Some Ground Rules

We are not here to find faults

or point fingers.

Let us keep an open mind.

Let us listen. Everyone has a bright idea to share

What needs to change?

How do we implement it?

Part A. Framework of the IUU Fishing Threat Assessment

Part B. Philippine IUU Fishing Index

Part C. IUU Fishing Reduction Planning Guide

Prevalence

How big of a threat is IUU fishing?

Vulnerability

It is a suite of tools to (a) assess the status of IUU fishing in a given area, (b) identify other longer-lasting and targeted solutions to reducing IUU fishing, and (c) track the progress towards preventing, deterring, and eliminating IUU fishing over time.

can be used across various levels of governance, from municipal, to fishery management areas & eventually to cover the entire Philippine waters.
envisioned to be used regularly, ideally on an annual basis.

Part C. IUU Fishing Reduction Planning Guide��What is it?

A Planning Guide intended to develop interventions for specific types of IUU Fishing Threat in a given area

A process where the outputs of Part A and Part B will be presented and analyzed to be able to come up with strategic solutions to reduce specific types of IUU Fishing Threats

A 1-3 year plan intended to emphasize on identifying major gaps and barriers in existing responses that can be addressed within 1-3 years.

A process intended to identify immediate and workable solutions that can be measured

10/14

What are the specific types of IUU Fishing Threats that we want to reduce in a span of 1-3 years? How do we do it? How do we measure whether or not our responses are effectively reducing the specific IUU Fishing Threat?

Quick overview of the IUU Fishing Reduction Planning Guide and what is it about

This IUU Fishing Reduction Guide (Part C) is the third part of the Philippine IUU Fishing Index and Threat Assessment Tool (I-FIT), following the conduct of the IUU Fishing Assessment (I-FIT Part A) and the IUU Fishing Indexing (I-FIT Part B). This may be used with other planning processes and tools that are more familiar, available to and/or preferred by users. The objective is to develop a strategic plan with clear, feasible and measurable targets to reduce specific types of IUU fishing in the given area by the end of the first and third years. The plan, informed by the vulnerability, prevalence and an examination of existing responses to IUU fishing from the Assessment Workshop/s, could be short-term for 1-2 years or medium term for 3 years, which can serve as a basis for a detailed annual operational and/or tactical plan.

Emphasize on identifying major gaps and barriers that can be addressed within 3 years
Not intended to create the usual plans (e.g., 5 year plan with vision, goals, etc.) but to simply identify immediate workable solutions that is measurable

Part B. IUU Fishing Index

Rubric scoring system (1 to 4)

1 = low IUU fishing risk
4 = high IUU fishing risk

Assessment of IUU Fishing Risk in a given area
IUU Fishing Risk: The possibility of IUU fishing causing significant harm to the fisheries (people and ecosystem) in a particular area.
Applied to a specific area
Assesses IUU fishing risk, not the LGU / FLE team

Data Quality (1 to 3)

1 = Mostly perceptions
3 = Data & document supported

Scaling Up the Use of the I-FIT Tool

FMAs

Municipalities

Regions

National

Municipal waters are the basic and smallest spatial unit of application of the IUU Fishing Index. The indicators for the current version are focused on threats in these waters. It is highly recommended that the prevalence matrix be filled out monthly instead of annually.

The individual municipal IUU Fishing Index reports verified by the provinces are then consolidated at the regional level via the BFAR Regional offices. The current IUU Fishing Index need to be amended to incorporate factors affecting IUU fishing threats outside municipal waters. At this scale the regional office assesses the IUU Fishing threats outside municipal waters but within their jurisdiction.

The different municipal, provincial, & regional-level IUU Fishing Index and Threat assessments can be consolidated and summarized at the FMA-level. If this is desired, the Regional-level assessments would then have to be disaggregated by FMAs. Municipal waters are easily grouped by FMAs. The IUU Fishing Index can then be used to inform FMA-level planning and management.

National:

Finally, the national-level assessment will be completed by BFAR Central Office by consolidating information across multiple national law enforcement agencies and international partners on IUU Fishing Threats in waters well beyond the capacity of regional offices, closer to the EEZ boundary. This includes poaching by foreign vessels and international-level IUU fishing issues.

Objectives of Focuser:

a) Allow participants to focus on today’s topic

b) Engage participants to be active and to think critically

TIP: You may also give winners a small pack of candy or small prizes.

Take 1-2 minutes to explain process. Each participant will be given a phrase. Move around and look for others with whom you can form a sentence. Clue: Look for the same color ink/paper. When you are together, form your sentence and paste them on the colored board provided and paste them on the wall. Once done, raise your hands together as group to signal to the facilitator. You only have 5 minutes to do this.

Prioritization of IUU Fishing Threats would allow us to properly allocate our resources for more targeted approaches in reducing the specific threat.

24 of 26

Setting S.M.A.R.T. targets for specific IUU Fishing Threats would allow us to track our progress and measure how effective our responses are in reducing the threat.

25 of 26

Understanding the vulnerability factors and root causes of specific types of IUU Fishing Threats would help us in identifying the barriers and gaps in our current responses.

26 of 26

Reducing IUU fishing can be done through a suite of interventions, ranging from compliance promotion among stakeholders and enforcement against violators.
