommendation 22, the cost to be incurred could be reduced. Nevertheless, success in soliciting additional external funds to enable the Member Countries to avail of the expertise and facilities at Departments will reduce any potential negative “financial implications”.

Cost benefit analysis

Cost-sharing with Member Countries of the expenses to be incurred in the implementation of activities and projects by SEAFDEC Departments is a common practice. By increasing the present level of cost shared by the Member Countries in the implementation of SEAFDEC activities and

326 The Special Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, 3-4 October 2013

projects, efficient and timely implementation could be attained while ownership of such activities by concerned Member Countries is strengthened. However, the costs and benefits of implementing Recommendation 21 should be viewed in conjunction with Recommendation 22 considering that the availability of additional funds could increase the use of available Department facilities and expertise, while at the same time increase Member Countries’ ownership of the activities and results that emanate from such activities, and enhance the visibility of SEAFDEC and the Departments. Nevertheless, calculating the actual costs and benefits of Recommendations 21 and 22 is difficult as this should be assessed together with options available to each individual Department in soliciting additional funds from external sources. Nonetheless, the following tabulation could provide possible insights in this respect.

Rec 21 and 22 Benefits Costs Optimizing the  Further technology transfer and  Member Countries may allocate more use of exchange of fisheries information funds to be able to avail of the expertise available in the region would be facilitated and facilities available in the expertise and and enhanced for the benefit of Departments in implementing activities facilities in the Member Countries on cost-sharing basis Departments  Facilities in Departments that through remained under-utilized or idle enhanced cost- could be made operational and sharing basis functional again  Ownership of SEAFDEC activities and technologies by Member Countries could be promoted

**************************************

Financial implications

Recommendation 29 could have “financial implications” in terms of additional budget for improving the staff salary and welfare system. However, this could also be subject to management within the Departments based on the annual contributions from respective Host Governments.

Cost benefit analysis

Developing attractive salary scales and improvement of appropriate welfare systems could be means of improving the staff’s initiatives and work performance. It could also provide an opportunity that would enable SEAFDEC to recruit qualified new staff and would allow SEAFDEC to continue to serve the Member Countries and the region in a competitive way to meet present and future challenges.

Recommendation 29 could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

**************************************

Recommendation 33 SEAFDEC in collaboration with the Member Countries should continue to raise the profile of fisheries and aquaculture in the ASEAN, in order to obtain strong support and possible funding from the ASEAN mechanism. Recommendation 34 SEAFDEC should explore the ways and means of contributing to the realization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) targeted in 2015, by developing minimum guidelines for the fisheries and aquaculture sector of the region, and supporting capacity building for the people involved in the sector.

Recommendations 30 to 35 have no direct “financial implications” and could be implemented within the scope of the Agreement Establishing SEAFDEC.

At the 39th Meeting of the Council of SEAFDEC (Siem Reap, Cambodia, 3-7 April 2007), the Post-Harvest Division of the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority (AVA), Singapore was endorsed as a Collaborating Center of SEAFDEC to implement MFRD programs. With effect from 1 April 2010, the Post-Harvest Division was changed to the Post-Harvest Technology Centre (PHTC). As a Collaborating Center of SEAFDEC, the responsibilities of PHTC are: (i) To conduct matters pertaining to the Office of the Chief of MFRD Programs; and (ii) To undertake the activities of MFRD under the SEAFDEC regional programs including those supported by the Japanese Trust Fund.

3. Programs and activities under the Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD) are thus referred to as MFRD Programs, and make up one of the programs under the Post-Harvest Technology Centre of AVA. The facilities and manpower are provided by the Government of Singapore through AVA. With effect from 1 January 2007, AVA maintains the facilities and equipment, and all operating and manpower costs, as a national entity under AVA.

4. At the 40th Meeting of the Council of SEAFDEC (Bali, Indonesia, 7-10 April 2008), the Council noted that as MFRD activities have been implemented by the PHTC of AVA, Singapore, as the Collaborating Center of SEAFDEC, Singapore’s contributions will not be reflected under MFRD in the SEAFDEC financial reports.

5. At the 41st Meeting of the Council of SEAFDEC (Fukuoka, Japan, 7-10 April 2009), the Council approved the request made by the Council Director for Singapore that the accumulated funds from bank interest, gain in exchange rates and miscellaneous incomes under MFRD other fund account, be transferred to the AVA’s account in order to be audited under the normal auditing process of the AVA. This would save the unnecessary cost of a separate audit which is

grossly disproportionate to the expenditure of MFRD. The Council was also assured that such fund would be utilized for MFRD post-harvest programs under SEAFDEC. As a result, the financial report from MFRD will not appear in the SEAFDEC Consolidated Financial Report starting from the year 2009.

6. At the 42nd Meeting of the Council of SEAFDEC (Luang Prabang, Lao PDR, 5-9 April 2010), the Council took note of the request made by the Council Director for Singapore to transfer the assets of MFRD which includes post-harvest equipment and library materials, to AVA. This is to allow AVA to absorb the repair and maintenance costs for these equipment as well as the required accessories under the AVA budget. Furthermore, the Council was assured that although these assets are transferred to the AVA, the equipment and library materials would continue to be used for the activities of MFRD programs under SEAFDEC. The Council supported in- principle the transfer of the assets of MFRD to the AVA of Singapore. With effect from April 2011, all MFRD assets were officially transferred to PHTC/AVA, Singapore.
