1. Introduction

A Letter of Agreement (LOA) signed between the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Development (MFARD) and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations required MFARD to conduct a “Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab in the Northwest and Northern coast of Sri Lanka and development of a management plan”. This activity was conducted under the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem (BOBLME) Project funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) - GCP/RAS/236/GEF; Norway – GCP/RAS/246/NOR and Sweden – GCP/RAS/248/SWE and implemented under FAO. Under the LOA, FAO has pledged MFARD a total amount not exceeding SLR 2,427,150 (Sri Lankan Rupees two million four hundred twenty seven thousand and one hundred fifty) for the implementation of agreed activities. This is in line with the BOBLME Project’s major objectives to promote biodiversity conservation and fisheries resources management, with a particular focus on the wider Gulf of Mannar transboundary region. The overall objective of the Agreement is to establish a mechanism for the management of the Sri Lankan blue swimming crab fishery and enhance awareness within the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DFAR), fishing communities and other stakeholders on the application of Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) plan development leading to sustainable management of the blue swimming crab resources. One of the specific outputs to be produced under the LOA included the provision of a technical report on the survey of Sri Lanka Blue Swimming Crab (SLBSC) fishery, including a description of the survey methodology, data collection and analysis protocols, and results. The following major activities have been agreed under the LOA to fulfill this specific output:  Formulate fishing effort survey methodology, data collection and analysis  Training of fisheries field officers in fishing effort survey methodology  Conduct the fishing effort survey in four districts  Conduct workshops on the fishing effort survey with fishing communities and the seafood industry  Formulate a draft blue swimming crab fisheries management plan applying the ecosystem approach to fisheries management

The above activities have been implemented by DFAR except that only the framework of the management plan could be developed, and the results are reported herein.

2. Frame survey of the blue swimming crab fishery

As reported in the inception report, targeted fisheries for blue swimming crab take place in Puttalam and Mannar districts of the Northwest Province and Kilinochchi and Jaffna districts of the Northern Province. Fishing is conducted year round, using non-motorized and motorized traditional crafts such as canoes (oru and vallams), log rafts (theppams and kattumarams) and 6-7 m fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) boats. Motorized traditional crafts and FRP boats are powered by outboard motor (OBM) engines of 8 to 15 hp. Bottom-set gillnet is the main gear used in the BSC fishery while use of traps is also reported from some areas. Each boat may carry 10 to 20 net pieces (panels) of bottom-set gillnets of 3 ½” to 6” mesh made of monofilament or nylon (2-6 ply). A standard net piece or a panel is 40 meshes in height and 1,500 meshes in length. Nets are reportedly laid at depths of 2 to 5 m at a distance 2 to 15 km from the shore. Nets are usually laid in the evening and hauled after 10-12 hours.

1 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

A rapid assessment (frame survey) of the BSC fishery conducted by DFAR in these four districts has provided the baseline to plan and conduct the fishing effort survey. For administrative purposes, each fisheries district is divided into a number of Fisheries Inspector (FI) divisions and each FI division may include a few fishing villages and landing centres which could include fishery harbours, anchorages or beach landing centres. The traditional crafts and FRP boats involved in BSC fishery are all pulled up at beach landing centres. Hence, the rapid assessment was confined to all beach landing centres (BLC) in the four districts. The rapid assessment indicated that over 4,000 fishers and over 2,000 boats are involved in the BSC fishery in the four districts (Appendix I).

3. Fishing effort survey

3.1. Survey questionnaires The draft questionnaires developed by the DFAR project staff for the fishing effort survey were finalized by the local consultant in consultation with the senior project staff and the FIP consultant. The survey covered only the landing centres and boats involved in targeted blue swimming crab fisheries identified during the frame survey. Two questionnaires were used during the survey. The first questionnaire focused on the landing centre while the second questionnaire focused solely on blue swimming crab fishing vessels. The landing centre survey provided data/information on the number of fishers operating from the landing centre, the number and type of boats and the type of infrastructure facilities available. In addition, information was also obtained on the fisheries organizations (CBOs) active in each landing centre. A series of questions directed at blue swimming crab fishers in the landing centre helped to obtain general information on trends in the blue swimming crab fishery, factors causing changes (if any) and fishers’ perceptions on what needs to be done to improve the fishery. The landing centre survey questionnaire is given in Appendix II. The questionnaire was accompanied by a set of guidelines on how to administer it in the field. The blue swimming crab fishing vessel survey questionnaire was administered only to boats involved in targeted BSC fisheries. It generated data/information on the total number of boats and fishers involved in BSC fishing, number and type of fishing boats used, type and quantity of fishing gear used, fishing areas and fishing depth, fishing seasons and disposal (marketing) of the catch. The questionnaire used during the survey is given in Appendix III along with a set of guidelines on completing it.

3.2. Training for fishing effort survey Two training workshops were held for field officers selected to carry out the survey. The workshop held on 13 June 2015 at the district fisheries office of Mannar was attended by field officers from Puttalam and Mannar districts while the training workshop held on 14 June 2015 at the district fisheries office of Jaffna was attended by field officers from Jaffna and Kilinochchi districts. In addition to the selected field officers, the Assistant Directors of the four districts, senior project management staff from DFAR head office (Project Leader and two Technical Team members) and the local consultant also participated in these workshops. The list of participants is given in Appendix IV (a) and IV (b). The Director General of DFAR who is also the Project Leader inaugurated each workshop and explained the objective behind the survey and requested the field data collectors to complete the survey on time. The four Assistant Directors in charge of the district fisheries offices were entrusted with monitoring and supervision of field data collection and verification of the completed data forms.

2 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

Using a PowerPoint presentation of the questionnaires, the local consultant explained what the data collectors needed to fill under each question and how data/information needs to be extracted from the fishers and boat owners. The set of guidelines provided in respect of each questionnaire were also explained in detail. The presentation was followed up by a discussion which provided an opportunity for the consultant and project staff to provide clarifications sought by the field data collectors as well as additional information relevant to the survey.

