Descripción
This March 2020 edition of theISLME Newsletter tells about the issues and actions taken in order to manage marine and fisheries resources in Indonesia and Timor-Leste context. For example, the Government of Indonesia, with the support of FAO, held a stakeholders meeting to discuss the Harvest Strategy of economic species and to inaugurate the operation of Fisheries Management Area Management body.
Until March 2020, the ISLME project team had facilitated the involvement of parties to take part in research and analyze the marine and fisheries issues in the ISLME region. Universities, ministries, provincial and district/city government working units participated in the series of activities mentioned in this newsletter. Findings and recommendations from the results of this research and capacity building programs are important for the Government to develop action plans for the management of fisheries resources related to ISLME.
The Newsletter Vol. 1/March 2020 highlights main activities conducted during the implementation of ISLME Project, such as Fishery Survey in Timor-Leste, drafting Timor-Leste Aquaculture Decree-Law, and its direction. This edition also covers stories from the field such as the adoption of e-logbook for small scale fisheries in North Java, FAO collaboration with UNRAM to assess lobster fisheries status in FMA 573, and also, the result of ISLME Project Facilitation including EAFM training and workshops. Findings and recommendations are stated in this newsletter for follow up.
In addition, the Governments of Indonesia and Timor-Leste have taken the initiative to fill the gaps in the ISLME area through a series of capacity building programs. Content and messages in this newsletter are expected to be known and heard by the partners, government, universities, NGOs, community groups, private sectors in Indonesia and Timor-Leste and the global community in general. These partners, institutions or communities are the targets of this March newsletter.
