1 Asia Pacific & South American Squid Supply Chain Roundtable Sam Grimley & Pedro Ferreiro Sustainable Fisheries Partnership March 20 th, 2017
2 The SR Concept Meeting Agenda 2:00 Squid Supply Chain Roundtable (SR) Introduction Asia-Pacific & South America Squid SRs review Sam Grimley & Pedro Ferreiro, SFP Merging both SRs; is this feasible? 2:30 Improvement efforts update Chinese Squid FIP update Han Han, China Blue Sustainability Institute Japanese Flying Squid update Songlin Wang, Ocean Outcomes & Dominique Gautier, Sea Farms/Seafresh Group Peruvian Jumbo Flying Squid Dario Alvites, PeruPez & Stephanie Bradley, WWF Chilean Jumbo Flying Squid Marcele Moene US East Coast Squid update Jeff Kaelin, Lund s Fisheries 3:25 Discussion and questions 2
3 The SR Concept What is a Supply Chain Roundtable (SR)? A platform for first-tier supplier participants to come together in a precompetitive, collaborative environment to monitor the sustainability of fisheries in a specific fishery/aquaculture sector or region. Opportunity to review the performance of improvement projects (both for fisheries and aquaculture), and address any issues hindering improvement progress. Not always an SFP-led initiative Not just an annual meeting in Boston, Brussels, etc. Includes regular technical briefings, updates, as well as development of annual SR goals and objectives. 3

8 Asia Pacific Squid SR Asia Pacific Squid SR Background September 2014 Meeting of North American and EU importers, updates on regional squid fisheries, improvement efforts, and target fisheries March Letter sent to Chinese fishing authorities requesting assistance to improve Chinese squid fishery, co-signed by 12 NA and EU buyers (SR Participants) and 4 Chinese exporters June China Blue Sustainability Institute facilitated a meeting in Shantou, China with the fishing authorities and 40 stakeholders to discuss sustainability issues, included Shantou Fisheries Bureau, local researchers, exporters/processors, MSC-China, etc. Funded by 6 foreign importers (ongoing) Sea Farms/Sea Fresh with Ocean Outcomes launch Pacific flying squid improvement effort 2016/7 - China Blue developed and revised FIP workplan for Chinese loliqo squid, while SFP coordinated FIP fund raising with NA/EU buyers 8
9 Asia Pacific Squid SR Asia Pacific Squid SR Challenges Complex supply chains and sourcing, often mixing of source fisheries Currently no MSC certified squid fisheries globally, limited sustainability assessments Domestic demand for sustainable products limited in producer countries Management and data collection challenges (ex. TAC vs effort control) Limited resources for stakeholder engagement/fip implementation in producer countries 9
10 SR Objectives for 2017 Asia Pacific Squid SR Ensure updated Chinese squid FIP work plan is fully implemented. Continue to monitor and support the Pacific flying squid improvement effort. Continue to identify squid fisheries where SR participant leverage exists (ex. India), and support improvements. Global Squid SR development. 10
11 South American Squid Supply Chain Roundtable Update
12 SAS SR Definition SAS SR Fisheries identification Argentine Shortfin Squid (Illex argentinus) Argentina Patagonian Squid (Loligo gahi) Falkland Islands Patagonian Squid (Loligo gahi) Peru Jumbo Flying Squid (Dosidicus gigas) Peru Jumbo Flying Squid (Dosidicus gigas) Chile Facts about these Fisheries/Species Several stocks and multiple fishing gears 3 species representing between % of world squid catches (57 % in 2014)*. Peru, Chile, Argentina & Falklands landings between % of global catches*. * FAO FIGIS data base
13 SAS SR Steps in Spain Partner with Congalsa (key company) in 2014 in Spain. Public presentation at SFP EU FF st Promotional meeting around Brussels nd Follow up meeting in Vigo with CONXEMAR association on July 2016,(40-50 % re-exported. EU main focus) SAS SR setting agreement signed in CONXERMAR tradeshow (4-6 October 2016).
14 Industry participants Since CONXEMAR (Oct. 2016)
15 Short term (year 1) Current objectives 1. SustainabilityEvaluations development (FishSource profiles). 2. Peruvian Jumbo Flying Squid FIP design and implementation (MOUagreement between SNI, PRODUCE and fishing industry) Midterm (year 2-3) 1. Peruvian Jumbo Flying Squid FIP monitoring and regional expansion. 2. Improvement needs evaluation and improvement initiatives design andsetting L. gahi & I. argentinus. Longterm (year +4) 1. Improvement initiatives monitoring and regional expansion 2. Improvement of sharedfisheries/stocks management
16 SAS SR Challenges 1. Lack of publically availability of sustainability evaluations 2. Influence of markets where sustainability today is not a mayor concern like Asia, southern EU countries. 3. Large fleet and catches, and lack of management in international waters. 4. Historical political disagreements between nations sharing stocks (Argentina-Falklands and Peru-Chile). 5. Traditional stock assessment models have not been designed for such a short living species (1 2 years)
17 SAS SR Opportunities 1. Increasing demand in sustainability (EU, North America & Latin America). 2. Producing & processing companies more willing to improve sustainability for marketing reasons. 3. Alignment of interests with South East Asia Squid SR. 4. Squid exports in SA represent a great opportunity for aligning Industry interest in starting FIPs. 5. Global example and key for industries not used to working in sustainability.
