Project Title: Combating IUU Fishing in the Southeast Asian Region through Application of Catch Certification for International Trade in Fish and Fishery Products
Program Thrust: III Total Duration: 2013-2019
Lead Department: MFRDMD Lead Country: Singapore
Donor/Sponsor: JTF VI Total Donor Budget: USD181,442 Project Partner: Secretariat Budget for 2018: USD 29,896
Project Leader: Abdul Razak Bin Latun Involved Country: SEAFDEC Member Countries PART I: OVERALL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1. Brief Project Description
Illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing was identified as the biggest threat to the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region (29th Session of APFIC). To combat IUU fishing, countries are asked to take actions among others to adopt on sub-regional cooperation in preventing, deterring and eliminating IUU fishing in the region. In response to this, the issue on management of fishing capacity and combating IUU fishing has been seriously addressed by ASEAN, SEAFDEC and the RPOA initiative to combat IUU fishing, as well as in the “Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region Towards 2020” adopted by the Ministers and Senior Officials during the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference in 2011. In addition to the afore-mentioned regional initiatives, there have been emerging trade-related measures and requirements aiming to combat IUU fishing and enhance responsible fishing practices, among which is the European Council Regulation (EC) No. 1005/2008. Therefore, it is urgently needed for Southeast Asian Countries to strengthen measures to exclude IUU origin fish and fishery products from the supply chain. In this regard, this program is aiming at formulation and dissemination of the “ASEAN Guidelines for Preventing the Entry of Fish and Fishery Products from IUU Fishing Activities into the Supply Chain” and establishment of an ASEAN Catch Documentation Scheme (ACDS). The guidelines and ACDS will serve as tools for Southeast Asian countries to combat IUU fisheries through controlling and monitoring trade of fish and fisheries products and help Southeast Asian countries to comply with IUU related trade measures.
2. Background and Justification
Most countries in the Southeast Asian region have developed their respective regulations based on EC Regulation 1005/2008. Therefore, it is possible for the countries to support the efforts to use trade measures to combat IUU fishing within the region. Countries should ensure the primary responsibility of flag state and counter measures to combat IUU fishing.
The project involves identification of existing trade practices/mechanisms in small-scale fishery and of associated problems in compliance with the EC Regulation No.1005/2008 for large-scale capture fishery in the region through core expert meetings. The information gathered were analyzed and comparison among countries will provide a possible catch documentation system for combating IUU fishing in the Southeast Asian region with possible expansion and/or modification for the regulation of international trade in fish and fishery products within the region.
This project corresponds to Resolution #8 of the ASEAN-SEAFDEC conference in 2011: Foster cooperation among ASEAN Member States, international and regional organizations in combating IUU fishing. This project corresponds to the Plan of Action #67 of the conference: Strengthen cooperation among Member Countries to implement international standards with regards to trading on fish and fishery products within the ASEAN region
