REVIEW OF POLICY, LEGAL, AND INSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR PHILIPPINE COMPLIANCE WITH THE WCPF CONVENTION Jay L. Batongbacal* 1. INTRODUCTION The 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC)1 and the 1995 UN Fish Stocks Agreement (UNFSA)2 mark important milestones in an evolutionary effort by the international community sought to establish some means of controlling fishing in what used to be considered the 'high seas' adjacent to their coasts. Agreement on what became Part III of the LOSC on the establishment of the exclusive economic zone (EEZ) extending coastal State jurisdiction seaward to 200M from shore in matters such as fishing represents the earliest mutual recognition of the legitimacy of coastal State interests and jurisdiction extending beyond the limits of the territorial sovereignty, both actual and ancillary. 3 Recognition of such a vast jurisdictional zone generated new challenges for coastal and fishing States: effective monitoring, control and surveillance; scientific stock assessment and allocation; and control of fishing effort by vessels and entities not under coastal State jurisdiction to ensure compliance with and success of national fishery management measures. Despite the fact that most commercial fishing activities in the 1970s were considered to be comprehended within the EEZ, the mere extension of State control even up to that distance could not address the impact of fishing activities beyond, in the high seas beyond any national jurisdiction. The interconnection and interaction between fish stocks in the EEZ and high seas areas was an ecological fact that could not be adequately faced by any kind of national fishery management system. Alarming data on high rates of depletion of fish stocks worldwide, and actual observation of collapses of commercial fish stocks in the final decades of the 20th century, spurred the international community to negotiate and agree on the * BA, LLB, MMM, JSD.

Entered into force, 28 July 1994. 2 United Nations Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks. Entered into force, 11 December 2001. 3 Traditionally, territorial sovereignty was equated with the land territory mainly, and for hundreds of years extended seaward only to a distance that coastal States considered as being subject to the exercise of such sovereignty and full control by such coastal State. The adjacent band of sovereignty was considered to be 'territorial waters' subject only to one easement in favor of other States: the right of innocent passage in favor of foreign vessels. 1 UNFSA which currently forms the foundation document for international regulation of fishing activities in the high seas. Through the UNFSA, the international community agreed upon the Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) as the institutional mechanism of choice for attempting to moderate and regulate international fishing activities. Essentially, the RFMO system establishes international organizations comprised of coastal and fishing States with interests in a fishery area or fish stock/s to promote mutual cooperation in the management of fishing effort. The international organization so established, however does not supplant, but in fact seeks to strengthen, coastal State and flag State jurisdiction. It is by working through its members as coastal States with jurisdiction over the fishing areas, and flag States with jurisdiction over fishing vessels, that RFMOs are intended to achieve more effective control over all activities that impact on the fishery. There is also sufficient room for the use of innovations such as port State control and any other mechanisms that may be agreed upon between States. This leaves the issue of dealing with non-members of the RFMOs as the more difficult jurisdictional issue in regulation, but recent practices have attempted new ways of encouraging non-member compliance with RFMO measures and conventions. RFMO coverage of the world's oceans and commercially-valuable stocks is presently nearly global in scope,4 although there are many overlaps in terms of areas and species. To be sure, international fisheries management still has a long way to go in terms of developing effective and universally acceptable means and methods. But the shift in assumptions from open- access high seas fisheries to RFMO-managed areas are seen by some observers as evidence that fishing is no longer considered as among the 'sacred' high seas freedoms enjoyed by all States. Indeed, with the global coverage of the world's oceans and commercially-valuable species by RFMO jurisdictions of some kind, it is becoming difficult for any country to claim any right of unilateral and unrestricted freedom of fishing in what used to be considered as seas open to all. This has serious implications to a developing country like the Philippines that is both a coastal State with significant fisheries jurisdiction and at the same time a distant-water fishing nation with fishery interests extending beyond its own waters.

  • Guidelines for Electrofishing Waters Containing Salmonids Listed Under
    National Guidelines for Electrofishing Waters Marine Fisheries Containing Salmonids Listed Under Service the Endangered Species Act June 2000 Purpose and Scope The purpose of this document is to provide guidelines for the safe use of backpack electrofishing in waters containing salmonids listed by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). It is expected that these guidelines will help improve electrofishing technique in ways which will reduce fish injury and increase electrofishing efficiency. These guidelines and sampling protocol were developed from NMFS research experience and input from specialists in the electrofishing industry and fishery researchers. This document outlines electrofishing procedures and guidelines that NMFS has determined to be necessary and advisable when working in freshwater systems where threatened or endangered salmon and steelhead may be found. As such, the guidelines provide a basis for reviewing proposed electrofishing activities submitted to NMFS in the context of ESA Section 10 permit applications as well as scientific research activities proposed for coverage under an ESA Section 4(d) rule. These guidelines specifically address the use of backpack electrofishers for sampling juvenile or adult salmon and steelhead that are not in spawning condition. Electrofishing in the vicinity of adult salmonids in spawning condition and electrofishing near redds are not discussed as there is no justifiable basis for permitting these activities except in very limited situations (e.g., collecting brood stock, fish rescue, etc.). The guidelines also address sampling and fish handling protocols typically employed in electrofishing studies. While the guidelines contain many specifics, they are not intended to serve as an electrofishing manual and do not eliminate the need for good judgement in the field.

    FOURTEENTH CONGRESS 1 7 JUN 30 PZ 155 OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES ) FIRST REGULAR SESSION 1 >,e.,I., ' '% SENATE ' ' 4;) ~~~~~lV~*: Senate Bill No. 171 , Introduced by Sen. M.A.Madrigal EXPLANATORY NOTE The Tubbataha Reef is located within Central Sulu Sea. It is part of the Sulu West Sea Marine Triangle under the jurisdiction of Cagayancillo, Palawan. It is made up of two atolls, the North Reef and South Reef. The Tubbataha Reef is home to seven (7) species of seagrasses, which are food for the endangered marine turtle, and seventy-one (71) algae, and four hundred seventy-nine species of marine fishes. Eighty-six percent (86%) of the total coral species in the Philippines are found in Tubbataha Reef area. The fish biomass in the Tubbataha Reef is more than average. It is the rookery of twenty-three species of migratory and resident sea birds, some of which is globally threatened. It is a nesting ground for two species of endangered marine turtles. Due to its biodiversity and ecological significance, the Tubbataha Reef Natural Park was declared a protected sanctuary in August 2006 through Presidential Proclamation No. 1126. In line with the State's policy of securing for the Filipino people of present and future generations the perpetual existence of all native plants and animals, it is incumbent upon the Congress to enact a law to provide for the management, protection, sustainable development and rehabilitation of the Tubattaha Reef Natural Park. This shall be established within the framework of the National Integrated Protected Area System (NIPAS) Act, or Republic Act of 7586, while considering the welfare and recognizing the rights of all the communities living therein especially the indigenous peoples.