3.3. Fishing effort survey methodology At the end of each training workshop, data collectors of each district were assigned specific landing centres to be covered during the survey, on the basis that the workload in any district is equally shared between the data collectors of that district to ensure completion of survey on time. A total of 16 field data collectors were assigned for the survey – five in Puttalam, three in Mannar, four in Jaffna and four in Kilinochchi districts. Data obtained through the rapid assessment and presented in Appendix I was used in this exercise. Landing centres assigned to data collectors in each district are given in Appendix V (a) for Puttalam, Appendix V (b) for Mannar, Appendix V (c) for Kilinochchi and Appendix V (d) for Jaffna. Field data collection commenced on 15 June and was completed by 27 June 2015. In addition to monitoring and supervision of the field survey by the district Assistant Directors, two members of the project staff – one Technical Team member (Deputy Director/Management) and one Technical Assistant (District Fisheries Inspector) made a three day field monitoring and supervision visit during 20 to 22 June 2015. They inspected field data collection at few landing centres and also conducted verification of completed questionnaires at district offices jointly with all field data collectors and the Assistant Director of each district.

4. Survey results

4.1. Landing centre survey The landing centre survey results revealed that targeted BSC fisheries take place from a total of 77 landing sites located within 20 Fishery Inspector (FI) divisions in the four districts. This included 36 landing sites located within seven FI divisions in Puttalam district; 17 landing sites located within four FI divisions in Mannar district; five landing sites located within two FI divisions in Kilinochchi district and 19 landing sites located within seven FI divisions in Jaffna district (Table 1).

None of the landing sites had all types of infrastructure and public utilities listed above. Nearly 30% of the landing sites have no proper access road. In terms of fishery related infrastructure, 75% of the landing sites have no net mending/storage facilities; nearly 65% of the sites have no paved/tiled auction halls or marketing facilities and nearly 95% of the sites have no cold storage/ice facilities. Potable water is available at only 39% of the landing sites while electricity is available at only 63% of the landing sites. Detailed information regarding availability of infrastructure and public utilities at each landing site is given in Appendix VIII (a) for Puttalam district; Appendix VIII (b) for Mannar district; Appendix VIII (c) for Kilinochchi district and Appendix VIII (d) for Jaffna district. Information provided in regard to fisher organizations active at these landing sites and contact details of key office bearers is provided in Appendix IX (a) for Puttalam district; Appendix IX (b) for Mannar district; Appendix IX (c) for Kilinochchi district and Appendix IX (d) for Jaffna district.

4.2. Blue swimming crab fishing vessel survey A total of 1,750 persons own boats engaged in targeted blue swimming crab fishing in the four districts. The distribution of these boat owners by district is given in Table 5.

Motorized vessels (powered by outboard motor engines) make up 81% of the fishing fleet and have an extended fishing range compared to the non-motorized traditional crafts. The OFRP boats make up nearly 70% of the BSC fishing fleet and 24% of the OFRP fleet is powered by outboard motor engines 15 hp and over. Landing-site and FI division-wise distribution of the number and type of BSC vessels are given in Appendix XI (a) for Puttalam district; Appendix XI (b) for Mannar district; Appendix XI (c) for Kilinochchi district and Appendix XI (d) for Jaffna district. Available information from 98.9% of the boats on the number and type of fishing gear units taken by different types of boats in each district is summarized in Table 7. Except for a few traps operated by NTRB Vallams in Mannar, the bottom-set gillnet (GNBS) is the only other gear used in the blue swimming crab fishery. 4.2.1. Characteristics of bottom-set gillnets used in BSC fishery Information provided on the characteristics of the bottom-set gillnets used in the BSC fishery in the four districts by all boat types have been pooled to obtain the following:  Although close to 70% of the nets are made of nylon, nearly 28% of the nets are made of monofilament which is banned in Sri Lanka (Table 8). Some boats use Indian HDPE nets purchased from Indian fishing boats that operate in Sri Lankan waters.

 A standard net piece or a panel is 40 meshes in height and 1,500 meshes in length. Nets are often cut into two halves (and used as two panels) so that each half is 20 meshes high and 1,500 meshes long. The number of such panels in a single net shows much variation from 3 to 5 panels per net to over 36 panels per net (Table 11). In Mannar and Jaffna districts, nets with less than 10 panels are found mostly in non-motorized crafts while motorized crafts carry nets of over 20 panels. In Kilinochchi too where over 97% of the BSC boats are motorized, majority of the nets carry over 20 panels. Such trends are not apparent in Puttalam district.

Some boats are reported to carry more than one set of GNBS when the boats go out fishing – the one belonging to the boat owner and additional sets belonging to others who do not own boats. Data available from 1,766 boats (96% of the BSC fishing fleet) show that 1,516 boats or 86% of the BSC fishing fleet carry only one net set (Table 12). A total of 247 boats or 16% of the BSC fishing fleet carry two net sets on board. Three boats are reported to carry three net sets on board.

Thus, the 1,766 boats for which data is available carry a total of 2,019 net sets for BSC fishing. Extrapolating to the total BSC fleet of 1,822 boats engaged in BSC fishing using GNBS (excluding the seven NTRB Vallams in Mannar that use traps), the total number of GNBS nets deployed for BSC fishing in the four districts would be 2,083. 4.2.2. Bottom-set gillnet operations targeting blue swimming crab All bottom-set gillnets as well as the few traps are operated at the bottom of the sea or the lagoon (Table 13).

Overall, 14% of the boats fish in waters less than 3 km from the shore; 40% of the boats fish in waters 3 to 6 km from the shore; 22% of the boats fish in waters 6 to 10 km from the shore and 23% of the boats fish in waters beyond 10 km from the shore. While 87% of the non-motorized traditional crafts have a fishing range up to 6 km from the shore, 50% of the motorized traditional crafts operate in waters beyond 6 km from the shore; with 32% of the boats fishing in waters 10 km away from the shore. A large majority of the OFRP boats (94%) operate in waters 3 km away from the shore; with 42% operating in waters 3 to 6 km from the shore and 52% operating in waters 6 km away from the shore. Details of fishing area by boat type for each district are given in Appendix XII. Over 65% of the bottom-set gillnets are kept 8 to 12 hours in water (Table 15). A small amount of nets (18%) are reported to be kept continuously in water with fishers visiting the nets daily to retrieve the crabs entangles in the nets.

