Policy briefTechnical plan for marine protected areas to support fisheries management in Fisheries Management Area 714 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Fisheries Management Area (FMA) 714 covers the Tolo Bay and Banda Sea waters and five provinces, which are East Nusa Tenggara, Southeast Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, Maluku, and North Maluku. The utilization rate of fish resources in FMA 714 has reached fully exploited for five groups of fish resources and over-exploited for four other groups of fishes. As of 2022, FMA 714 encompasses a minimum of 44 Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with varying types and management statuses, with the total area covered by the MPAs in FMA 714 approximately 7 135 383.57 hectares. The conservation targets in the designated MPAs of FMA 714 include the protection of critical ecosystem and several specific fish species. In addition, FMA 714 is also home to spawning grounds and breeding grounds for yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares) and is reserved as a limited fishing zone. The establishment of a conservation area has yet to show its contribution to supporting sustainable fisheries management. This is mainly due to the lack of effective management of the conservation areas in FMA 714. Several issues were identified, for example: the protection of important fish resource habitats in FMA 714 is not yet optimal because most of the conservation areas are still in reserved stage; the decline of fish stock in FMA 714, such as scads, snapper and squid, likely links to the inoptimal implementation of the closure system in FMA 714 and should be reinforced with additional management measures such as enhanced surveillance and law enforcement, stricter permit regulations, and regular monitoring and evaluation. Unsustainable fishing practices still exist in FMA 714 and there are no technical arrangements (input control and output control) at the fishing zone in the conservation area. Moreover, the Conservation Area (MPA) Network is not yet operational and the protection of yellowfin tuna spawning grounds in FMA 714 has not been effectively monitored. The policy brief offers some recommendations to address the above issues. -
Book (series)Report and documentation of the Workshop on Marine Protected Areas and Fisheries Management: Review of Issues and Considerations 2007
Also available in:
No results found.Marine protected areas (MPAs) are being increasingly advocated or conceived as fisheries management instruments. The numerous advantages of MPAs, particularly in conjunction with other management tools, have been widely recognized. However, the limitations and drawbacks have also been noted. To improve the role of MPAs in fisheries management it was recommended that FAO develop technical guidelines on the design, implementation and review of MPAs. The Workshop on Marine Protected Areas and Fi sheries Management: Review of Issues and Considerations, which took place from 12 to 14 June, was the initial activity in a project that will provide information, assistance and guidance on the role of marine protected areas in fisheries management. Experts from a wide variety of disciplines - biological and ecological, social and economic, governance, and legal fields - were convened to review and characterize MPAs as a fisheries management tool. This publication contains the report of the w orkshop, key points agreed upon by participants and the commissioned background documents. The work done during this meeting and the background documents developed for it will serve to inform future activities of this project. -
