There are two considerations in producing good result of stock assessment: good data collection and better assessment methods. Robust data collection methodology is critical to represent population, spatial and temporal variations for stock assessment, and a suitable modeling is important to projecting fish stock assessment result. To date, at the third year of project implementation, in collaboration with the national- and provincial- level Fisheries Management units and MMAF Research units, USAID SEA Project and Partners have made significant progress on data collection, undertaken by NGOs as USAID SEA Project Partners, and sock assessment and harvest strategy development, undertaken by MMAF/BRPL. During the analysis, which was part of capacity building of MMAF technical staffs, USAID SEA involved the national researchers of the MMAF Research Institute for Marine Fisheries (Balai Riset Perikanan Laut - BRPL). Wider capacity building on catch monitoring and stock assessments to local scientist affiliated to the local universities are required, considering their roles in fisheries management and development at provincial level. The Faculty missions in the provincial development cover (1) implementation of tertiary education, (2) contribution of ideas in the formulation of sustainable economic development strategies, and (3) contribution of thoughts in formulating fisheries management policies, to ensure that fish stocks produce optimal support for regional development. Unfortunately, in the implementation of the missions, the Faculty members were constrained by the limited availability of the required data for policy and strategy formulation, and lack of knowledge and expertise on the concepts and analysis for the formulation of the policies and strategies in very limited data situations. Concern regarding those issues have been raised and the effort to address those issues by conducting a training for local university lecturers has been requested by the Dean of the Khairun University Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences, as written in his letter sent to the USAID SEA Project. The material obtained from the training will also be used for curriculum development in the Department of Fisheries. Responding to the Dean request, USAID SEA Project in partnership with Khairun University have conducted the training on the concept of fish resource assessment and fisheries management using the ecosystem approach, as well as analytical training for the assessment of fish and fishery resources and the formulation of fisheries management strategies with an ecosystem approach. OBJECTIVES OF ACTIVITY The objectives of training for local university Lecturer in North Maluku on EAFM and Fish Stock Assessment: 1) To introduce fisheries management adopting ecosystem approach covering dynamic of fish stock and fishery, set operational objectives, and determine indicators, referent points and management measures; 2) To introduce and exercise stock assessment by using biomass dynamic model using non- equilibrium methods; 3 | TRAINING FOR LOCAL UNIVERSITY LECTURERS USAID.GOV 3) To introduce and exercise stock assessment by using length-based model covering life history parameters and spawning potential ratio. IMPLEMENTATION Training-workshop for Local University Lecturers in North Maluku on EAFM and Fish Stock Assessment held in Ternate with the agenda presented in Table 1. Day, Date : Monday-Friday, 3-7 February 2020 Time : 08.00 – 16.00 WIB Place : Aula Babullah, Floor 4, Rectorate Building, Khairun University, Ternate Ternate – North Maluku Table 1.
