The primary objectives of USAID SEA Project are to: • Support enhanced conservation and sustainable use of marine resources by reforming fisheries management and promoting marine protected areas to enhance fisheries productivity, food security, and sustainable livelihoods within the target areas; and • Support strengthening of the leadership role and capacity of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) and local governments to promote conservation and sustainable fishing. In order to develop an integrated and appropriate intervention plans at all levels; national, provincial, and community levels, consultation and insight on the current status of fishery and coastal managements are critical. Several consultations at national and provincial levels had been conducted. An FGD conducted in May 2016 suggested three (3) districts as potential USAID SEA Project areas: West Seram, Central Maluku and East Seram Districts, and Ambon. Work plans had also developed based on the consultation conducted. This report presents a fieldwork of a scoping assessment at community level to fill the gaps of understanding and insights captured in national and provincial level consultations. The objectives of this fieldwork include: 1. To coordinate and consult workplan developed and potential project sites of USAID SEA Project 2. To assess and identify the current status and capabilities of the stakeholders in fishery and marine resources management. 3. To identify villages potential for USAID SEA Project intervention and how the interventions of different activities can be integrated to ensure an effective implementation and maximum outcome. 4. To identify possible partners (stakeholders) that can actively engage in fishery and coastal resources managements. 2. METHODOLOGY AND ACTIVITIES USAID SEA Project team had conducted a fieldtrip to Maluku Province from August 28 to September 7, 2016. The USAID SEA team was accompanied by a staff from Ambon fishing port. Initially staff of WWF and CTC planned to participate in the trip, but cancelled. The trip included visits to the three targeted districts of USAID SEA Project potential areas: West Seram, Central Maluku and East Seram Districts. This scoping trip deployed qualitative approach using consultative and in-depth interviews covering different levels of stakeholders. This includes government officers from related agencies including district level fishery agencies, extension service, fishing ports, and sub- district offices. In addition, the SEA Core team interviewed head of communities; fish traders and processors, and fishing families at the village level. Around 12 fishing villages were visited during the fieldwork.

SOCIO-ECONOMICS BENEFITS OF MALUKU CAPTURE FISHERIES Fishery statistics reported 15 primary commodities (Table 1) and skipjack is the biggest volume of species caught with a 10.55% of the total harvest. The report also suggested that small-pelagic fisheries is also an important fishery covering various species. For demersal fishery, red-snapper was included within the 15 primary commodities landed in Maluku Province.

The 2016 Statistics of Maluku Province reported that fisheries sector together with agricultural and forestry sector contributes 23.79% of the total Maluku Province Gross Domestic Regional Product, the biggest contributor compared to other sectors. This socio-economics role is also reflected by large number of people involved in fishing activities (Table 3.1.1). Using the number of fishers and the latest population census conduced for Maluku Province, this study calculated that 16% of the population engage in fishing activities; both as full-time and part- time fishers. This figure reflects the important role of fishery for local livelihoods. If the benefits include spill-over activities along the capture fishery supply chains (collecting- processing-trading), the number of people benefits from the capture fishery sector may be significantly higher than the reported data. Also, the sector provides income opportunities for women. West Seram, East Seram, and part of Central Seram Districts fall under 715 FMA in the Maluku Province. In total, these districts are home of 95,551 fishers involved as full-timers and part-timers (Table 3.1.1). Vast majority of them are fishers with < 10GT fishing vessels (Table 3.1.2) Technical Report: Fisheries Scoping Trip, Maluku.
