The project seeks to reduce environmental stress and improve overall environmental conditions for the benefit of coastal states and communities. Its objectives will be achieved through five interlinked components, which are sustainable management of fisheries, restoration and conservation of critical marine habitats and biodiversity, management of coastal and marine pollution to improve ecosystem health, improvement of livelihoods and resilience of coastal communities in the Bay of Bengal, and strengthening of regional mechanisms for planning, coordination, and monitoring. In Southeast Asia, SEAFDEC serves as the executing agency and will lead sub-regional coordination, provide technical advice, and support capacity building on fisheries-related issues under components 1, 3, and 5 for the participating countries Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

There were two main objectives: (1) to assess the needs for implementing Monitoring, Control, and Surveillance (MCS) measures in Thailand to combat Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, and (2) to identify capacity building needs for enhancing the knowledge and skills of Department of Fisheries (DOF) personnel involved in MCS operations. The McKinsey 7s Framework was applied as a conceptual framework to analyze gaps in order to identify development needs of systems and personnel related to MCS. Data collection from documents, in-depth interviews, and structured questionnaires was used to gather information from executive staff and staff involved with the MCS. The components of the McKinsey 7S Framework are divided into two main categories: Hard Elements, which include strategy, structure, and systems; and Soft Elements, which include shared values, style, staff, and skills.
