Access to relevant and sufficient data on the trawl fisheries in the partner countries is critical for the success of REBYC-II CTI. Appropriate data allows for the generation of the information and knowledge necessary to improve local management of trawl fisheries and to monitor the impact of management measures. Further, the lessons from trawl fisheries management, whether successful or not, will become important inputs in the formulation of guidelines and policy advice for more sustainable resource governance. Because each project partner country has its own data collection method and format, a regional workshop will be convened to discuss and agree on data collection processes to generate the necessary understanding about the biological, ecological, social and economic aspects of the trawl fishery including monitoring the impact of any management measures.
The project takes an adaptive co-management approach that uses data and information to assess lessons learnt and guide future interventions. For the formulation of initial management plans (or revision of current management plans), existing data and information will be the primary sources of knowledge, including both local and scientific knowledge.

The Essential Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) Training Course was conducted in Crowne Plaza Hotel in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea from 06-10 July 2015. It has twenty one (21) participants coming from the National Fisheries Authority, Provincial and District Fishery Offices and NGO in Papua New Guinea. It was a five-day training course with the objectives of providing full understanding on the concept and need for an EAFM and teaching participants skills and knowledge to develop, implement and monitor an “EAFM plan” to better manage their fisheries. As per agreed allocation of effort, each of the three trainers facilitated four to five sessions of the 17-session course. However, all trainers supported each other through the entire course implementation which included tasks for preparing daily materials, consolidating daily feedback from participants and adjusting, when possible, the succeeding sessions to consider those feedback, assisting participants in group work, and coordinating and working with the resource person. A combination of power point presentations, group activities, role-playing exercises, and planning preparation activities were used to make the participants learn, understand, and be motivated in applying EAFM to their fisheries work in the country. Along the entire course, participants who were grouped into two practice groups, prepared elements of a draft EAFM plan for their chosen geography and fishery system. At the end of the course, each group presented their sample EAFM plan and resource person and trainers provided constructive feedback to improve their work. The trainers have to adjust the allocated time of 8-hour training per day to cover all the topics for the day while giving enough time to share and discuss all the outputs of group activities and in most cases, there was a need for extra time per day. Despite these, all participants evaluated the training course as highly successful and even recommended conducting a Training of Trainers so that they can disseminate the EAFM approach at the community level.

The REBYC‐II CTI project is aiming to contribute to the more sustainable use of fisheries resources and healthier marine ecosystems in the Coral Triangle and Southeast Asia waters by reducing bycatch, discards and fishing impact by trawl fisheries. It is executed by the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), based in Bangkok, Thailand, and the governments in the participating countries Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam in partnership with the private sector and relevant national, regional and international organizations. SEAFDEC is hosting the Regional Facilitation Unit (RFU) to which the PRC is attached. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is the Global Environment Facility (GEF) agency for the project that will be funded jointly by GEF and the implementing and executing partners. The project is for four years with a total budget including co‐financing of USD 11.2 M – the GEF contribution is US$ 3 M. Building on the lessons and experiences from REBYC‐I and following the “International Guidelines on Bycatch Management and Reduction of Discards”, REBYC‐II CTI includes a wide range of stakeholders, comprising national and regional policy makers, fishing and fishmeal industry as well as NGO’s. The 1st Project Steering Committee (PSC) meeting took place at Windsor Suites Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand, on 13 May 2013. The participants are listed in Appendix 1 and the Agenda is included as Appendix 2. The meeting was hosted by the Thai DOF and chaired by Mr. Manoch Roongratri (Director of the Marine Fisheries Research and Development Bureau) and co‐chaired by Mr. Petri Suuronen (FAO Lead Technical Officer of the project).

As the ‘Strategies for trawl fisheries bycatch management” (REBYC‐II CTI) project draws to a close, it is important that the lessons learned during implementation of the project are shared and discussed with counterpart organizations and key stakeholders working on trawl fisheries and coastal fisheries management in the South East Asia Region. So a lessons learned workshop was organized in Bangkok 9‐10 June 2016. A wide range of stakeholders, working in the Region, including government agencies, researchers, NGOs, international organizations, private sector, CSOs and donors, a total of 28 participants participated in the workshop. The lessons learned by five project countries and at the regional and technical coordination agency level were presented and discussed in detail. The project has built the capacity in the project countries in managing their trawl fisheries and at the same time has created an improved scientific basis for the management. The socio‐economic studies conducted during the last two project years have given a better understanding of the constraints and barriers faced when developing a more sustainable trawl fisheries in the region. The EAFM training promoted by the project has been highly successful for the project countries. The role played by SEAFDEC has been fundamentally important in the development of this training and this capacity will benefit the whole region. It was decided that project will support a larger regional workshop in autumn 2016 to discuss of the future of trawl fisheries in the region. This workshop will be a great opportunity for the project to share knowledge and lessons learned with all SEAFDEC member countries and others, and will help to further develop the action framework for achieving sustainable trawl fisheries in SE‐Asia.
