Description
This RTC is a key component of the project titled “Implementation and Assessment of the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action (RPOA) for the Management of Fishing Capacity”, which is generously funded by the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF). The project involves close collaboration with government agencies responsible for fisheries management across all ASEAN Member States (AMSs).
Running from April,2024 to March 2026, this two-year project aims to strengthen regional cooperation and enhance integration of fisheries information systems/mechanisms within AMSs. Through the implementation of RPOA-Capacity in selected pelagic fisheries, we hope to achieve greater resource sustainability and environmental resilience.
Recognizing the urgent need to place 100 percent of fishery stocks under effective management, we must accelerate efforts to reverse unsustainable fishing practices, combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing, and address the persistent thre at and mitigate overfishing.
