Chair of the Asian Research Center Board Provides Advice Regarding Indonesian Capture Fisheries
Chair of the Asian Research Center Board, Prof. Neil Loneragan said that with the condition of Indonesia in the form of an archipelago, the management of capture fisheries in Indonesia is increasingly complex because of the many different fishing methods. There needs to be synergy between academics, government, business and NGOs in a good system.
This was conveyed by Prof. Neil in the Training-Workshop entitled "Management Data Strategy Evaluation for Data-Limited Fisheries" at IPB Science and Techno Park, Bogor (17-19 / 9). The event was held by the Department of Fisheries Resource Utilization (PSP), Faculty of Fisheries and Marine Sciences (FPIK) IPB University in collaboration with Murdoch University, The University of British Columbia, the Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Australia's Center for International Agricultural (ACIAR), The Crawford Fund, The German Development Bank (KFW) and the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS). The workshop was attended by 35 participants ranging from researchers from various universities, Marine Protected Area Form Marine National Park (MMAF), NGOs engaged in fisheries management.
According to Dr. Budy Wiryawan, Chair of the Organizing Committee, this workshop gathered researchers who had data to assess methods and evaluate management options for fisheries with limited data. It is hoped that through this activity selected research options related to sustainable fisheries management will be identified.
"This workshop will also provide an overview of the evaluation of management strategies and their application in terms of capture fisheries. Evaluate various data sources for managing fish stocks and valuing selected fish stocks. Identify current management arrangements and possible alternative management measures for each fish stock, produce draft reports on fisheries biology and management options for species. Study of selected species include tuna and skipjack, grouper, snapper, flying fish, yellow tail fish, sharks, and lobster and crab, "he said. (dh / zul)
