The expected outputs of the high-level consultation are the adoption of the "Joint ASEAN-SEAFDEC Declaration on Regional Cooperation for Combating IUU Fishing and Improving the Competitiveness of ASEAN Fish and Fishery Products" by high-level officials of the ASEAN Member States .
WORK PLAN
It is proposed that the budget for the high-level consultation would be financed from the Minimum Regular Contribution (MRC), and the implementation of preparatory events would be supported by other project resources.
REQUIRED CONSIDERATION BY THE 47 TH COUNCIL MEETING
Center for Fisheries Development in Southeast Asia .. 5) Conduct of "High Level Consultation" and Endorsement of "Joint Statement" by Senior Officials of ASEAN Member States (2-day meeting sometime in August-September 2015) V. Policy concept developed in close collaboration with the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and includes an overview of the rationale for EAFM and what it is, and highlights recommendations on how EAFM can be used for fisheries management at national and regional levels across ASEAN member states.
Why EAFM?
This Policy Concept Note on EAFM Implementation recommends a series of measures for discussion and consideration by ASEAN/SEAFDEC Member States to encourage and advance Member States' efforts to effectively implement the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM), including means to combat IUU fishing as a practical, efficient and equitable way to support sustainable fisheries, food security, livelihoods and prosperity of ASEAN Member States (AMS). The Council is also urged to support policy recommendations to move ASEAN Member States towards effective implementation of the EAFM.
What is EAFM?
An EAFM is a practical and participatory way to manage fisheries by constantly striving to achieve a balance between ecological well-being and human well-being through good governance. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) defined an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) as “an approach to fisheries management and development that attempts to balance different societal objectives, taking into account knowledge and uncertainties about biotic, abiotic and human components of ecosystems and their interactions and the application of an integrated approach to fisheries management within ecologically significant limits' (FAO 2003).
Existing Policies and Activities Supporting an EAFM Regional Level
In November 2013, at the 9th Coral Triangle Initiative for Coral Reefs, Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) Senior Officials Meeting held in Manila, the Senior Officials of the CT6 countries approved the Regional Framework for Legislation and Policy to Support an EAFM endorsed. . A wide range of activities have been implemented by the ASEAN-SEAFDEC member states to develop increased capacity and initiate steps towards the implementation of an EAFM.
Policy Recommendations for moving the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Member Countries toward implementation of an EAFM
Moving forward, Indonesia will continue the Task Force's work in priority areas (aquatic health management, regional aquaculture improvement, sustainable food management and development, and fisheries improvement projects) in collaboration with Task Force members and the sector. other private and regional/international organizations including SEAFDEC and the Network of Asia-Pacific Aquaculture Centers (NACA). On SEAFDEC's efforts in response to member countries' requests during the 46th SEAFDEC Council meeting.
THE PROPOSED DEPARTMENT’S PLANS OF OPERATION AND PROGRAMS OF WORK
