Introduction
This report provides a review of the Fisheries Improvement Plan (FIP) for the Indonesian tuna fisheries.
The first section reviews the activities and milestones and assesses the achievement of these along
with any barriers, if any. Section 2 rescores the fishery based on developments between 2010 and
2013, and applies the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Benchmark Tracking Tool (BMT) to
determine the level of advancement in each of the Units of Certification. Section 3 provides a Revised
FIP Action Plan (Draft), which has yet to be clarified with stakeholders. Section 4 provides amended
Guidance for each key stakeholder in implementing the activities.
Section 1: Summary report on milestone outcomes
This section represents a summary of the current positions on the milestones set to evaluate the
achievement of outcomes in the WWF Indonesia Fisheries Improvement Plan. The Fisheries
Improvement activities were agreed at a workshop held in March 2011, with proposed timelines and
responsibilities allocated to the various stakeholders.
It is important to note that MSC requires vigorous assessment and public consultation processes, with
a facility for objections and adjudication. For this reason very specific milestones have been set, which
require validation through Means of Verification (MoVs). These are recorded in a Dropbox, and
outputs evaluated by the FIP consultant to test whether these outputs are sufficient, or if not require
strengthening. Having the specific MoVs in place will allow the MSC assessors to conform if the MSC
scoring guideposts have been met. It also provides clear evidence of outcomes to any prospective
challenge to fishery specific certification.
The report concludes that in the three years of the FIP to date, 19 from 50 milestone outcomes have
been achieved.
The report summary below also includes revision to milestones based on changes in the fisheries or
its management structure.
GOAL 1: To ensure that the tuna catches do not exceed sustainable levels
Activity 1.1: Support training in stock assessment modelling for senior scientist and graduates
Milestone 1: Training in stock assessment. Training on length-based stock assessment (data poor
situations) (as inserted in the Dropbox) has been completed with two PhD qualified scientists: Dr
Fayakun Satria, and Dr Lilis Sadiyah, covering WCPFC and IOTC research inputs respectively. Further
training in Seapodym modelling is being undertaken for six PhD graduates under MMAF R&D research.
CVs illustrating qualifications are to be inserted into the dropbox. This milestone has been achieved
(1)1.
Milestone 2: Attendance at RFMO meetings. Scientists usually attend the SC meetings of IOTC and
WCPFC and conformation of this is in the RFMO meeting reports. Budgetary restrictions may prevent
attendance from time to time, but there is evidence of Indonesian scientific engagement in the regular
SC meetings, and the RFMO general sessions. This milestone has been achieved (2).
1
() denotes cumulative milestones met.
Milestone 3: Training Indonesian scientists in Ecosystem modeling. The Government of Indonesia
has funded Collecte Localisation Satellites SA (CLS)2 to implement a programme to support the
monitoring and sustainable management of marine resources. This includes training as well as
environmental modelling and use of Spatial Ecosystem and Population Dynamics Model (Seapodym)
(INDESO embedded modelling.ppt), which incorporates the tuna forage sub-model that explores the
dynamics of tuna prey organisms. This milestone is in process and will be completed once the
scientists have been trained (3).
Milestone 4: Specific application of ecosystem modelling relevant to Indonesia waters. Seapodym
modelling is now being tested and applied by CLS. Work has not been finalise, but is well in progress.
Specific papers on trophic organisms are also available from SPC and the Research Station of Tuna
Fisheries (Bram Setyadji et al, 2013). Also WPEA template for the formulation of project activities.
2.3.1 Criteria for monitoring programs and stock assessment for highly migratory fish stocks and
associated ecosystems developed includes provision for environmental data collection in Indonesia.
This milestone is sufficient to pass the MSC SG 2.5.3 (4), but stress the importance of specific fisheries
collaborating in supplying trophic data extracted from the WPEA II programme.
Activity 1.2: Regional and national reference points adopted and formulated into harvest strategy
Milestones 5 to 9 represent proposed adjustments to the Milestones to make achievement of these
milestones explicit to each RFMO.