4.3. Fishing season and production trends Fishing is conducted during all months of the year in all 4 districts. Periods of high and low catches in the four districts are summarized in Table 16. In almost all areas BSC fishing by all types of boats is conducted from Sunday night through to Friday night (no fishing on Saturday night). There is also no fishing on full moon days and on days of religious and cultural importance. High winds and 'drifting' sea grass can also reduce fishing days during the monsoons. In estimating fish production by Sri Lankan coastal boats, the statistical unit of MFARD assumes a total of 22 fishing days per month for all boat types. Table 16 Seasonal trends in blue swimming crab production District High production Low production Puttalam April-July January-March August-December Mannar April-July January-March August-December Kilinochchi April to August January-March September-December Jaffna November to April May-October

No catch data were collected from individual boats during the survey. However, according to Dr Steve Creech of the BSC Fishery Improvement project initiated by the Seafood Exporter’s Association of Sri Lanka, data collected from Mannar this year for 36 trips gave a total catch of 422 kg, average 11.73 kg per trip, ranging from 1.5 kg to 64 kg per trip.

4.4. Marketing arrangements Blue swimming crabs are sold direct to exporters or their agents; or auctioned via fishermen’s societies. Information available in regard to the marketing strategy adopted by owners of 1,767 boats show that over 78% of the crabs are sold direct to exporters or their agents and 21% are auctioned (Table 17).

Jaffna Direct to agent/ 01 01 exporter Auction via 35 75 258 368 society

Exporters or their agents buy all blue swimming crab produced in Puttalam and Kilinochchi districts. Auctions take place mainly in Jaffna. It is reported that blue swimming crab auctioned in Jaffna too are purchased by a company that supply to exporters. Supply chain - Alpex Marine, Ceylon Foods, North Western, P N Fernando, Prawn Ceylon and Taprobane Seafood are the five principal seafood companies engaged in purchasing BSC, either directly from fishermen and boat owners or indirectly through local traders (Table 18). Another four or five smaller companies, together with perhaps 10 to 20 individual small scale exporters, also purchase SLBSC for export, from the four districts covered by the assessment. Table 18 SLBSC supply chain District Supply chain Crab product PUT MAN KIL JAF Seafood company Alpex Marine X X X X Local traders Fresh & frozen Ceylon Foods X X X Local traders Fresh & frozen North Western X X X Local traders Fresh & frozen P N Fernando X X Direct Fresh & frozen Prawn Ceylon X X X X Direct Fresh & frozen Tabrobane Seafood X X X X Local traders Fresh, frozen & canned Lotex Marine Resources X Direct?

Out of the five leading BSC exporting seafood companies, only one has established processing centres in the Northern Province. Taprobane Seafood operates two processing centres, one in Mannar district and one in Jaffna district. Taprobane Seafood is also currently the private sector partner of crab processing centre owned by Irainamadanagar FCS in Kilinochchi district. All four of the other leading SLBSC exporting seafood companies transport BSC from the north to processing centre in Puttalam (North Western Province) or Gampaha District (Western Province). Crab products: BSC are exported by seafood companies as fresh, frozen and canned products. Fresh crab is either exported as ‘head on’ or ‘cut crab’ products. Cut crabs are processed by removing the top shell, guts and gills. The cut crab is then brushed clean and cut into two sections. The majority of fresh crabs exported are male, because only the male BSC is blue. Fresh crabs are exported on ice at temperatures ranging from 0°C to 5°C. Fresh crab has a shelf life of a few days. All exported frozen crab is cut crab. Frozen crabs are frozen to – 40°C and packed in 1 lb boxes and 12 lb cartons.

13 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

Canned crab is a pasteurized product that involves picking the meat from boiled crabs. In contrast to both fresh and frozen crab products, only live BSC (both male and female) are purchased by the single seafood company exporting canned crab products. Live crabs are boiled in village ‘cooking stations’ and allow to cool, before being transported to processing factories. Crab meat is graded according to type and size. Grades include colossal, jumbo, B jumbo, flower, lump, special, claw, B claw and finger. Canned crab products include ‘fancy’, ‘special’, ‘jumbo lump’, ‘back fin’ ‘lump’ ‘white’ and ‘claw’.

5. Trends in the blue swimming crab fishery

The questionnaire administered to obtain data/information on landing centres (landing centre survey) also included a series of questions directed at blue swimming crab fishers in the landing centres to obtain general information on trends in the blue swimming crab fishery during the last five years; factors causing changes (if any) and fishers perceptions on what needs to be done to improve the fishery. Landing-site wise responses to the questions are given in Appendix XIII (a) for Puttalam, Appendix XIII (b) for Mannar, Appendix XIII (c) for Kilinochchi and Appendix XIII (d) for Jaffna districts. While all BSC fishing operations reported from Puttalam district takes place within the Gulf of Mannar, fishing operations reported from landing centres and FI divisions in Mannar, Kilinochchi and Jaffna districts takes place within the Palk Bay/Bay of Bengal area (Fig. 2). Based on information provided by fishers, the following qualitative data analysis has been undertaken separately for BSC fisheries conducted within the Gulf of Mannar and Bay of Bengal regions. While the Gulf of Mannar area includes response from fishers spread over 36 landing centres in Puttalam district, the Bay of Bengal area has responses from fishers spread over a total of 41 landing centres (17 from Mannar, 5 from Kilinochchi and 19 from Jaffna district).

14 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

Q1) What have been the main changes in the blue swimming crab fishery at this landing centre over the past five years? Gulf of Mannar - Two thirds of the fishers in the Gulf of Mannar (fishers from 23 out of a total of 36 landing centres) have reported signs of decreasing BSC resources (stocks/populations) as evidenced by low catches (67%) and decrease in the number of large sized crabs caught (32%) over the last five years. One fifth of the landing centres reported no change in the BSC fishery over the past five years (19%), while three landing centres (Ibanbatuta, Anakuttiya and Sewvantivu) associated with the BSC fishery in Puttalam lagoon have reported a gradual increases in the fishery. Bay of Bengal – Overall, a decline in the fishery is reported from 51% of the landing centres. District-wise, this decline is heavy (88%) in Jaffna and Kilinochchi districts. All 17 landing centres in Mannar reported a year round BSC fishery catalyzed by high demand and good prices on offer but no information is available in regard to the trends in the fishery over the last five years. An increasing trend in BSC catches over the past five years is reported from two landing centres in Jaffna (Thampaddy and Melinchimunai in Kayts FI division) and one in Kilinochchi (Valai Padu in Nachikuda FI division).

