Provisional Prospectus
The Regional Technical Meeting on the
Collaborative Research Survey on Marine Fisheries Resources and Marine Environment in the Gulf of Thailand
(Cambodia, Thailand, and Viet Nam Waters) SEAFDEC Training Department
24-26 July 2018
BACKGROUND
In 2017, the Fortieth Program Committee Meeting of SEAFDEC has adopted the Survey on Marine Fisheries Resources and Marine Environment in the Gulf of Thailand under the SEAFDEC Project Offshore Fisheries Resources Exploration in Southeast Asia with the support from the Government of Japan through the Japanese Trust Fund for SEAFDEC. The overall aims of collaborative research survey are to encourage SEAFDEC Member Countries to strengthen marine fisheries and environment information collection by research vessel, and to promote the offshore fisheries resources exploration through the research and human resources capacity by utilization of SEAFDEC’s Training and Research Vessel, M.V. SEAFDEC 2.
In response to Member Countries’ needs and requirements, in early 2018, the Collaborative Research Survey on Marine Fisheries Resources and Marine Environment in the Gulf of Thailand has been drafted by the SEAFDEC Training Department. Recently, a series of consultation meetings on the Collaborative Research Survey on Marine Fisheries Resources and Marine Environment in the Gulf of Thailand has been successfully organized by SEAFDEC/TD in collaboration with Fisheries Administration (FiA), Cambodia on 9 March 2018, with the Directorate of Fisheries (D-FISH) and Research Institute for Marine Fisheries (RIMF), Viet Nam on 7-8 March 2018, and with the Department of Fisheries (DoF), Thailand and local academic institutions and agencies on 30 April 2018. The meetings discussed and came up with the research topics, draft cruise plan, and concerned details on the Collaborative Research Survey for further discussion, development and preparation prior to the survey.
To ensure the preparedness and success of this collaborative survey in the Gulf of Thailand, it is therefore necessary for participating countries and agencies to technically and administratively discuss and agree on the survey cruise plan and all concerned arrangements prior to the cruise survey which is scheduled from 17 August to 9 November 2018, starting by Thailand, Cambodia and Viet Nam waters respectively, SEAFDEC Training Department plans to organize the Regional Technical Meeting on the Collaborative Research Survey on Marine Fisheries Resources and Marine Environment in the Gulf of Thailand (Cambodia, Thailand, and Viet Nam Waters), from 24 to 26 July 2018, at SEAFDEC Training Department. The overall aims of the Regional Technical Meeting is to finalize the research activities, cruise plan of M.V. SEAFDEC 2, onboard researchers, and administrative matters e.g. port entry, logistics arrangement, and supply of provisions.