(New) Milestone 5: Explicit LRPs finalized at WCPFC for skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna. Limit
Reference Points have been set at WCPFC at set at 20%SB recent, F=0. (WCPFC 10) for skipjack, yellowfin
and bigeye tuna. This milestone has been achieved (5).
(New) Milestone 6: Explicit TRPs finalized at WCPFC for skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna. Target
Reference points have yet to be developed and will link to the WCPFC harvest strategy. TRPs
are likely to be agreed at WCPFC, Q4 2014. The milestone has not been met but may be met by Q4
2014.
(New) Milestone 7: Explicit LRPs and TRPs set at IOTC for skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna.
Interim Reference points have been set by IOTC3 with the LRP at BLIM = 0.40 BMSY; FLIM =
1.50 FMSY, and a TRP at BMSY; FMSY. These will be subject to further review by the Scientific
Committee of IOTC. The milestone can only be achieved once fully integrated with IPTC strategy.
Milestone 8: Indonesia incorporates these Reference Points into the national tuna management
strategy, including n waters under its direct sovereignty – territorial and archipelagic. This milestone
is still to be developed and will require careful attention at the forthcoming FIP meeting. The main
issues are:
•
•
•
The sovereign rights of the nation state to implement its own measures
Identifying the range of the stocks between Indian Ocean and Pacific
Measures set for archipelagic waters must be compatible, or must not undermine measures
set in the RFMOs, i.e. agreeing to the same reference points, but also setting limits based on
these RPs for all Indonesian fisheries
This milestone is unlikely to be met until Q4 2015.

IOTC Resolution 13/10
(New) Milestone 9: Indonesia confirms strategy consistent with WCPFC for limiting EEZ PS effort –
500 days; and 5,889 t (BET) LL days. This milestone was set establishing specific limits for purse seine
and longline vessels in the WCPFC EEZ, bit not in archipelagic or territorial seas (see below). This
milestone has been met (6).
Activity 2.1: Harvest strategy incorporates LRPs (as above) and is responsive to the state of the
stocks
(New) Milestone 10: Agree action for 'other commercial’ fisheries including compatible measures
implemented for Archipelagic waters (based on CMM objectives) (New - more specific). The WCPFC
CMM has been adjusted to determine whether limits should be applied to other commercial fisheries
(Section 46 and 47 of WCPFC CMM 2013-01: CCMs shall take necessary measures to ensure that the
total effort and capacity of their respective other commercial tuna fisheries for bigeye, yellowfin and
skipjack tuna but excluding those fisheries taking less than 2,000 tonnes of bigeye, yellowfin, and
skipjack, shall not exceed the average level for the period 2001-2004 or 2004. This milestone is
projected to be met in Q4 2015.
Milestone 11: Compliance reporting to IOTC and WCPFC demonstrates national effectiveness
Indonesia is bound to submit compliance reports to the WCPFC Technical Compliance Committee, and
IOTC Compliance. Indonesia was found to be non-compliant for some IOTC Resolutions4. This
milestone is expected to be met by Q4 2014, with regular reporting to the RFMOs thereafter.
Activity 2.2 Harvest tools adopted
Milestone 12: Conduct a workshop, involving stakeholders, to explore input and output controls
including FAD management, quotas and effort limits following the CMM and IO Resolutions in the
relevant fisheries (PS, LL and other commercial). The milestone requires a review of management
measures supported by workshops and database to support the quota (output controls) and / or effort
control or FAD limits (input controls). A workshop process is recommended to allow discussion for all
stakeholders. This milestone is likely to be met in 2014.
Milestone 13: Initiate Decrees that support management tools, and provide guidance to DKP
Provinsi on implementation of measures. This milestone endorses any input and output controls
agreed in Milestone 13. This milestone is expected to come into place Q1 2015.
Milestone 14: Undertake and assess evidence that the measures established are effective. MMAF
will be required to have reviewed the effectiveness of the management tools prior to the MSC
assessment, and evidence would need to illustrate that the measures are effective (SG 1.2.2 (80) (c)).
This milestone is unlikely to be met until Q4 2016.
Activity 3.1: Comprehensive catch data are collected in standard format.