Q2) What are the causes of these changes? Gulf of Mannar – The decline in the BSC fishery as reported from 64% of the landing centres is attributed to a variety of factors. The effects of climate changes or climate change were the main reason given for the decline in the fishery over the past 5 years (45%). With increasing demand and good prices on offer, fishing intensity seems to have increased. Thus, an increase in the number of boats and fishers contributing to overfishing (30%) was the next key reason given, followed by market forces – high demand and good prices (15%) and the harvesting of small sized crabs and illegal fishing. Bay of Bengal - In Jaffna and Kilinochchi districts the causes of the general decline in the BSC fishery over the past five years was attributed to illegal fishing (79%), Indian trawlers (25%) and trawling in general (13%). Overfishing was thought to be a contributing factor in 6 landing centres (19%) and climate change or changes due to the climate were highlighted as reasons in Kilinochchi (13%). In Jaffna 2% of landing centres felt that Fyke nets (Kattu del) were a reason for declining BSC harvests as these nets were alleged to catch large numbers of juvenile BSC. In Mannar district the switch from part time (seasonal) to full time crab fishing was attributed to the high market demand (export) for BSC (100%). High market demand and good prices have encouraged fishermen to take up BSC fishing all year round. The reported increased growth and BSC catches from the two landing centres in Jaffna is attributed to increased fishing due to returning IDPS (Internally Displaced People) while the use of monofilament nets has resulted in increased BSC catches at one landing centre in Kilinochchi.

Q3) How and who (which companies) do fishermen sell their crabs to at the landing centre – collectors, agents, companies Information provided on how and to whom (which companies) fishermen sell their crabs at the landing centres (collectors, agents, companies) show much variation. Exporting companies have been identified by name at only few landing centres.

15 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

Gulf of Mannar - 100% of BSC from the Gulf of Mannar fishery are purchased by agents (21% of landing centres) or collectors (100% of landing centres). Bay of Bengal - Close to 100% of BSC from the Bay of Bengal fishery are purchased by Annai Seafood or agents. Taprobane Seafood (21%) and Alpex Marine (8%) are the only two companies involved in direct purchasing of BSC from fishermen. One landing centre in Kayts (Eluvaithivu) auctions BSC.

Q4) What are the important things blue swimming crab fishermen at the landing centre need to do to ‘improve’ the fishery? Gulf of Mannar - Availability of low cost fishing gear through credit/subsidy (40%) and infrastructure development of the beach landing centres (roads, electricity, storage and net mending facilities, etc. - 36%) were the two main suggestions of BSC fishermen in Puttalam district to improve the fishery. A small number of landing centres (12%) suggested resource related improvements such as stocking of juvenile crabs and protecting BSC during the breeding season. Another 12% of the suggestions were related to marketing (fixed prices, improved marketing facilities). Bay of Bengal – Suggestions to improve infrastructure facilities and services at boat landing centres – storage, water, transport, etc. (15%) and marketing (8%) originated mainly from landing centres in Jaffna and Kilinochchi. 14% of landing centre also recommended technological improvements in fishing gear and provision of more boats and gear. Suggestions to improve the BSC resources included introduction of a BSC harvesting schedule and closed seasons (45%). These originated mainly from Mannar district. Other management interventions included action against illegal fishing activities and introduction of a permit system (18%).

Q5) What external factors (beyond the control of the blue swimming crab fishermen at the landing centre) that affect the blue swimming crab fishery and what needs to be done to reduce the impact of each factor? Gulf of Mannar - 60% of landing centres ranked high cost of fishing gear linked with fishermen’s reliance on informal credit and indebtedness as the main external factor affecting the fishery, while 40% of the landing centres perceived trawling as the second most important external factor affecting the fishery. Other issues which were largely internal factors included continued use of prohibited gear (monofilament nets), year round fishing for BSC (i.e., the need for a closed season), overfishing and marketing strategies that provide low prices for BSC fishers. Bay of Bengal - Markets and marketing issues were the key external factor affecting the fishery – 100% in Mannar and 55% in the Northern Province (Kilinochchi and Jaffna). The climate and or climate change was the second highest ranked external factor in 37% of the landing centres in all three districts within the Bay of Bengal area. One or two landing centres have identified harvesting of mature female BSC and prawn cages as an external factor affecting the fishery. Proposed interventions – Only a few interventions have been proposed. In order to combat illegal fishing as well as year round fishing, 36% of the landing centres in Gulf of Mannar have proposed action against prohibited/illegal methods, measures to conserve resources such as a limit/ban on fishing during spawning season and restriction of year round fishing. Fishers at one landing centre in Kilinochchi have proposed a ban on capture of female BSC.

16 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

Two landing centres in Kilinochchi and Jaffna have proposed government or fisher organization intervention to ensure that fishers obtain a reasonable and fair price from the exporters.