18 The SR Concept A Global Squid SR? Given the overlap in sourcing and the shared sustainability issues across Asia-Pacific and South American squid fisheries, would this be more efficient? 18
19 Improving the Sustainability of the Japanese Flying Squid Fishery in China Further Scoping Needs and Opportunities Asia-Pacific Squid & North American Squid Supplier Roundtable March 20th 2017 Boston
20 Project background Dec Mar. 2016: Sea Farms Ltd & its UK partners commissioned pre-assessment by Ocean Outcomes (O2) of Japanese flying squid (JFS - Todarodes pacificus) in the Yellow and East China Seas. It confirmed the lack of data for the Chinese fishery and the weaknesses of the fishery management. Oct : O2, Sea Farms Ltd. & partners (M&S, Sainsbury s, Tesco and WWF-UK) conducting further research & scoping for FIP project design - three major goals: Better understanding of changing Yellow & East China Seas JFS fishery Catch composition. Establishing a robust verification mechanism for origin of squid landings Identify precise fishing areas. Specific recommendations on improvement needs-design and comprehensive description of major stakeholders and roles in potential FIP. oceanoutcomes.org
21 Japanese flying squid and its distribution in the East China Sea and Yellow Sea Preliminary biomass estimate = 29,913 mt (continental East China Sea - Song et al. 2009); Short-living, highly migratory, wide distribution in Northern FAO 61; The Yellow Sea and East China Sea stock (winter cohort) shared by China and South Korea; Stock not regularly assessed & no catch accounting for individual squid species. Image from Honda Cooperation Migration route of JFS in the East China and Yellow Sea (modified from Song et al. 1999) oceanoutcomes.org
22 Further findings in 2016 Main fishing area & time = N. Yellow Sea in Sep-Oct Single or Pair trawlers; engine > 700 HP; on-board freezing Trip length = 2 weeks to several months; transshipment is common JFS from Yellow Sea in autumn ideal for processing & export: optimal size ( g); Mid-water trawl not selective - yet to clarify catch composition & questions about bottom contact/impact No harvest strategy beyond summer fishing moratorium. National regulation on mesh size of fishing gears poorly implemented in practice. oceanoutcomes.org
23 Mark Regulated areas Fishing closure period* Bohai Sea to North 12:00AM 1 A Zone st May ~ Yellow Sea 12:00AM 1 st September B Zone South Yellow Sea to North East China Sea 12:00AM 1 st May ~ 12:00AM 16 th September C Zone South East China Sea (26 30 N) until marine jurisdiction line between Guangdong/Fujian Province (MJGF) 12:00AM 1 st May ~ 12:00AM 16 th August D Zone MJGF to 12th parallel north of South China Sea 12:00AM 1 st May ~ 12:00AM 16 th August A... D... C B... D
24 Roadmap to improving the JFS fishery management under the Chinese jurisdiction Government support (all levels) is essential - strong political will & actions will be critical. Shandong Marine Resource and Environment Research Institute (SMRERI) has been identified as a key advisor to Provincial Government; Shanghai Ocean University (SOU) key to Central Government. Three logical steps planned during to catalyze government actions: Step 1. Make the case: joint effort from critical mass of major international buyers, national seafood association (CAPPMA) and SMRERI - develop a report elaborating management issues and social and economic importance of the Yellow Sea JFS fishery. Step 2. Secure commitment from Shandong Provincial government: advise provincial Ocean and Fishery Department to allocate resources to SMRERI for improved monitoring of the JFS fishery in the north Yellow Sea beginning 2018 to guide sustainable management. Step 3. Secure Central Government support: Engage SOU to convince Central Government to take JFS as a national fishery management. (TAC) pilot to secure collaboration of other two provinces. oceanoutcomes.org
25 Larger opportunity Ultimately, improved management of shared JFS stock will need collaboration of P.R. China & R. Korea; Current bilateral fishing agreement needs updating to prioritize JFS and include more sustainability mandates; FIP NGOs, leading industries, researchers from two sides in good position to start creating enabling conditions for both national governments to collaborate further. oceanoutcomes.org
