Area 71 (Pacific, Western Central)

Overview

What is a Prospective FIP?
Prospective FIPs intend to meet the requirements for active FIPs within one year. These projects are posted on FisheryProgress to help users identify opportunities to support developing FIPs and prevent the start of duplicate FIPs. Prospective FIPs are not yet demonstrating progress toward sustainability.

The Taiwan Tuna Longline Association (TTLA) plays a crucial role in supporting over 500 tuna longline member vessels in Taiwan. As the primary agency responsible for registering annual fishing areas for fishers according to Taiwan's fishing regulations, TTLA arranges logistics, facilitates catch reporting, and assists in obtaining fishing licenses. Independent longline vessels have come together and are now working with TTLA and Ocean Outcomes in a new project to improve environmental sustainability and social responsibility to meet international market requirements. 

The TTLA Pacific Ocean FIP aims to improve fishery management strategies, environmental oversight, and social responsibility on participating Taiwanese longline tuna fishing vessels, to prepare those vessels for Marine Stewardship Council certification. The FIP targets Pacific Ocean Albacore, Bigeye, and Yellowfin tunas. While the Pacific stock status of these species are currently not considered overfished, they lack robust precautionary harvest strategies and the tools to limit the risk of overfishing. Regional Fishery Management Organizations have been making progress on the development and adoption of such harvest strategies, but have yet to fully implement them. 

In addition to reducing environmental impacts, there are also opportunities to improve worker conditions and labor practices in the fisheries through the FIP. These opportunities for environmental and social improvements will be identified in the FIP development process and then addressed through the FIP’s implementation. Potential areas of focus include reducing bycatch, supporting new science-management measures, improving vessel working conditions, and expanding access to materials and trainings for crew.

This FIP is part of a larger effort O2 is pursuing across Northeast Asia to help lead improvement projects and certification in the longline tuna fishing sector.

Overview

This FIP belongs to the newly formed Indonesian Purse Seine Association (APSI - Asosiasi Purse Seine Indonesia). This FIP operated in Indonesia FMA 715 and 716, part of the WCPO stock. 

Indonesia Purse Seine tuna fishery is one of the fisheries that need to start the improvement programs as other tuna fishing gears already implement their FIPs in the national scale. Although it starts in 715 and 716 in the beginning, the association also aiming to have the FIP implemented in other areas across the country so it can become nationwide FIP in the future, hence the improvement will be more impactful and benefiting all participants and stakeholders in the fishery.

The association established in early 2023 with Vision: "The Indonesian Purse Seine industry is advanced, competitive, and sustainable. The fisheries governance for Purse Seine gear is strengthened and a conductive business climate supports sustainable Purse Seine industry operations.

The vision then being ellaborate into three missions as follow:

1. Build and strengthen relationships between stakeholders in Purse Seine Fisheries and lead the development of sustainable and fair policies together with but not exclusive to association members, the Indonesian government, as well as Non- Government Organisations.

 2. Increase the capacity of the association and its members to actively contribute to data collection and compliance with fishing regulations in order to strengthen sustainable fisheries management in
Indonesia.

3. Elevate the competitiveness of the Indonesian Purse Seine sector by being a national and international proactive leader for driving forward, promoting, and marketing responsible Purse Seine fishing and products.

Overview

The Philippines blue swimming crab is a cosmopolitan species in the coastal waters in the Philippines. This fishery is a significant sub-sector of the crustacean fishery. More than 90% of the catch is from municipal waters, caught within 15 km from the coastline by fishing boats weighing less than 3 gross tonnes. Entangling nets and crab trap/pot are generally used as fishing gears. The stock is steadily declining in volume and size as a result of the depletion of the spawning biomass. Hence, it is the aim of the FIP to rebuild the fishery to a sustainable level in the area of the Visayan Sea and nearby waters. 

The FIP works in an integrated approach through (1) collaborative work with government and NGOs, academia and other legal entities; (2) an active information and education campaign; (3) supply chain management; and (4) development of projects and policies that promote sustainability of blue swimming crabs. 

The MSC Fishery Standard is the guiding framework of the FIP. Priority projects and initiatives include assessment of stock status, stock enhancement initiatives (establishment of hatcheries and installation of holding cages for egg-bearing crabs), promotion of ecologically-sound gears, campaign awareness programs, capacity building of local communities and increasing support for the implementation of the Philippine blue swimming crab management plan of the government.

