USAID SEA last month joined the North Maluku Provincial Marine and Fisheries Office in a workshop to initiate the pilot testing of a small-scale fisheries management model based on catch monitoring through logbook data collection.
A recent biophysical survey conducted by SEA Project through CTC showed the reef fish ecosystem in the Banda Islands of Maluku to be in generally healthy condition which means there are more than five coral recruits per square meter and only two diseased corals were seen in 22 sites.
The Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Indonesia signed in mid-October 2019 a new and comprehensive ministerial regulation on the implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA)
At last month’s Marine and Fisheries Business and Investment Forum in Jakarta, USAID SEA pointed up the incentives that Indonesian fishers and fishery businesses can receive for participating in the Fair Trade system. MDPI is USAID SEA’s main implementing partner for its Fair Trade program, which is focused on creating incentives