6. Fishing effort survey and EAFM workshops in North and Northwest

Two workshops were held in the North (Jaffna on 28th September) and Northwest (Puttalam on 29th September) to share the results of the blue swimming crab fishing effort survey and to initiate planning of EAFM for the BSC fishery. The workshop in Jaffna was attended by senior project staff from DFAR head office in Colombo and, BSC boat owners, fishers and fisheries officers involved in the survey from Mannar, Kilinochchi and Jaffna districts. The workshop in Puttalam was attended by senior project staff from DFAR head office in Colombo and, BSC boat owners, fishers and fisheries officers involved in the survey from Puttalam district. The list of participants for the North and Northwest workshops are given in Appendix XIV (a) and Appendix XIV (b) respectively. Both workshops followed more or less the same agenda. The welcome address at the Jaffna workshop was made by the Assistant Director of Fisheries/Jaffna. During his address, the DG/DFAR noted that the survey recently conducted by DFAR was the first attempt to study the BSC fishery in Sri Lanka. The survey supported by BOBLME Project has provided data and information on fishers, fishing boats and fishing gear, etc. With increasing export demand and high prices on offer, there is a need to conserve the resources to ensure a sustainable fishery. He advised the fishers not to use illegal fishing gear and also refrain from taking juvenile crabs. Observing that production data are not available for the BSC fishery, he requested cooperation from fishers and boat owners in providing the required data and information. He pledged DFAR support in preparing and implementing a management plan for the fishery. The results of the fishing effort survey were presented by DFAR consultant as a PowerPoint presentation, separately for the three districts. Key data/information collected via the landing centre survey (fisher profile, fishing fleet, infrastructure and fisher organizations at BSC landing sites) and the blue swimming crab fishing vessel survey (details of boat owners, fishing fleet, fishing gear, fishing operations and marketing arrangements) were shared with the fishers and fisheries officials. The workshop also enabled DFAR to clarify few issues related to incomplete and/or incorrect data/information provided during the survey. A PowerPoint presentation on the basic principles in ecosystem approach to fisheries management was made by Dr Sevvandi Jayakody, the BOBLME consultant. The EAFM was presented as a way of implementing sustainable development that promotes balancing ecological well-being (healthy habitats, food-webs and sustainable fishing) with human well-being (increased & equitable wealth, food security and sustainable livelihoods) through good governance (effective institutions and arrangements for setting and implementing rules and regulations). Following introduction to the concept of EAFM, Dr Jayakody divided the workshop participants into groups (three in Jaffna to represent the three districts of Mannar, Kilinochchi and Jaffna) and two in Puttalam. In the first group exercise, each group was requested to identify and record major threats that they perceive as affecting the BSC fishery. The second exercise involved the groups identifying the stakeholders they think are necessary for the management of the BSC fishery. During the third exercise, groups were requested to identify what actions need to be taken for a sustainably managed BSC fishery. At the end of each exercise, a representative from each group reported on the results of the group work at a plenary session. These group exercises provided basic information relevant for the preparation of an EAFM based management plan for the BSC fishery, details of which are given in the report submitted by Dr Jayakody. The three major goals/objective identified and agreed were:

17 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

1. Enhanced catch and gear management regulations and their implementation with community participation 2. Improved scientific knowledge on BSC and their living environment supporting scientifically backed decisions 3. Increased corporation between governmental institutions as well as between India and Sri Lanka allowing shared stock management and benefit sharing

7. Fishing effort survey and EAFM workshop for Seafood Companies and other stakeholders

7.1. Survey results The workshop to share the results of the fishing effort survey with representatives of the seafood companies involved in the export of BSC was held on 23rd October at the conference room of the DFAR in Colombo. Participants included representatives of agencies mandated with development and management of coastal and marine aquatic resources and controlling agencies mandated with conservation of the coastal environment. A total of 48 participated in the workshop and the attendance list is given in Appendix XV. During his welcome and introductory address, the Director General of DFAR informed that the fishing effort survey completed by his staff has generated data and information on the BSC fishery which were not available earlier. He stressed the need and importance of using the survey data to develop a comprehensive management plan for a sustainable fishery without harming the resources. Towards this end, all relevant stakeholders have been invited and the DG invited inputs from all participants to develop a management plan that would satisfy all stakeholders. The results of the fishing effort survey were presented by DFAR consultant Mr Leslie Joseph. A PowerPoint presentation was made summarizing data and information from the four districts on the landing sites survey covering landing sites that support targeted BSC fisheries (profile of fishers, profile of the fishing fleet, infrastructure facilities at landing sites and fisher organizations active at these landing sites) and the fishing vessel survey focusing on vessels involved in targeted BSC fisheries (profile of BSC boat owners, profile of the fishing fleet, fishing gear type, quantity and characteristics, fishing area, fishing depth and fishing duration and marketing arrangements). In the absence of a monitoring programme, Mr Joseph mentioned that no BSC production data is available from the four districts. Export data that can be obtained from the Sri Lanka Customs lump all crabs together (BSC and mud crabs). He therefore requested representatives of seafood export companies to provide DFAR with, if not for the most recent year at least 2 to 3 year old data of BSC purchase from fishers/agents from these four districts. Dr Steve Creech undertook to coordinate with export companies and obtain the relevant data.

7.2. Ecosystem approach to managing BSC fishery During her presentation, Dr Sevvandi Jayakody explained why it is necessary to adopt an ecosystem approach to fisheries management. Her presentation was identical to the one she presented at the two regional workshops in September. In order to obtain inputs into the draft management plan, Dr Jayakody had the participants separated into three groups and each group was requested to identify five main threats to the BSC fishery. Threats identified by the three groups are presented below:

18 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

Table 19 Threats identified by stakeholders Group 1 Group 2 Group 3 Bottom trawling Bottom trawling by Indian and Indian trawlers and country Sri Lankan boats boats Catching of juvenile and Use of destructive (collapsible) Sri Lankan trawlers immature crabs traps Overfishing using small mesh Use of monofilament nets Use of banned monofilament nets nets Catching of gravid female Use of small mesh nets leading Catching of gravid female crabs crabs to catching of undersized crabs Lack of awareness on Threats from illegal fishing Absence of regulations on BSC conservation of resources gear

During discussions that followed, participants agreed on the five most serious threats and the causes behind these threats; as summarized below: 1. Threat from Indian and Sri Lankan trawlers was accepted as the most serious threat which require intervention of all relevant parties 2. The continued use of banned monofilament nets is due to lack of enforcement of existing regulations 3. Use of small mesh nets is blamed for the catching of juvenile crabs 4. Catching egg bearing crabs due to lack of scientific knowledge on the reproductive biology of the crab 5. Absence of data on population and catches of BSC

Dr Jayakody listed the following threats identified by the BSC fishers during the field workshops held on 27 September in Jaffna and 28 September 2015 in Puttalam and pointed out that some of the threats are identical to those identified by the exporters and other stakeholders. 1. Threat from Indian trawlers 2. Lack of infrastructure 3. Use of monofilament nets 4. Pollution (e.g. Puttalam lagoon) 5. Impact of middlemen in marketing 6. Increasing fishing pressure due to open access 7. Increased marketing of immature crabs

