EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

SEAFDEC Programs: Funding and Achievements 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 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 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 which was later on changed to Regional Fisheries Policy Network 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 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 and 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 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 , 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.

VI. CONCLUSION:

The Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD) was set up in Singapore in 1969 with the initial task of developing fishing grounds. Developing fisheries post-harvest technology is vital in advancing fisheries development in ASEAN and placing ASEAN fisheries products in the world market. With this as the key direction, MFRD has since the late 1970’s, assumed the responsibilities of promoting, under-taking and co-coordinating research in fisheries post-harvest technology and furthering the development of the fish processing industry in the ASEAN region. Besides research and development, MFRD has transferred technology developed to the region through training programs and the dissemination of information through its regional library services. With effect from April 2007, the Post-Harvest Technology Centre (PHTC), Agri-Food & Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA) served as the SEAFDEC Collaborating Centre for MFRD Programs. MFRD Programs are coordinated by the Chief of MFRD Programs. Resources for implementation of MFRD Programs are deployed by the Director, Post-Harvest Technology Centre (PHTC) and or the Directors of other AVA departments involved according to capacity and resources available. The Appendix 5 of the Annex 2 shows the list of publications from the Achievements of MFRD’s programs since 2003 to 2012.

V. CONCLUSIONS:

Appendix 6 of the Annex 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 SEADEC 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.

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.

Mudcrab and shrimps:Development of techniques for sustainable production of good quality broodstock and seed of indigenous species of shrimps and crabs; As a pre-requisite to selective breeding programs, domestication was pursued through monitoring of the genetic structure of base populations, establishing husbandry techniques, and developing suitable diets for the reproductive and hatchery life stages.

Marine and freshwater fishes: Refinement and verification studies on the seed production techniques of milkfish; rabbitfish; high value marine fish species such as groupers, red snapper and sea bass. In 2007, the development of breeding and seed production technologies for pompano was added as a new activity.

Improvement of broodstock and hatchery management methods for commercial production of bighead carp and native catfish;

Refinement of larval production and grow-out culture methods for freshwater prawn

Breeding and seed production of selected indigenous freshwater fish species (silver therapon, climbing perch, Manila catfish, etc)

Seaweeds: Strain improvement of economically important farmed seaweeds; seed production of Kappaphycus; research was continued to (i) develop ‘new’ and improved varieties of Kappaphycus through tissue culture, sporulation, and protoplast fusion techniques 2012 All commodities: Continuation of several studies to address the research - R&D and development needs associated with the environmental and genetic requisites for better quality seeds. Greater emphasis was given to development and production of high health seed stocks of commercially important commodities. For instance, for shrimps, recent studies include genetic characterization of wild stocks to identify broodstock sources, and for P. monodon in particular, the goalis selection and development of high health stock.

Achievements:

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

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.

SEAFDEC Page 3

Year Achievements Beneficiaries In milkfish, the use of fortified larval diet, as well as emulsion to enrich the ASEAN and rotifer, reduced the incidence of abnormal larvae. SEAFDEC Member Countries 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 Member technology began. During this period, AQD also began offering abalone Countries; hatchery training course to create awareness on the availability of the Philippines 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 Member materials (tanks made of canvas material and supported by bamboos).

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.

SEAFDEC Page 83

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 Good Laboratory Quality Management Practices and Methods Validation, one regional inter-laboratory proficiency testing for heavy metals in which 13 regional laboratories participated, reviewed the MFRD laboratory manual incorporating five new analytical methods into the manual for pesticide and antibiotic residues, chloramphenicol and nitrofuran, and determination of amino acids, and completed validation nine testing methods. The program also initiated methods validation for 11 chemical methods and 6 microbiological methods, preparation of Laboratory Quality Management Manual and implementation of good laboratory practices in the regional laboratories. As at the end of 2005, the lead laboratories in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam have achieved ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.

Achievements: MFRD implemented a program on chemical residues in fish and fish products in Southeast Asia with the focus on capability and capacity building. A total of 8 countries, namely Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, 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,

SEAFDEC Page 87

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 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.

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.

2. Project Title: Information Gathering for Capture Inland Fisheries in ASEAN MCs

Landing from inland capture fisheries are mostly dispersed without any proper fish landing facilities in most ASEAN countries. Although participation in the capture fisheries is relatively high in certain countries, but systematic data collection, compilation and dissemination of data and information are still not available. The lack of information and the need to review and compile inland capture fisheries as basis for the enhancement of sustainable fishery resource management. This project was initiated with the aim of collecting and compiling as much information from capture inland fisheries of Southeast Asian region as possible at selected sites. Information on fisheries, fishing gear and methods, fish species, environmental conditions and socio-economic activities gathered are then compiled and documented.

