The ASEAN Regional Action Plan for Fishing Capacity Management (RPOA Capacity) was prepared by the Secretariat of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) in collaboration with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and ASEAN Member States . ASEAN Regional Action Plan for Fishing Capacity Management (RPOA Capacity), Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center. Fishing capacity management is the key element that ensures sustainable use of fisheries resources.
The RTC, jointly hosted by SEAFDEC and DOF Malaysia with financial support from the Japan Trust Fund (JTF) and the SEAFDEC-Sweden project, reviewed ASEAN Member States' (AMS) fishing capacity management practices. The RTC identified issues, problems and opportunities as well as key information to be included in the preparation of the Regional Fishing Capacity Management Action Plan (RPOA-Capacity). Recommended proposal for the development of a National Action Plan for the Management of Fishing Capacity (NPOA-Capacity).
In addition, FAO member countries subsequently adopted the International Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity 1999 (IPOA-Capacity). Recognizing the importance of fishing capacity management, ASEAN requested SEAFDEC's participation in the development of a Regional Fishing Capacity Management Action Plan (RPOA-Capacity) during the 2012 ASEAN Consultative Fisheries Forum (AFCF) Fourth Meeting in Indonesia. . The overall objective of the RPOA-Capacity would be to serve as a guideline for fisheries capacity management from an ASEAN perspective and also to support ASEAN Member States in development and implementation.
Report of the Expert Meeting on Fishing Capacity Management in South East Asia, 27-29 July 2006, Sihanouk Ville, Cambodia.
Assessment of Fishing Capacity
RPOA-Capacity is developed on the basis of the principles laid down in international and regional instruments such as the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), the International Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity (IPOA-Capacity), the relevant rules of international law reflected in The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 (UNCLOS) and the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Resolution and Action Plan on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region. The RPOA capacity was developed through consultative processes with experts and officials from ASEAN-SEAFDEC member states in February, August and December 2015.
Preparation and Implementation of National Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity
Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY), Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) as indicators of resource status for management of fishing capacity at national and/or regional/sub-regional level;. Consider developing measures to control the construction of fishing vessels and imports as a proactive approach to control fishing capacity; and. Consider introducing or developing a fishing fee scheme as the economic rent of fishing resources referred to as .. resource rent, as a basis for registration of fishing vessels and fishing licenses.
Improve understanding of the importance of stock enhancement, including habitat conservation, to preserve the early life cycle stage of fish, such as spawning, rearing grounds and protect the migration paths (which may be transboundary); and c. Develop fisheries management tools, including fisheries refuges, . closed areas, protected areas and aquatic reserves for both inland and marine areas for implementation at the national level and in transboundary areas to effectively conserve and manage fish stocks, transboundary fish stocks and to protect habitats on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the best available scientific evidence information and precautionary approach. Coordinated international research is also recommended, especially with regard to the development of tools and policy instruments that could be more appropriate in the country/ . sub-regional/regional levels. Such cooperation is essential for the subregional/regional management of transboundary fish stocks.

This often relates to where the legal owner has implied trustee duties to the beneficial owner. In addition, the term refers to the approach that takes on particular importance in small-scale fisheries, where local management capacity and responsibility combined with the support of formal legal frameworks and information/decision-making systems can provide particular benefits. Economic rent: Economic rent can be defined as the surplus value created during the production of a good or service due to the ownership of a factor of production that is in fixed or limited supply (http://www.fao.org/docrep ) /003/x6827e/X6827E02.htm).
Fishing capacity: Fishing capacity is, for a given resource state, the amount of fish (or fishing effort) that can be produced over a period of time (eg a year) by a vessel or a fleet if it is fully utilised, that is say if effort and catch are not limited by restrictive management measures (FAO Technical Guidelines for Responsible Fisheries). When fishing effort increases, all else being equal, we would expect the percentage of fish caught to increase (http://www. . fao.org/docrep/005/y3427e/y3427e06.htm). Open Access: is the condition where access to the fishery (for the purpose of harvesting fish) is unrestricted; that is, the right to fish is free and open to all.
Overfishing: Overfishing is a generic term used to refer to the condition of a stock subject to a level of fishing effort or fishing mortality such that a reduction in effort in the medium term will lead to an increase in total catch. Precautionary principle: A set of agreed cost-effective measures and actions, including future courses of action, which ensure prudent foresight, reduce or avoid risk to resources, the environment and people, to the extent possible, with explicit consideration of existing uncertainties and the potential consequences of be wrong. Sub-regions: This refers to any region or areas where more than one country is affected or those areas related to the transboundary issues and/or fish stocks that were to be managed together through the cooperation and collaboration.
In the Southeast Asian region, the sub-regions refer to the specific maritime areas such as the Gulf of Thailand, the Andaman Sea, the Sulu-Sulawesi Sea, etc. This category includes the supply of relatively large inland waters where no property rights exist. to stock. Normally, an individual or a group of individuals and/or an organization has ownership rights over the shares.
These features together constitute a form of aquaculture that, according to the FAO definition (FAO 1997), is called culture-based fisheries. Fisheries subsidies: Fisheries subsidies are government actions or inactions that are specific to the fishing industry and that modify - by increasing or decreasing - the potential profits from the industry in the short, medium or long term. TAC can be distributed to stakeholders in the form of quotas such as specific quantities or sizes. http://www.fao.org/faoterm/en/?defaultCollId=21).
Define total allowable fishing capacity based on resource assessment and further develop quota system for provinces. Promote the use of traditional and local knowledge to support the management of fisheries and fishing capacity 4.4.
Identified Key Issues and Feasible Measures as a Basis Reference for Development of the RPOA-Capacity
Identification of key issues and feasible measures as a basic reference for the development of RPOA capacities. Issues Feasible measures Technical assistance Information on management of fishing capacity (fishing resources). 3) Insufficient data and information on fishing resources. Stock assessment, improved data collection and methodologies for marine and inland fisheries.
Demands for food for water and raw materials for export put pressure on fishing capacity.