Stakeholders for EAFM of the BSC fishery - The three working groups also attempted to identify stakeholders who should participate in managing the BSC fishery adopting an ecosystem approach. Consensus was reached that the following stakeholders should be involved:

19 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

Table 20 Stakeholders for EAFM of the BSC fishery Local administrative authority District Secretary/Divisional Secretaries Fishing community BSC fishers (representatives) Fisheries development agencies MFARD/DFAR Marketing and export Exporters/agents/local market buyers Research NARA/universities

Inputs for the management plan - Participants were also requested to provide inputs to the BSC fishery management plan, both short term and long term. The following were proposed: 1. Increased legal action against Indian trawlers and such action to be taken under the Fisheries Act and not under the Immigration Act as happens now. 2. People and civil society to make EU aware of the IUU fishing activities by Indian trawlers in Sri Lankan waters. 3. Mobilizing the Sri Lanka Navy to arrest local boats using monofilament nets in fishing activities and smuggling of monofilament nets into Sri Lanka via Indian boats. 4. Promote scientific studies on biology and population structure of BSC, mesh size studies, etc. 5. Work through the Fishery Improvement project to influence fishers to voluntarily use large mesh nets in the BSC fishery. 6. Introduce a mechanism to collect catch data from the BSC fishery. 7. Standardize purchase of BSC by exporters (size at processing stage).

A long term plan to establish a BSC hatchery was not considered tenable in view of the high expenditure, high mortality and technical difficulties involved.

7.3. Legal and institutional arrangements for Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management in Sri Lanka Ms Kumari Vithana, Legal Officer of DFAR made a presentation on the existing legal and institutional arrangements in Sri Lanka in support of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management. Her presentation is summarized below: Fisheries Management Area - Under the provisions of the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Act, No.2 of 1996, the Minister can designate prescribed areas of Sri Lanka waters as Fisheries Management Areas. Fisheries Committee/s - Registered fishermen (resident and migrant) fishing in a Fisheries Management Area can form Fisheries Committee/s (maximum 12 committees for one Fisheries Management Area). According to the Fisheries Committee Regulations, 1997 which governs the setting up and operation of Fisheries Committees:  At least 51% of registered fishermen are required to form a Fisheries Committee or committees in a Fishery Management Area.  Migrant fishermen fishing in a Fishery Management Area can also become members of the Fisheries Committee of that area.

Under the Fisheries (register) Regulations, 1997 every fisherman (resident or migrant) fishing in a Fishery Management Area must have his name included in a Register of Fishermen prepared for

20 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan that area. The Register of Fishermen should be prepared by the field officers of DFAR and approved by the DG/DFAR. It should be regularly updated by the Fisheries Committee. A Fisheries Committee can assist its members to get boats/gear and equipment, conduct welfare activities targeting its members and any other activity with the approval of DG/DFAR. It can also acquire and/or dispose of property, enter into contracts and can formulate and implement a fisheries program for the area. Fisheries Management Authority – The Minister may designate the Fisheries Committee/s established in respect of any Fisheries Management Area as the Fisheries Management Authority of that area. The authority can advise the Minister on the conduct of fishing operations and use of fishing gear in the management area, establishment of closed seasons for fishing and/or taking of specified species and, time during which fish may be taken. The amendments made to the Fisheries Act in 2013 to broad base fisheries co-management seek to establish collaboration between Government, fishers and other stakeholders; establish and empower local level institutions and; establishing partnership arrangements between government and the local community and resource users. Under the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Amendment) Act, No. 35 of 2013, the Fisheries Management Authority has been replaced by a Fisheries Management Coordinating Committee. A Fisheries Management Coordinating Committee may comprise of fishers (representatives of Fisheries Committees - maximum 12); local level representatives of DFAR - maximum 03; Provincial Director of Fisheries; representatives of local civil administration (District Secretary/Divisional Secretaries); local political authority (Chairman of Pradeshiya Sabha/Mayor of Municipal Council/Chairman of Urban Council); agencies mandated with development and management of coastal resources and associated activities (NAQDA/Forest Dept./Dept. of Wildlife Conservation/Tourism development Authority); agencies mandated with conservation of coastal resources and environment (CC & CRMD/CEA/MEPA/NARA) and enforcement agencies (Police/Navy /Coast Guard). In addition to the above members, a Coordinating Committee can also invite representatives from associations representing other economic activities (e.g. shrimp farmers association/exporters association), NGOs, CBOs and Fisherwomen’s groups active in the field of community development and environment conservation as observers at its meetings. A Fisheries Management Coordinating Committee is required to meet once every three months; to be chaired by DG/DFAR or his nominee. The development and implementation of a Fisheries Management Plan for its area becomes the primary responsibility of the Fisheries Management Coordinating Committee. Thus, the formulation and implementation of a fisheries programme for a Fishery Management Area which was a function of the Fisheries Committee/s (made up only of fishers) under the Fisheries Act of 1996 now becomes the responsibility of a diverse number of multi-sectoral stakeholders under the amended Act of 2013. The Fisheries Management Coordinating Committee has to submit to the Fisheries Advisory Council of MFARD a fisheries development and management plan for its area. The Advisory Council will submit the plan to the Minister for approval within 60 days (after review/modification, if necessary). The minister on approval of the plan (also within 60 days) shall cause it to be published in the Government Gazette.