Milestone 15: Data collection system in place for the principal fishing methods (PS and LL). This
milestone has been met (7). MMAF has established national data base, incorporating an adjusted
TUFMAN system that links to SPC information, and incorporates data from AW.
4
IOTC-2013-CoC10-CR10 (Dropbox 11)
Milestone 16: Strengthen reporting systems from Province to MMAF. This milestone has been
achieved (8). MMAF has established catch data inputting linkages direct to DKP Provinsi and District.
Grants are paid by MMAF to Dinas to facilitate information. The frequency of information provided
from small scale fisheries has increased.
Milestone 17: Logbook awareness and training workshops. Confirmation of the logbook requirement
is in Ministerial decree on catch logbooks (permen-kp 2010) (Dropbox 17). However, logbook
reporting is still said to be poor (Williams, SPC pers com). MMAF has been slow to launch an awareness
programme, and literacy issues are problematic. MMAF is also proposing to adopt SILOPI (e-logbook
system) for all vessels and is currently trialling this with vessels over 30 GT. This milestone has not
been met.
Milestone 18: All tuna catch data collected from all methods by 2014 and transmission of all data to
SPC and IOTC (2015). This milestone has been partially achieved. Any specific fishery that is being
assessed must have a good data set, with transmission to SPC or IOTC. WCPFC is receiving data on
other commercial fisheries from P4KSI. WPEA is strengthening the quality of the data which improve
under WPEA II. There are reported weaknesses in data provision on Indian Ocean fisheries (See
Compliance reports). IOTC Resolution 10/02 (Mandatory Statistical Requirements for IOTC Members
and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties) calls for IOTC CPCs to report data on IOTC species for their
fisheries, including catches for surface, longline, and coastal fisheries.
Activity 3.2: Port sampling programmes established in the major tuna fishery ports.
Milestone 19: Port specific sampling on growth parameters commences in principal WCPO and IO
ports. WPEA reports indicate good port sampling from purse seine, longline and pole-and-line (and
handline). Some follow up on other pacific methods, especially handline. IOTC WPDCS08.19 (para.
52): Two research centres, one in Benoa, the other in Bitung, actively engaged in collecting and
analysing size frequency data. This milestone has been achieved (9).
Milestone 20: Port sampling extended to include trophic data (stomach contents) from main
fisheries. Trophic data is now been collected and analysed (Setyadji, et al, 2011 (Dropbox 20).WPEA II
is programmed to start collecting trophic data. This data will be beneficial for the further research
activities using ECOPATH/ECOSIM with BPPL5. Check with WPEA. It is noteworthy that trophic data
from Indonesia is already available to SPC (Allain, 2010) (Dropbox 20). This milestone has been
achieved, but probably requires a stronger linkage between P4KSI and SPC (10).
Activity 3.3: Observer programme consistent with RFMO requirements.
Milestone 21: Observer training programme established in line with RFMO obligations. Two groups
of observers are used in Indonesia – scientific under P4KSI and compliance under DG Marine Resources
and Fisheries Surveillance. Evidence shows that some observer training has taken place, with support
provided by Japan. However, these have not been to Pacific Islands Regional Fisheries
Observer (PIRFO) standards (http://www.spc.int/oceanfish/en/observer-form).
In addition,
Indonesia has ‘not been authorized’ by WCPFC. A more detailed knowledge is required on the
structure of the Indonesian observer scheme and deployment details. More information is required
before it can be argued that this milestone has been achieved. Prior to assessment, it would be useful
if WCPFC and SPC vetted the standard of Indonesia’s observer programme6. Presently, there is not

enough evidence to corroborate whether the observer training has been intermittent, or is a regular
activity. This needs to be verified.
Milestone 22: Comprehensive observer scheme applied to all those vessels required to have
observers on board in conformity with the CMMs and Resolutions. PER.30/MEN/2012 (Dropbox
20) underlines the requirement for fishing vessels to carry observers when fishing in EEZ fisheries.
