    SEAFDEC/UN Environment/GEF/FR-RSTC.1 WP2 Regional Scientific and Technical Committee Meeting for the SEAFDEC/UNEP/GEF Project on Establishment and Operation of a Regional System of Fisheries Refugia in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand 11th – 13th September 2018 Trat Province (Fisheries Refugia Site), Thailand REPORT OF THE PROJECT DIRECTOR ON ACTIVITIES DURING NOV. 2016 – JUN. 2018 I. INTRODUCTION The South China Sea is a global center of shallow water marine biological diversity that supports significant fisheries that are important to food security and export incomes of the Southeast Asian countries. Consequently, all inshore waters of the South China Sea basin are subject to intense fishing pressure. With fish production being intrinsically linked to the quality and area of habitats and the heightened dependence of coastal communities on fish, a need exists to improve the integration of fish habitat considerations and fisheries management in the region. Taking into consideration the aforementioned circumstances, SEAFDEC/Training Department (TD) embarked in 2016 a 5-year project “Establishment and Operation of a Regional System of Fisheries Refugia in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand” with the specific objective of “operating and expanding the network of fisheries refugia in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand for improved management of fisheries and critical marine habitats linkages in order to achieve the medium and longer-term goals of the fisheries component of the Strategic Action Programme for the South China Sea.” II. PROJECT INCEPTION WORKSHOP To start-off, the “Project Inception Meeting” was organized on 1-3 November 2016 in Bangkok, Thailand to introduce and discuss the Project goals, objectives, management framework, strategy, and plan, in order to enhance the understanding of concerned countries on the Project implementation.

Atlas of Trafficking in Mainland Southeast Asia Drug trafficking in and out of the Golden Triangle Pierre-Arnaud Chouvy CNRS-Prodig (Maps 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 25, 31) The Golden Triangle is the name given to the area of mainland Southeast Asia where most of the world‟s illicit opium has originated since the early 1950s and until 1990, before Afghanistan‟s opium production surpassed that of Burma. It is located in the highlands of the fan-shaped relief of the Indochinese peninsula, where the international borders of Burma, Laos, and Thailand, run. However, if opium poppy cultivation has taken place in the border region shared by the three countries ever since the mid-nineteenth century, it has largely receded in the 1990s and is now confined to the Kachin and Shan States of northern and northeastern Burma along the borders of China, Laos, and Thailand.

Green turtle have been known as plant eaters. Mainly a few species of seagrass In Cambodia, four large seagrass meadows have been selected as demonstration sites in two provinces and one municipality. KKSG1 and KKSG2 were selected in Koh Kong province, KAMPSG1 in Kampot Province, and KEPSG1 in Kep Municipality. So far, there is no confident information that have been mentioned about seagrass species and specific seagrass species which are the most favored species for green turtle even some survey had been conducted. Becase the process of the survey did not continue, feeding ground zoning for sea turtles have not been set up yet.

  • Livelihood Lessons and Consideration for Pmmr in Koh Kong, Cmbodia
    Page 1 of 12 LIVELIHOOD LESSONS AND CONSIDERATION FOR PMMR IN KOH KONG, CMBODIA BACKGROUND Of the five component objectives for phase 1 of the PMMR project, livelihood options proved to be quite challenging. In retrospect, this makes sense, given how complicated rural livelihoods are and how there are no 'easy fix' solutions PMMR had undertaken some grouper and sea bass cage culture, which had not worked for various reasons', and were interested in further exploring ideas. One lesson the team had already learned was that Technical Experts and Advisors could give great sounding advice, that wouldn't necessarily work on the ground. For these reasons, the team welcomed the chance to have someone come down to Koh Kong, with significant field experience, to work with the team over several weeks. Karen Vidler, an Australian mangrove and fisheries expert, had significant experience both in Australia and in the Philippines working with fishers and as an Advisor to various coastal projects. She was interested in coastal work in other parts of Asia, and volunteered to work with PMMR for several weeks. Having a young professional who could take the time to both facilitate classroom lessons and then carry out work in the field was exactly what PMMR needed. OBJECTIVES to explore the idea of' livelihoods to explore potential livelihood options' for PKWS to draw upon lessons Karen has learned from the Philippines and Australia to consider which places in the Philippines would be useful for the PMMR team to do a local study tour. LET THE LESSONS BEGIN After time in the field and a discussion of PMMR, the team discussed four areas that they would like to learn more about: 1.
