1 Thirty-eighth Meeting of the Program Committee Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center Dusit Thani Hotel, Manila, Philippines November 2015 WP06.5 PREPARATION FOR SOUTHEAST ASIAN STATE OF FISHERIES AND AQUACULTURE (SEASOFIA) 2017 Background Information on the status and trends of fisheries is widely recognized as crucial in serving as basis for sustainable development and management of fisheries. SEAFDEC throughout the past decades had undertaken several activities to compile various forms of fishery-related data and information, e.g. regional fishery statistics based on the national statistics data provided by the Southeast Asian countries, as well as other data and information from different SEAFDEC programs/projects. In order to ensure that the outputs from these initiatives could be integrated or digested into information that support the development and management for sustainable fisheries of the region, SEAFDEC in 2010 undertook a pilot exercise in developing the publication on The Southeast Asian State of Fisheries and Aquaculture or SEASOFIA. Such endeavor was meant to provide platform for compilation of synthesized data and information generated from various programs of activities, while incorporating other data and information available in the region, in order to provide better understanding on the status and trends of fisheries and aquaculture of the region. The first SEASOFIA was published in While taking into consideration the usefulness of the SEASOFIA especially as a tool in providing a platform for integrating regional data and information and in coming up with information to support policy planning and management of fisheries, the SEAFDEC Council during its 44 th Meeting agreed that the SEASOFIA could be published on a regular basis, i.e. every 5 years. It was also suggested that future production of the publication should be done in close coordination with other agencies that produce similar publications in order to avoid possible redundancies of the contents. Specifically, the SEASOFIA could focus on the analysis of the specificity of fisheries in the Southeast Asian region and could include the reasons behind the changing trends of fishery production in respective Southeast Asian countries. An analysis of the respective countries policy directions and management policies, as well as of over-exploitation or under-exploitation of stocks should also be included in the publication. In order to minimize production costs and enhance dissemination, the publication could be produced in electronic format, e.g. in CD-ROM format or make the publication accessible through the SEAFDEC website. SEASOFIA 2017 In line with the directives given by the SEAFDEC Council, the Secretariat therefore plans to prepare the next SEASOFIA to be published in The following outline of SEASOFIA 2017 was proposed by SEAFDEC Secretariat and Departments: Topic Inputs Contributor Part I.