21 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

8. Formulation of a draft BSC fishery management plan

8.1. Generic model of a collaborative fishery management plan The management plan to be developed for the blue swimming crab fishery shall include the following key components, most of which have been made compulsory under the Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Amendment) Act No. 35 of 2013. 1. Description of the fishery The description of the fishery provides important background information as it sets the benchmarks for measuring changes in the fishery. It describes the boundaries of the fishery and main fishing grounds, catch and effort data, the types of fishers and gear used, etc. It also provides general information on the biology and habitat of the target species and the environmental issues/ecosystem concerns, if any. The main areas to be described are:  Area of application of the plan;  Target species and associated dependent species;  Fishing methods;  Social, economic and cultural information relating to fishery participants;  Environment and ecosystem information 2. Status of the fishery The status of the fishery provides important assessment information as it sets the benchmarks for management measures for the fishery. Areas that could be assessed are:  Assessments of relevant fish stocks;  Socio-economic status of the fishery participants; and  Ecological and environmental status of the fishery 3. Jurisdiction Jurisdiction provides information on who is legally responsible for managing the fishery and legal obligations that need to be met.  Levels of government, agencies and their roles in the fishery;  Formal and informal agreements between levels of governments; on fishery management;  Other Regulations and fisheries laws affecting the fishery 4. Objectives and performance indicators The objectives of the plan are very important because these set what the stakeholders want to achieve by having the fishery managed. To ensure that the success or otherwise of the achievement of an objective can be determined, each objective or group of related objectives must have at least one performance indicator and a response trigger point or reference point. Performance indicators are criteria by which success of the objectives can be measured. A performance indicator gives a guide to the direction of changes taking place in the fishery. As performance indicators are data hungry care will be taken to choose indicators that rely on data that can be simply and easily obtained. Trigger points and reference points will be chosen to provide the criteria when action needs to be taken if changes in the fishery occur. 5. Control mechanisms (management measures) Control measures which are the key to BSC fisheries management shall relate to the objectives of the fishery and shall be the actions needed to achieve the agreed objectives of the plan. Control measures will constrain or encourage the actions of fishers. These may include:  Access arrangements (Licensing) – who can fish;

22 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

 Input controls – numbers and type of gear used, number and type of boats, size of crabs, mesh size, fishing zones etc.;  Marine protected areas - area closures, seasonal closures;  Output controls - quota for boats, areas;  Reporting requirements – logbooks, data collection methods;  Codes of conduct - agreement by fishermen to do the right thing with no sanctions except social and moral obligation; and  MOUs between fishermen and other stakeholders.  Flexibility within an overall agreed framework, based on local conditions identified.

6. Fisheries research Research needs shall be strongly linked to the achievement of the objectives of the plan. Suggested priorities would be:  Stock assessments of BSC  Specific assessments of aspects of the fishery (e.g. changes in gear specifications, socio-economic, environmental, etc.); and  Implications for management – continuous improvement based on best available information.

7. Monitoring of the fishery (data collection and analysis) Monitoring of the fishery will provide the information needed to assess the performance of the plan in achieving the agreed objectives. Data collection is therefore important and is a priority need of fisheries management. The data related to implementation and success of the plan will include:  Registration of fishers, boats and gear  Fishing operations licenses  Catch and effort  Indirect impacts relating to fishing activities (habitat destruction, non-target species, environmental effects, etc.)  Illegal fishing and related activities  Market information 8. Compliance (surveillance and enforcement) The success of the BSC fisheries management is based on the understanding and acceptance of stakeholders that fishers should comply with the control mechanisms of the plan. Some areas for consideration are:  Voluntary compliance arrangements;  Process of enforcement of regulations and rules within this plan; and  Capacity building and training needs specific to surveillance and enforcement of the fishery 9. Consultation and extension with stakeholders Stakeholders must be aware of and agree to the process of consultation needed to develop, implement and review the plan. Some areas that might be considered are:  As appropriate, an inter-agency consultation mechanism;  A mechanism for regular consultation with stakeholders;  A public relation strategy, including sensitizing political leaders and senior government officials;  Role of DFAR and NARA in the consultation process;

23 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

 An effective extension strategy;  Information flow and role of various committees;  Improving public awareness and acceptance; and  Involvement of stakeholders in management planning and its implementation (MCS). 10. Post-harvest sector As the BSC fishery is primarily export oriented, the management plan shall emphasize the need for:  Improved handling on board boats;  Improved processing facilities;  Meeting international safety and health requirements. 11. Development of the fishery The following aspects shall be considered in the development of the BSC fishery through stakeholder participation:  Improved technology;  Environmentally friendly fishing methods and gear;  Fisheries infrastructure; and  Better marketing arrangements. 12. Obligations and responsibilities of stakeholders Stakeholders will share jointly the management of BSC fishery and assume the responsibility to:  Being active partners in the management process;  Negotiate fishery management plans;  Voluntarily complying with the rules of the agreed plan;  Provide catch and effort data;  Develop the fishery sector;  Seek better (responsible, non-destructive) fishing methods; and  Use environmentally friendly fishing gear 13. Amendment and review of the plan The BSC fishery management plan shall be updated and improved on the basic principle of continuous improvement based on best available information gained from monitoring and research. Other aspects include:  When and how plan to be reviewed (basis for changing the plan or the management measures related to objectives and performance indicators and triggers); and  Who has responsibility for the plan and its review

8.2. Progress to-date Work already done, data/information already available for the development of a management plan as well as balance work to be done under each component of the generic plan are summarized in Table 19. The time allocated in the LOA for the conduct of the fishing effort survey culminating with the drafting of a management plan was found to be inadequate, particularly when DFAR is required to follow the provisions in the Fisheries Act. Interactions with fishers and key stakeholders during workshops have provided important and major inputs to the draft management plan such as identification of issues affecting the fishery, who needs to be involved as stakeholders and some indications on the short term and long term management needs. However, more work and further consultations with all stakeholders is necessary develop a draft management plan.