The FIP is being initiated by The Philippine Association of Crab Processors, Inc. (PACPI), a group of blue swimming crab processing and exporting companies that operate mainly within the Visayan area. The association was founded in May 2009 in an effort to foster a good relationship among the crab processing sector and to support initiatives promoting blue swimming crab sustainability in the country. At present, 4 of the 8 major companies operating in the Philippines are members of PACPI, representing ninety percent (90%) of the blue swimming crab industry, and are actively providing financial support in the implementation of blue swimming crab sustainability projects. The member companies of PACPI include:

  • Byrd International Seafoods Cebu
  • Central Seafoods, Inc.
  • Phil-Union Frozen Foods, Inc.
  • RGE Agridev Corporation

Overview

Octopus is an important export seafood commodity in Indonesia with the country listed as one of the big four octopus producers globally. This fishery is an artisanal fishery, nevertheless, it significantly contributes to the community's livelihood. Sulawesi waters (Fisheries Management Areas 713, 714, and 715/FAO Area 71) cover more than 50% of the octopus national product, it produces high income for the fishers, but the detailed information about this fishery is not well known, i.e. the condition of the stock, unregulated, unreported and value-loss indication. The FIP aims to emphasize co-management among the stakeholders by developing adequate scientific research to support the sustainability of the stock and ecosystem in collaboration with universities and research entities, as a basis for management action at both national (through national octopus fisheries management plan with the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries) and grass-root level with the community. This combination is expected to strengthen community participation in fishery management leading to improvement below the water in 2027.

The octopus fishery in the Unit of Assessment (UoA) is dominated by traditional fishing gears such as handline and spear. Fishers use small vessels under 1 Gross Tonnage (GT), and in some cases fish without vessels by gleaning the octopus near the shoreline during the low tide. This FIP is estimated to cover 300 fishers in several locations: Wakatobi, Selayar, Banggai Laut - Kepulauan, Luwuk, and Tojo Una-Una Regencies. This FIP is led by Yayasan Pesisir Lestari (YPL) and Blue Ventures, which are NGOs/CSOs that support community-led fisheries management: JAPESDA, FORKANI, FONEB, KOMANANGI, LINI, SFP, fishers group within the UoA. This FIP aims to link the grassroots movement with the national-level stakeholders and is expected to catalyze improvement by achieving the objectives of this FIP.

Overview

This FIP has entered into the full assessment process for MSC certification and remains active on FisheryProgress, but reporting requirements are reduced. The FIP no longer reports on environmental progress but will confirm its full assessment status at each progress report due date. The FIP will continue meet the social responsibility progress reporting requirements until it achieves MSC certification.

Date Entered Full Assessment: Apr 2023

In Full Assessment Link

The fishery being assessed is the Pacific Tuna Longline Fishery targeting albacore (Thunnus alalunga), bigeye (Thunnus obesus) and yellowfin (Thunnus albacares) tuna across all regions of the Pacific Ocean.

The Pacific Tuna Longline Fishery aims to meet the rising global demand for tuna in a sustainable manner by assuring catches do not exceed sustainable levels, promoting the ecosystem based approach to fisheries management and strengthening policy and governance systems in the region.

Pacific Tuna Longline Fishery goals:

  • Sustainable Fish Stocks – To ensure tuna and other primary species catches across the Pacific Ocean do not exceed sustainable levels
  • Minimising Environmental Impacts – To promote the ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management
  • Effective Management – To strengthen governance systems in the WCPFC, IATTC and Pacific Tuna Longline fishery.

This FIP was previously part of the Pacific Ocean Tuna - longline (Thai Union) FIP. Half of the UoAs (Vanuatu flagged vessels) are now within the MSC assessment due to the progress they have made. Due to this, the FIP profile was split to allow for the remaining fleet (Chinese flagged vessels) to continue on with their FIP.

This FIP has now entered MSC assessment, the ACDR is published in the supporting documents section and the link to the Track a Fishery profile can be found here.

Overview

Groupers and snappers are considered important fisheries commodities in Indonesia, both ecologically and economically. These fish are generally caught by small-scale fishers that operate in nearby reefs, thus undertaking sustainable grouper and snapper fisheries is of paramount importance for their continuous supply. As one of the important sites for grouper and snapper fisheries nationwide, in 2018 the West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province enacted a sustainable grouper and snapper management through a Governor Decree, particularly for the Saleh Bay area. Since then, monitoring and evaluation have been conducted to ensure the management plan for snapper and grouper achieved its target. From the monitoring, it is known that two main species have dominated the fishery and became the export commodities, i.e. Malabar blood snapper (Lutjanus malabaricus) and Leopard grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) which are caught by Handline and Bottom Longline.

The grouper and snapper fisheries management in Saleh Bay has also included several regulations, such as minimum legal size, hook and mesh size, and integration with MPA management. Since the fishery targeted two species that are small-scale, the fishers are not subject to license and permit, they only need to register their boats with the government. To ensure its sustainability along with market value, the FIP will address the rebuilding stock strategy, draft harvest control rules, and (partially) manage the habitat/ecosystem (e.g. through MPA management effectiveness improvement).
