ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020 (Full Version) ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020 (Full Version) Background The fisheries sector has been widely accepted as one of the important sectors providing substaintial contribution to food security for countries in the Southeast Asian region. With the objective of addressing important issues pertaining to the sustainable development of fisheries, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) co-organized in November 2001, the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the New Millennium: "Fish for the People". During that time, the "Resolution" and "Plan of Action" on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security for the ASEAN Region were adopted by the ministers responsible for fisheries of the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Member Countries, and since then such instruments had been used as policy framework and guiding principle in the development of sustainable fisheries of the region. However, in view of the deteriorating state of fishery resources and the emerging fisheries related issues and initiatives during the past decade which need to be addressed, ASEAN and SEAFDEC would be organizing the "ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security Towards 2020", scheduled from 13 to 17 June 2011 in Bangkok, Thailand. Based on the progress in the implementation of the "Resolution" and "Plan of Action" adopted in 2001, the "Fish for the People 2020" Conference is expected to further address the priority issues that are envisaged to impede the sustainable contribution of fisheries to food security in the region. It is also expected that the Conference will come up with the regional policy framework and guiding principle in achieving sustainable fisheries for food security for the coming decades corresponding to the changing environment. Objective The Conference aims to develop the "Decade Resolution and Plan of Action on Sustainable Fisheries for Food Security in the ASEAN Region (Towards 2020)" by addressing concerns on the fisheries situation and issues that may impede the sustainable fisheries development and contribution of fisheries to food security, as well as the well-being of people in the Southeast Asian region. Date and Venue The Conference will be held from 13 to 17 June 2011 at the Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok Hotel, Thailand. http://www.ffp2020.org
The Technical Session Outcome of The ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference The Technical Session Outcome of The ASEAN-SEAFDEC Conference	Introduction of SEAFDEC (Japanese Version) Introduction of SEAFDEC (Japanese Version) The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) is an intergovernmental organization established in December 1967 for the purpose of promoting sustainable fisheries development in the region. Its current Member Countries are Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Japan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Representing the Member Countries is the Council of Directors, the policy-making body of SEAFDEC. The chief administrator of SEAFDEC is the Secretary-General whose office, the Secretariat is based in Bangkok, Thailand. In April 2009, during the 41st Meeting of the SEAFDEC Council, the Council adopted the new SEAFDEC Program Framework, including its mandate " to develop and manage the fisheries potential of the region by rational utilization of the resources for providing food security and safety to the people and alleviating poverty through transfer of new technologies, research and information dissemination activities". In achieving the objectives and mandate of the Center, four technical Departments were established to undertake various technical disciplines of fisheries, namely: Training Department (TD) Established in 1968 in Thailand, TD has been focusing on the development of modern fishery techniques to aid regional fisheries in a more sustainable approach through the promotion of responsible fishing technologies and practices, exploration of resources, and advancing the coastal fisheries management approach. With the new TD Strategic Plan endorsed in 2006, TD's structure and activities have been adjusted to emphasize on the promotion of coastal fisheries management to ensure responsible resource utilization and sustainable livelihoods of coastal communities; the promotion of off-shore fisheries through the development of best fishing practices and energy optimization to ensure stable supply of food fish and reduce fishing pressure in coastal areas. Marine Fisheries Research Department (MFRD) Established in 1969 in Singapore, MFRD is responsible for promoting, undertaking, and coordinating research in fisheries post-harvest technology and furthering the development of the fish processing industry in the region. It's task includes research and development of fishery post-harvest technology and practices, which includes fish processing technology to maximize utilization of harvested fish and enhancing the quality of fishery products. MFRD also develops technology-based analytical methods to assess seafood safety and quality and publishes several manuals as reference materials for Member Countries. Aquaculture Department (AQD) AQD was established in 1973 in the Philippines. AQD has carried out research, technology generation, training and information dissemination on a wide range of aquaculture disciplines, including management of broodstock and seed quality improvement, promotion of responsible and environment-friendly aquaculture, diagnosis and control of aquaculture diseases, aquaculture for stock enhancement and culture of aquatic species under international concerns. The aquaculture commodities covered by AQD include fishes, shrimps, mud crabs, molluscs, and seaweeds. In addition, AQD also promotes good aquaculture practices and effective management of aquatic resources to support rural development and to alleviate poverty. Marine Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (MFRDMD) MFRDMD was established in 1992 in Malaysia with its mandate to conduct activities on marine fisheries resources. Focus activities of the Department are on biological studies of commercially important fish species, resource assessment and management, and conservation and management of aquatic species under international concerns, e.g. sharks and marine turtles. MFRDMD also implements activities to support Member Countries in information gathering of inland capture fisheries, and the use of indicators for sustainable development and management of fisheries.