In the South China Sea, there are many commercially important pelagic fishes for example mackerels, scads, sardines and coastal tunas. Although a number of meetings on pelagic fish resources were held but the information on pelagic fisheries and pelagic fish biology still limited. The program aims to collect information on fisheries of pelagic fish. It focuses on mainly purse seine fishery because that is one of the major fisheries targeting pelagic fishes in the region. The program comprises of three components. Component I is the organizing meetings/ workshops/ trainings for affective program implementation. Component II involves survey of the actual status operation and catches of purse seines fishery and this includes also the biological studies on selected pelagic fish. Component III is the examination on maximizing utilization of pelagic fish.

9. Project Title: Preventing Export of IUU Products

SEAFDEC Page 111

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- The regular surveys provided the most basic figures and data on many Thailand 2002 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. 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 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 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

SEAFDEC Page 129

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.

Activity 2: Encourage CBRM The Fishery Management Plan (FMP) was formulated and the consensus among all stakeholders including industrial fishing fleet owners. The Local Enforcement Center (LEC) was established and functioning. Activity 3: Encourage local business Expansion of the business by women’s group is pursued through diversification of the products and marketing promotion. A training course to produce new products is conducted. A fish processing yard to expand the production capacity is under construction. The proposed site for cage culturing is eventually allocated by LADA. The boat and engine repair workshop is under construction. Activity 4: Encourage HRD Various training courses and workshops were conducted to strengthen the people’s and institutional capacity building. Within the KEN, Fishery Resources Management Committee (FRMC) is established to pursue the CBRM activity. The two neighbouring villages joined the attempt to manage the coastal resources in line with FMP. Activity 5: Fishing gear technology improvement No significant impact was seen in introduction of new and improved fishing methods except collapsible crab trap to some extent and this activity was therefore put in lower priority. Activity 6: Resources enhancement 10 units of ARs were installed by LKIM with the technical consultation of SEAFDEC/TD. The installation of 10 units of FEDs were suspended pending to clarification of the cause of missing FEDs installed in the project of ICRM-PD. The experimental mangrove reforestation was made in association with Draining and Irrigation Department. In the wake of failure in the initial experiment, the remedial measures were sort in collaboration with FRI, Penang. Activity 7: Project evaluation

Activity 2: Encourage CBRM The FMP was formulated and in the final stage of promulgation. The Local Enforcement Center (LEC) was established and manned with 2 enforcement officers from Marine Enforcement Agency (MEA). The crab bank scheme began with the Japanese model. Activity 3: Encourage local business New products were developed. The new fish proceeding yard was completed with more hygienic processing lines. The user-friendly bookkeeping and accounting system was introduced, and thereby the business management skill of KEW is improved. The new mechanical workshop was completed and the business of engine and boat repairing was commenced by KPSP. Activity 4: Encourage HRD Various training courses and workshops were conducted to strengthen people and institutional capacity building. The KPSP was newly formed in place of KEN in a bid to pursue the CBRM approach more intensively. Activity 5: Fishing gear technology improvement Follow-up training was not taken place as this business was rendered to the private sector by KPSP. No significant impact was seen in introduction of new and improved fishing methods except collapsible crab trap. Activity 6: Resources enhancement The training in construction of improved type FED was conducted and thereafter 10 units were fabricated by hands of fishermen. These units were installed in the zoning. The pre-installation marine biological survey and the impact survey were conducted. Activity 7: Project evaluation The terminal project evaluation could not be executed as a relevant outsourced consultant could not be identified with the limited cost. Activity 8: Committee meetings The 5th SC meeting was summoned in March. The 9th and 10th ICC meeting were held in July and October respectively.

Achievements:

WGRFP has fulfilled their roles in providing technical contribution to projects and activities of SEAFDEC, particularly in the preparation and conduct of the “ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the New Millennium (Fish for the People)” in 2001, as well as for the follow-up programs after the Conference. The WGRFP also played vital roles in communicating with their respective country in order to facilitate the preparation for events organized by SEAFDEC, and follow-up on activities undertaken by SEAFDEC in collaboration with Member Countries. They were also involved in the editorial team and provided inputs to the SEAFDEC Special Publication “Fish for the People”, which was published since 2003. The secondment of staff from Member Countries to work at the SEAFDEC Secretariat has enhanced the capacity of fisheries officers of the Member Countries, particularly in familiarizing them with regional/international fisheries-related issues and multi-nationality environment.

Achievements:

The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) was adopted by FAO since 1995 to serve as voluntary code 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

SEAFDEC Page 202

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”.

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.

Beneficiaries: ASEAN Member 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:

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.

Beneficiaries: All ASEAN countries

Achievements:

This project has enhanced the coordination and collaboration among the Japanese Trust Fund projects implemented by SEAFDEC, and improved the evaluation mechanism involving external evaluators in order to improve program planning and implementation to better serve the priority and needs of the Member Countries. The project also supported the involvement of SEAFDEC to other regional fora/initiatives that address issues of common concerns in order to provide technical contribution and be kept well-informed of the issues. In addition, the project supported the Regional Fisheries Policy Network (RFPN) from 3 countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Vietnam) to station at SEAFDEC Secretariat, which enabled them to involve in regional policy issues and activities of SEAFDEC, and enhance their capacity and networking with other countries in the region.
