FISHERIES IMPROVEMENT ACTION PLAN- UPDATE APRIL 2014
Table 1: Action Plan Overview
FISHERY NAME: Indonesian Handline Tuna fishery; Yellowfin and Skipjack tuna
START DATE: Nov 2012
FISHERY LOCATION: Indonesian Central and
Western Pacific
END DATE (anticipated): Dec 2016
FISHING METHOD: Handline
PROJECT LEADERS:
IMPROVEMENTS RECOMMENDED BY:
ANOVA (Fishing & Living), IMACS (USAID), MDPI
Moody Marine Ltd: Pre Assessment Results
Poseidon Consultants: Pre-assessment results and progress
review
OVERVIEW OF THE ACTION PLAN: This is a working document which means it should be updated regularly as action points are successfully implemented, conditions
change within existing plans and new ones develop or become increasingly important.
This action Plan is taken from the view of ANOVA, a private company, who is involved in export of Handline YFT.
ANOVA sources fish from 17 + landing sites throughout Indonesia and a data collection system has been implemented within ANOVAs supply chain in 16 landing
sites in order to gain knowledge on this fishery. Additionally, by active involvement with local DKP, formal and informal data collection from suppliers and
middlemen and specifically geared interviews, an in depth profile of each port has been gained and from this it was possible to determine what % of the total
fishery ANOVAs supply chains employ.
The data collected follows a similar format to that collected by other institutes currently involved in data collection in Indonesia and therefore improves and
enhance the understanding which exists regarding the stock and will lead to improve sustainable and a precautionary approach to its exploitation in the close
future. This information has been made available to relevant government bodies and regional RFMOs and is being used to exhibit the fishery as a sustainable one,
to an assessment process, which will aim to gain MSC certification for the fishery.

STATUS
ACTIONS
Long term objectives are articulated in the
Fisheries Master Plan, and supporting
Indonesian legislation. These objectives
include reference to stock sustainability and
the precautionary approach to fisheries
management (PAFM). However, Indonesia
needs to also apply the ecosystem approach to
fisheries management (EAFM) to be consistent
with MSC principles 1 and 2. Both PAFM and
EAFM should be core principles applied within
the National Fisheries Strategy, and explicit
within the National Tuna Management Plan. It
is also important to ensure that International
actions are not only supported at national level
but carry to provincial governance.
The government must be seen to be
adhering to at very least beginning
to adhere to their responsibilities
which they have to WCPFC, IOTC
with regards data collection, ETP
interaction etc. The following
initiatives have been taken:
Familiarisation/socialisation training
on the Code of Conduct for
Responsible Fisheries (CCRF);
-Preparations for a National Plan of
Action for Illegal, Unregulated and
Unreported (IUU) Fishing to be
implemented in 2004;
-Preparations of a national strategy
for the implementation of the CCRF;
-Preparations for the establishment
of a management authority for
endangered species;
-Preparations for implementation in
2004 of the NPOA for reducing
catches of seabirds in long-line
fisheries;
Preparations in 2004 for the NPOA
for conservation and management
of sharks;
-Final arrangements on the 2003
NPOA for management of fishing
capacity to be introduced to fishers
in 2004 prior to implementation.
 Note all of these are movement
forward but implementation is not
occurring in many of the examples.
Also contradiction may be seen to
be occurring between intention and
actual action.
Negative incentives should be
removed.
WWF has published a review of incentives
which will be subject to consultation in 2014.
Fuel subsisidies have been removed for the
industrial fishing sector (>30GT)

STATUS
The Fisheries Law (Law 31/2004) lays down a
requirement to implement a Fisheries
Management Plan without specifying whether
this should be for fishery specific or not. MMAF
has gone through two draftings of a tuna

version. The plan is not fishery specific and
makes some distinctions on Archipelagic

MMAF is also in the process of strengthening
its decision-making systems. Decisions are now
required to take account of scientific advice
and monitoring processes are in place to
ensure that conservation principles are
followed. Incentives may be seen as distorting
the application of management policy. These
have been subject to recent review and
evidence suggests that negative incentives are
likely to be eroded.
Enforcement systems in Indonesia have been
upgraded through provision of training to
PSDKP officers, a strengthening of the penalty
system and application of VMS to vessels > 30
GT. However, the compliance system for the
tuna sector does not appear to have been
tested.
