Abstract

This Terminal Report was prepared by the Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (SEAFDEC/MFRDMD) under the project “Implementation and Assessment of the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action for the Management of Fishing Capacity”, which was implemented from 2024 to 2026. The Project involved participation and contribution of SEAFDEC/MFRDMD, SEAFDEC Training Department (SEAFDEC/TD), the SEAFDEC Secretariat, and the participating ASEAN Member States (AMS), namely Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Viet Nam.

The purpose of this Project Terminal Report is to compile and share the key findings, outcomes, and lessons learned from the Fishing Capacity Project. This report can serve as a reference document for AMS, SEAFDEC Department, and other relevant stakeholders in supporting the planning and implementation of future regional projects on the management of fishing capacity. The report also incorporates, where appropriate, the inputs, experiences, and recommendations provided by the participating AMS. Following its completion, this Terminal Report will be disseminated to AMS and SEAFDEC Departments, as well as relevant national and regional agencies and other stakeholders, as appropriate, to facilitate the sharing of knowledge, experiences, and lessons learned from the Project.
