SEAFDEC therefore supports the efforts of the ASEAN Maritime Forum in addressing urgent sea-related issues to ensure maritime and food security in the region. In the midst of this regional fishing situation and taking into account the uniqueness and variations of the region's fisheries,
Gearing towards a Regional MCS System
The 'Expert Consultation on Fishing Capacity Management to Combat Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing in Southeast Asia', convened in September 2010 in Bangkok, Thailand, highlighted the importance of regional approaches in developing agreements at the sub-regional level, including the development of MCS networks. In addition, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore (Tripartite Agreements) have regular joint maritime patrol activities under the MALSINDO program and joint aerial reconnaissance "eye in the sky" to combat IUU fishing in the Straits of Malacca (Poernomo et al., 2011). ).
Way Forward
In terms of MCS regional, sub-regional and bilateral cooperative activities, there are many initiatives in the region. Countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines are involved in regional initiatives or tripartite agreements to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing in WWF's Sulu-Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion program and in the RPOA to promote responsible fishing.
Bilateral, sub-regional and regional cooperation on MCS can lead to sharing of fisheries data on MCS for fisheries management purposes, and should be pursued. In establishing a regional MCS system, it would be necessary to harmonize extradition legislation and agreements, as this would result in cost savings and increased negotiating power, particularly in the implementation of flag and port state control agreements, and combined measures to address IUU fishing.
About the Authors
In this regard, Port State Measures are considered an efficient tool to regulate fishing activities in landing ports and to combat IUU fishing. This report provides information on the Agreement on Port State Measures and the experience of several countries in Southeast Asia in initiating efforts to adopt the Agreement which other countries can use as a reference in preparing for the eventual implementation of the Agreement on Port State Measures in the Southeast. Asian region.
Port State Measures and Port Monitoring in Southeast Asia
To meet such demand, the number and efficiency of active fishing vessels is increasing, causing overcapacity in most fishing areas of the world, and fishing resources becoming overexploited. According to FAO, the decline in global fish production from marine fisheries over the past two decades has led to global concerns about the effectiveness of fisheries management, the enforcement of limits and regulations, and the long-term sustainability of optimal levels of use of fishery products. Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing has been recognized as one of the harmful factors affecting the health of fish stocks and marine ecosystems, as well as the livelihoods of legal fishermen.
Development of the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter
Port State Measures Agreement
The EC regulation that entered into force on 1 January 2010 is an example of how the principles of the PSM agreement can be incorporated into national legislation. Furthermore, the Regulation requires that the validity of the catch documents must be verified at fishing ports. During the 29th session of COFI on 31 January-4 February 2011, the FAO Member States were encouraged to ratify, accept, approve or accede to the PSM Agreement and to make extra-budgetary contributions to capacity development for the implementation of the support agreement.
Southeast Asia: A Major Trading Partner in Fishery Products
Before the adoption and entry into force of the PSM Agreement, some states and/or 'regional management organizations' and/or 'regional economic integration organizations' have already developed national laws and regulations based on the principles of the PSM Agreement with a common objective, namely the fight against IUU fishing. The EC Regulation specifies that all marine fishery products exported to the EU, as well as marine fishery products exported within the EU, must be accompanied by appropriate catch documents which can be used to validate and confirm that the fishery products do not originate from any IUU fishing activity. In assessing the progress made on measures against IUU fishing, including the implementation of port state measures and market state measures, COFI also assessed the performance of flag states as well as the status of the development of “Comprehensive Global Record of Fishing Vessels, Refrigerated Transport Vessels and Supply Vessels”.
Port Monitoring in Southeast Asia and Collaboration on Port Monitoring in Sub-
Nevertheless, there is still a need to develop the means to verify the legal status of fishery products landed in many ports in the region, as well as the practices and procedures for port monitoring and port inspections to meet international standards. More importantly, the requirements of the PSM agreement would also be applied to domestic landings, especially if the catch is intended for export. Similar efforts could also be made for countries bordering the Andaman Sea such as Myanmar and Thailand and Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand in the southern part of the Andaman Sea.
Sub-regional Collaboration on Port Monitoring: Gulf of Thailand and the
While referring to the Gulf of Thailand sub-regional meetings which promoted sub-regional management agreements, the Meeting agreed on the need to establish appropriate fisheries management for the Andaman Sea sub-region. Currently, the monitoring of ports in the region is mainly or primarily with the objective of monitoring the management of ports and landing sites. Since the adoption of the PSM Agreement in November 2009, only Myanmar among the ASEAN countries had acceded to the PSM Agreement on 22 November 2010.
Devil Ray Resources in Bohol Sea, Philippines
Status of Devil Rays in the Study Site
It is an ecologically connected ecosystem and one of the main fishing grounds in the Philippines. A landing survey was also conducted and identification of landed rays was based on published distinguishing characteristics (Box 1). Buckles have also been used as primary indicators for determining the sex of devil rays.
Utilization and Market of Mobulas
The Bohol Sea, which is part of the Mindanao Sea, is located between the Visayas and Mindanao, and connects the Philippine Sea through the Surigao Strait to the Camotes Sea through the Canigao Channel and the Cebu Strait, and to the Sulu Sea through the strait between Negros Island and the Zamboanga Peninsula. The traditional way of catching rays locally is through the use of a gaff hook known locally as To obtain data on the catch production of devil rays in the study area, an interview survey was conducted with fishermen and financiers from March to May 2010 to obtain information on fishing practices as well as historical data on catch and the use of Mobulas. .
Catch and Effort
The seasonality of Mobula fishing is attributed to the annual cyclical weather patterns in the area. However, based on the most recent study from 2010, fishermen from Pamilacan Island no longer catch rays in the area. This situation together shows that the stock of Mobulida in this area is still not overfished.

Alternative Livelihoods for Small Coastal Fishers
Fishing boats <45 hp accounted for about 72% of the country's total mechanized fishing boats and they are small, operating mainly in coastal areas. Furthermore, over 80% of boats <45 Hp operate in coastal areas, causing high pressure on coastal fisheries resources and posing potential threats to marine and coastal resources, and more specifically to the ecosystem.
Promotion of Alternative Livelihoods for Near-shore Fishers
From the case study analysis, the characteristics of alternative livelihoods for coastal fishermen are summarized as shown in Box 1. The results of the case study also suggested that the promotion of alternative livelihoods for fishermen should be phased and planned with significant scale based on repeated good practice. Implementation should also be accompanied by appropriate adjustments based on the experience of fishermen.
Alternative Livelihood Options for Vietnamese Fishers
Based on the results of the case study, the objectives, principles and implementation strategies for encouraging fishermen to switch from inshore fishing to offshore fishing should be focused as proposed in Box 2. The development of marine aquaculture should include the use of Industrial feed instead of marine waste fish should be encouraged to reduce pressure on coastal fisheries. Fish farmers should be encouraged to reduce the use of marine waste fish as aquaculture feed.

Although the price was low in early 2011, it was still a good thing for her family. In a January 2011 survey of Cambodians' perceptions of climate change funded by DANIDA, UNDP and Oxfam (BBC World Service Trust and Ministry of Environment, 2011), almost all respondents recognized at least one of the terms 'climate change'. ' and 'global warming'. However, when it comes to understanding the causes of climate change, most people link the changes in weather they have experienced to Cambodia's deforestation.
About the Author
He feeds his fish with food bought from Vietnam, fattening the fish for three months before selling them on the local market. For this reason, even though the water level of Tonle Sap Great Lake was very low in early 2011, it meant nothing to his business. When asked if they had heard about climate change, most fishermen did not understand the question – or rather the term.
