Brief Project Description (300 words max) In every country in the Southeast Asian Region, efforts are now focusing on the promotion of sustainable fisheries management and countermeasures against IUU fishing. The recognition on the importance of fishing management schemes such as fishing license, boats registration and etc. as effective measures to promote sustainable use and the long-term conservation of marine living resources has been increasing in the. Following the direction of Resolution and Plan of Action, the SEAFDEC Training Department (TD) has been implementing the project titled Promotion of Countermeasures to reduce IUU Fishing, to enhance collaboration of SEAFDEC Member in reducing IUU fishing in the. This project consists of: 1) Promotion and development of the al fishing vessels record (RFVR); 2) Strengthening of Port State Measures and other surveillance measures in the ; and 3) Promotion of Information Material. 2. Background and Justification Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing can take place in all capture fisheries. Efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks are undermined by IUU fishing, which can lead to the collapse of fisheries or can seriously impair efforts to rebuild fish stocks that have already been depleted. This may result in the loss of both short- and long-term social and economic opportunities and could have negative impacts on food security. The Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020 which was adopted in ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference Fish for the People 2020 Adaptation to a Changing Environment in Bangkok, Thailand during June 2011emphazises on: 1) strengthening al and national policy and legislation to implement measures and activities to combat IUU fishing, including the development and implementation of national plans of action to combat IUU fishing, and promoting the awareness and understanding of international and al instruments and agreements through 1 For an example of 5 years project starting from , but in case of new project then the starting year should be from

2 information dissemination campaigns, 2) establishing and strengthening al and sub-al coordination on fisheries management and efforts to combat IUU fishing including the development of al/sub-al Monitoring, Control and Surveillance (MCS) networks, 3) facilitating consultative dialogue among fisheries legal officers to share, at the sub-al/al level, perspectives of the respective legal and regulatory framework in terms of developing MCS-networks and to take action to combat IUU fishing, and 4) building up capacity among Member, including functions for al and sub-al cooperation, to effectively meet the requirements of port state measures and flag state responsibilities. Following the direction of Resolution and Plan of Action, the SEAFDEC Training Department (TD) has been implementing the project titled Promotion of Countermeasures to reduce IUU Fishing in coordination and cooperation with SEAFDEC Member to reduce IUU fishing activities in the. 3.
