SEAFDEC Training Department (SEAFDEC/TD) organized the “Regional Training on Traceability and Effective Management Tools for Fish and Fishery Products in Southeast Asia” from 1 to 3 October 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Training aimed to promote the traceability and effective management tools for fish and fishery products to eliminate IUU fishing and impart the knowledge and sharing the lessons learned about existing traceability of fish and fishery products systems including effective management tools inside and outside the region. Forty-two participants from ASEAN Member States (AMSs) who engage and conduct traceability of fish and fishery products attended the Training. At the end, the participants were expected to understand the traceability of fish and fishery products to eliminate IUU fishing in Southeast Asia including increased knowledge of the traceability of fish and fishery products from expertise inside and outside the region and skills through lessons learned. The Training is an activity under the project “ASEAN-JICA Capacity Building Project on IUU Fishing Countermeasures in Southeast Asia”.
The ASEAN-JICA Capacity Building Project on IUU Fishing Countermeasures in Southeast Asia project is an agreement on technical cooperation between ASEAN and the Government of Japan (the ASEAN-JICA cooperation framework) which is implemented together with SEAFDEC/TD. The main aim is to enhance the capacity of AMSs to prevent and combat IUU fishing through a series of training and/or workshop activities.