In the first instance, DFAR needs to establish the legal and institutional mechanisms as provided under the Act. The first activity is to declare Fisheries Management Areas (FMA) to encompass waters within which BSC fishery is conducted. The Gulf of Mannar within which BSC fishery in Puttalam district is conducted has been declared a FMA since 2010. The fishery in Mannar, Kilinochchi and Jaffna districts occur in waters of the Palk Bay. DFAR has to consult with BSC fishers in these districts as well as fisheries officials to decide whether the whole of Palk Bay (Sri Lankan side) is to be declared as a single FMA or whether coastal waters off Mannar, Kilinochchi and Jaffna districts shall be demarcated and declared as three separate FMAs. Fisheries Management Coordinating Committee (FMCC) or committees can then be established in the FMAs. FMCC is the equivalent of FMU. It is envisaged that one FMCC is adequate for the Gulf of Mannar fishery which is limited to Puttalam district only. For the Palk Bay fishery which encompasses three districts, three FMCCs may be required within one FMA. These issues need to be resolved between all stakeholders. Fisheries Committees have to be established to accommodate all BSC fishers in the landing sites identified during the fishing effort survey in the four districts. These Fisheries Committees should have their own constitution and should function for some time before they can be registered with DFAR. Mobilization of all BSC fishers to establish Fisheries Committees require a number of visits to the field by senior DFAR staff from Colombo to work closely with the district fisheries staff who have no previous experience in the EAFM process. Identifying and mobilizing all stakeholders to form Fisheries Management Coordinating Committees for each FMA also needs a number of consultations with stakeholders including awareness creation on EAFM. While the amended Fisheries Act provides general guidelines on stakeholders that should be included in the coordinating committees, stakeholders relevant to BSC fishery need to be identified and mobilized. Although these activities can take place simultaneously, there is still the need for over 6 months to one year before a management plan can be drafted and forwarded for the approval of the Minister of Fisheries. The SLBSC Fishery Improvement project of the Seafood Exporters Association of Sri Lanka (funded by ILO, IOM, Asia Foundation, BOBLME and the National Fisheries Institute Crab Council of USA) has pledged to assist and work with DFAR and fishing communities to carry this initiative forward. It is hoped that the second phase of BOBLME will provide DFAR with further assistance to consolidate and carry forward this activity to ensure a sustainable BSC fishery. Table 21 Drafting of a BSC management plan – progress summary Component of the plan Completed To be completed 1.

Guidelines to complete BSC 1 1. This questionnaire is intended to obtain data/information on fishermen, boats and facilities available at Beach Landing Centres (BLC) from which targeted fisheries for Blue Swimming Crab (BSC) are carried out. 2. Resident fishers – Fishers living in villages close to or around the landing centre. Migrant fishers – Fishers coming from areas outside the DS division in which the BLC is located. 3. Fulltime fishers – Fishing is the sole livelihood/involved in year round fishing activities. Part-time fisher – Fishers engaged in other income generating activities/fishing seasonal occasional. 4. NTRB – Non-motorized traditional crafts. These include Oru, Vallam, Theppam and Kattumaram. Some may be made of FRP material. 5. MTRB – Motorized Traditional Craft s - These include Oru, Vallam, Theppam and Kattumaram fitted with outboard motor (OBM) engines. Some may be made of FRP material. Each craft type needs to be separated into three groups based on the horse power of the OBM used (less than 10 hp, between 10–15 hp and over15 hp). 6. OFRP – Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) boats powered by OBM engines. These boats also needs to be separated into three groups based on the horse power of the OBM used (less than 10 hp, between 10–15 hp and over15 hp). 7. Please indicate (Yes or No) whether the BLC has an access road, access to clean water and electricity; net mending/storage facility; fish storage facility and tiled/paved facility for fish handling, marketing and/or auctioning.

Guidelines to complete BSC 2 1. This questionnaire should be administered only to boat owners whose boats are engaged in the blue swimming crab fishery. Each questionnaire should contain data/information of only one boat owner. 2. A boat owner may own and operate more than one boat in the blue swimming crab fishery. The number of boats owned by the boat owner should be given in the specified column according to boat type:  NTRB Oru, NTRB Vallam, NTRB Theppam and NTRB Katttumaram - Non-motorized traditional crafts.  MTRB Oru, MTRB Vallam, MTRB Theppam and MTRB Katttumaram - Motorized traditional crafts powered by outboard motor (OBM) engines. Enter in the specified column according to the horse power of the OBM engine.  OFRP – Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) boats powered by OBM engines. Enter in the specified column according to the horse power of the OBM engine.

38 Survey of fishing effort for Sri Lankan blue swimming crab and development of a management plan

3. Bottom-set Gillnets (BSGN) and traps (TRFS) are the main fishing gear types used. List the type of gear used in the specified column and also if any other type of gear is used to catch blue swimming crab. 4. Check with boat owner whether the fishing gear is set to fish more at the bottom of the water column or the whole length of the water column from surface to bottom. If the boat carries net sets belonging to others, owners of these net sets must be consulted for required information. 5. A boat may carry more than one set of nets – the net set belonging to the boat owner and few more net sets belonging to others. Information related to netting material, ply, mesh size, etc. can be entered for five net sets. If more net sets are taken, information on these can be provided in a separate sheet of paper and attached to the questionnaire. Here again if the boat carries net sets belonging to others, owners of these net sets must be consulted for required information. 6. Please make sure that you personally measure the mesh size of the nets without relying solely on boat owner’s information. 7. A standard net piece or a panel is 40 meshes in height and 1,500 meshes in length. Nets are often cut into two halves (and used as two panels) so that each half is 20 meshes high and 1,500 meshes long. If the mesh size is known, the height and the length of the net panel can be calculated easily. Please make sure that you enter the correct mesh height and mesh length of each net panel by actually measuring the height and length of the net and/or counting the meshes. 8. Please check with boat owner the fishing area (distance from shore) most frequently used and the most preferred fishing depth and enter in appropriate columns for each boat. 9. Fishing may take place the whole year or for few months. Please denote the months during which fishing take place in the appropriate columns for each boat. 10. Fish catch in any given month can be high or low compared to other months. In relative terms, please indicate whether fish catch is high or low for all the months during which the fishery is conducted. This information will help to identify the best fishing season. 11. Fishing duration (soaking time) – Some nets are deployed in water over a long period of time (e.g. those made with monofilament netting) but the catch is collected once a day. Other nets are in water for varied periods of time before being hauled. The length of time a net is in water (soaking time) therefore varies from boat to boat. This needs to be checked with boat owners and entered. 12. Boat owners may sell their catch directly to exporters or their agents. Some may also auction the catch through the fisheries society. While the catch sold to exporters/agents is exported, catch auctioned via fisheries society may end up with local vendors/hotels/consumers. If the catch from a boat is sold both to exporter/agent and through auction to local users, please obtain the proportion (percentage) of such catch exported and sold locally.
