Rudolf also suggested that the ASEAN Member States (AMSs) should consider developing their respective national plans for VGSSF as well as a sub-regional plan for the implementation of the VGSSF in the Andaman Sea sub-region. While praising the management structure of the BOBLME project which focuses on ecosystem-based management, the representative of IUCN, Mr. Pattaratjit Kaewnuratchadasorn presented the "Updated Actions on the Implementation of the Results of the Second Andaman Sub-Regional Meeting".
In response to the question of the representative from Thailand regarding transboundary stock management of species under the jurisdiction of the Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC), e.g. He therefore reiterated the importance of sustainable management of marine resources in the sub-region. In response to the question of the representative from FAO/RAP regarding the results of surveys on coral reefs in Thailand based on different types of management, Mr.

Richard Rumpet, Senior Researcher at the Fisheries Institute (FRI) of the Department of Fisheries Malaysia. This has helped improve knowledge and understanding of the population structure of Indian mackerel along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. When asked by SEAFDEC about the results of the genetic study on Indian mackerel, Mr.
In response to a question from the SEAFDEC/MFRDMD representative about the monitoring strategy based on the new management measures, Mr. , three (3) kilometers from the coast was a reserved area for small-scale fishing, and with the new law this was expanded from three (3) to twelve (12) kilometers, subject to the agreement of the government committees (i.e. provincial committees).
EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF FISHING CAPACITY AND REDUCING
EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF FISHING CAPACITIES AND REDUCTION OF ILLEGAL FISHING: LAWS AND LEGISLATION IN THE ANDAMAN SEA. Somboon added that regional cooperation should be strengthened for the effective implementation of standard measures or standard tools for fisheries management in Andaman Sea countries in particular and the Southeast Asian region in general. Somboon explained that there is a need to carry out fishing capacity assessment for different types of fishing gear used in the sub-region.
In order to combat IUU fishing in the region, he stressed that there is a need to identify and harmonize the issues to support the implementation of PSMA. In response to the concerns raised about promoting more effective management of fishing capacity and combating illegal and destructive fishing in the Andaman Sea, SEAFDEC Senior Adviser, Dr. vessels and fishing efforts with the fish resources in the Andaman Sea.
WORK PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR ANDAMAN SEA SUB-REGION
DEVELOPMENT OF WORK PLANS FOR THE ANDAMAN SEA SUB-REGION 7.1 Group discussion to develop a work plan for the Andaman Sea sub-region. The said MoU could be extended to serve as a model for other countries in addressing other relevant management issues in the Andaman Sea sub-region. Key issues that need to be addressed for effective fishing capacity management and reduction of IUU fishing in the Andaman Sea sub-region have been identified.
Although some countries in the Andaman Sea sub-region have their own national data, but such information may be limited to some extent, so it should be improved through information sharing. Furthermore, relevant institutions at the regional level should help to provide support in promoting effective management of fishing capacity in the Andaman Sea sub-region. The outcome of the discussion on Effective Management of Fishing Capacity and Reduction of Illegal and Destructive Fishing in the Andaman Sea appears as Appendix 21.
FISHERIES MANAGEMENT MECHANISM FOR THE ANDAMAN SEA SUB-
He therefore suggested that SEAFDEC could use this opportunity to plan the management platform for sub-sub-regional arrangements in the future. This alternative way of communication nevertheless requires a promoter/coordinator to maintain the issues and keep the discussion on track. Kom agreed that SEAFDEC could serve as coordinator and that SEAFDEC would send official letters to the Council Directors of the Andaman Sea countries for the nomination of the Andaman focal point of each country that would participate in the talks.
During the discussion, recommendations were raised for joint fisheries management not only for the South Andaman Sea sub-region but also for the North Andaman Sea sub-region. These include: balancing the existing legal and institutional framework for the implementation of fisheries management cooperation; inclusion of EAFM in the national fisheries management plan with the establishment of respective national working teams for EAFM; integrating gender, small-scale fisheries and climate change into the management environment; and account should be taken of the countries' needs to establish institutional dialogues and establish a functioning joint fisheries management with other countries. These recommendations would be ideal to discuss the joint fisheries management established for the Andaman Sea sub-region during the Skype meetings, which should also aim to encourage the joint management team to gather basic information from the countries concerned.
SUMMARY AND WAY FORWARD
Considering that there is a need to increase cooperation between countries through frequent dialogues and meetings, the representative from Indonesia suggested that video conferencing or online meetings through Skype or any other Internet-based platform could be an alternative strategy to facilitate the development of dialogues. . He explained that although the participants in the series of meetings may differ, the topics for discussion and the papers are the same. Together with this development, the General Secretary, Dr. The Com agreed that SEAFDEC could serve as the Coordinator and that SEAFDEC would send formal letters to the Council Directors of the Andaman Sea countries for the nomination of the Andaman Sea Focal Point from each country participating in the dialogue.
In addition, the scoring methods could also be used to show the progress of the implementation of the regional tools and measures. During the discussion, the representative from Malaysia informed the meeting that it might be difficult for Malaysia to collect information on the gender aspect and for the sake of clarification, she asked the meeting to explain the important role of gender in the fisheries sector. In this regard, the representative from SDF replied that it is important that women are also involved in the entire project planning and implementation of the activities, especially in the assessment of the yield of the activities, and also in making decisions.

Bilateral and/or tri-lateral arrangement between Andaman countries established for data collection and transboundary fisheries management through series of meetings between the countries.
Andaman countries focal points defined and empowered to persuade policy makers to harmonize management frameworks taking into account scientific information on. The Joint Management Advisory Council will consist of a fisheries manager and a scientist from each country in the Andaman Islands. Funds are made available for the development of training to improve the compilation of fisheries statistics.
Greater involvement of all stakeholders (at all levels) from the planning stage to the implementation of relevant activities. Aspects of M&E included in the planning phase of all activities and training conducted to improve capacity for M&E implementation and impact assessment. Knowledge and awareness of the impacts of climate variability and change on fisheries enhanced through regular exchange of relevant experiences among the Andaman States.
Governance at different levels (from local to national/international) may not always be coordinated. Research activities on fisheries management are included in the academic program and academic research results are used by policy makers for sustainable fisheries management.
Build the connecting national network with the existing shipping system (such as in the Strait of Malacca). Expand the national network into a sub-regional network. Establish the coordination mechanism, including identifying the point of contact(s).
