10 Fishery Improvement in Northeast Asia A Collaborative Effort to Bring Stakeholders Together For Success
11 About Ocean Outcomes We envision a future with healthy aquatic ecosystems, a plentiful and profitable seafood supply, and thriving fishing and fish farming communities. Fishery Improvement Projects Supply chain analysis Fishery assessments Traceability and IUU oceanoutcomes.org
12 Tokyo Bay Sea Perch Fishery Improvement Project oceanoutcomes.org
13 oceanoutcomes.org
14 Kaiko Bussan, Inc. Seafood wholesaler in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture Co-owned by two purse seine fishing companies, Daiden Maru Co.

15 FIP Deliverables Describe and assess current harvest strategy and evaluate potential improvements to make it more robust and precautionary Collect information to support stock monitoring, such as CPUE or catch samples Identify and develop a plan to monitor and manage potential encounters with ETP species Develop catch profiles of all species caught, including catch volumes Examine long-term objectives in the national fishery management system and develop precautionary approach if necessary Pilot a supply chain traceability system oceanoutcomes.org
16 oceanoutcomes.org
17 Elements of Success Vested fishers who understand that their business viability is directly linked to the health of their fishery Fishery managers who want to see community-based small scale fisheries succeed in Japan Retailers that are committed to ensuring that the seafood in their supply chain meets global sustainability standards. And if they don t, then the fishery needs to improve in order for sourcing to continue On the ground support for the fishers as they are improving A clearly communicated plan from the outset of the project, so that we re managing expectations oceanoutcomes.org
18 Chinese Red Swimming Crab Fishery Improvement Project oceanoutcomes.org

39 Ecuador mahi mahi FIP Panel: What Makes Fishery Improvement Projects Work? Boston Seafood Show March 19, 2017 Pablo Guerrero, WWF Ecuador
40 Characteristics of the fleet Artisanal longline fleet (3,300 boats) Operation model: associative fishing Wide range of operation Average annual production: 10 thousand tons SRP WWF by-catch Program SRP SRP
41 SCENARIO IN 2008 Scattered and scant information Complete ignorance about the actual impact of the fishery There was only one management measure (minimum size to protect juveniles) Very limited controls (6 inspectors) There was no plan
42 What has improved since 2010? Achievements under P1 (Stock condition) - Increase of inspectors (220), observers (25) - Improved processes of data collection and analysis of biological - fishery information - Training of national technicians - Establishment of a traceability system: Monitoring certificates, mobilization guides, database - Strengthening of scientific cooperation (IATTC) - Publication of studies Fuente: SRP
43 Achievements under P2 (Impact on the ecosystem) Entanglements and hookings of sea turtles were identified as the most important ecosystemic impact of the fishery Establishment of an observer program Training of fishers in good practices to mitigate bycatch Replacement of J hooks by circular hooks, modification to reduce entanglement in the longline Elimination of import tariffs for circular hooks WWF by-catch Program
44 Achievements under P3 (Effective Management) Ecuador has developed, adopted and revised the NPOA for the conservation of mahi mahi, as a national legal tool to organize the improvement of fishing activities. Since 2011, Ecuador has issued five ministerial agreements to formally adopt the mahi mahi NPOA, regulate the closure, minimum size of catch, limit fishing effort and adopt the observer program. Improvement of the control and monitoring system for the implementation of existing management measures.
45 Key elements that allowed the advance of the FIP - Key export product (Government and exporters interest) - Leadership SRP (Champions) - Political will to promote MSC certification - Public support demonstrations - Insertion of the topic in IATTC (Regional Scientific Cooperation) - Permanent monitoring, adaptive management WWF
46 Thanks Fuente: SRP