There is presently no information as to whether Indonesia is compliant with the IOTC Resolution of
5% LL observer deployment in IOTC, or 100% and 5% PS and LL in WCPFC respectively. The last ITC
compliance report stated that Indonesia had failed to reach the 5% target. It is reported that MMAF,
as opposed to the industry, pays for the observer coverage from license fee revenues. Details on
deployment in WCPFC and IOTC require verification.
Milestone 23: Extension of observer scheme to include Territorial and AW. PER.30/MEN/2012
(Dropbox 21) underlines the requirement for fishing vessels to carry observers when fishing in
archipelagic waters. There is no information available on whether observers are being deployed on
vessels < 30 GT.
Activity 3.4: Integrated vessel data base covering District, Provincial and National Fishing vessels
by 2012
Milestone 24: Integrated national data base on vessel registration and logbook. National
Government has a system of registration and licensing for all vessels > 30 GT. < 10, 10-30 managed
under District and Provincial respectively. A database has been reportedly created to link these
registers. However, as yet, no evidence has been produced to show that these links have been
established. This milestone has not been met.
(New) Milestone 25: Evidence that the 30 GT limits are being effectively applied. Anecdotal
information has been provided to suggest that large vessels are deliberately registering as under 30GT
in order to escape compliance requirements, and pay lower licence fee rates. This abuse, if correct,
undermines the data on fleet composition, and impacts on PI 3.2.3 (Compliance). The response would
be to secure a MoU between MMAF and SEACOM (the Directorate General for Sea Transport at the
Ministry of Transport)7. This is a new milestone, requiring action by the regulatory authorities.
Activity 4.1: Preparation of a 5 year Research Programme
Milestone 26: National Research Plan in place for WCPO and IO tunas. Indonesia relies heavily on
the outputs of SPC and IOTC scientists to evaluate stock status. These organisations do have their
own research plans. However, P4KSI has now published a research plan (Dropbox 26). This
milestone has been met (11).
Milestone 27: Raising awareness of research needs, outcomes and application at district,
provincial and national level. Journal publications are regularly prepared and stakeholders are
invited to the Tuna Forum where the results of research work are presented. This milestone has
been met (12).
Milestone 28: Research outputs subject to review. P4KSI and BPPL scientific papers are subject to
Internal and external audit. A National Commission for stock assessment reviews the reports and
thereafter reports to the Minister. This milestone has been met (13).

GOAL 2: To promote the ecosystem based approach to fisheries management
Activity 5.1: RFMO Bycatch management systems implemented
Milestone 29: Relevant CMMs and Resolutions on sharks and sea turtles applied. The two core
management regulations for Archipelagic and territorial waters (MKDPRI PER 30/MEN/2012) and the
EEZ PER.12/MEN/2012 are the tools covering application of shark, turtle, sea mammales and bird
measures. Thresher sharks and turtles (penyu) are incorporated demonstrating compliance with IO
Resolution 12/09 (thresher sharks) and partial compliance with 12/04 (turtles). Whale sharks are
protected by Decree 18 KEPMEN KP, 20138 (Dropbox 29). However, the specific details of the CMMs
are not specified in Law9 and (with the exception of whale shark), the core WCPFC ETP CMMs are not
incorporated into the Decrees including: CMM 2010-07 (covering sharks and finning requirements),
CMM 2011-04 and silky sharks CMM 2013-08 (Dropbox 29). These will need integrating into
Indonesian Law. Attention would have to be paid to ensuring the conditions of the CMM are
incorporated into Law or the licence conditions. It should also be noted that Oceanic sharks along with
the three hammerhead shark species are CITES listed. Draft Shark and turtles NPOAs have been
prepared (Dropbox 29). This milestone has not been met.
Activity 5.2: Environmental risks assessed for retained, ETP species and habitats using risk based
methodology
Milestone 30 Commence data collection programme on retained and ETP species
MMAF DGCF has good information for purse seine, pole-and-line and longline. Information on
handline is being collated by Fishing & Living. Some information may be available on sharks, but it is
expected that these data may not be sufficient in identifying specific species. To achieve this
milestone, the FIP consultant will need to see tables for each fishery showing species details.
Milestone 31: Environmental risks assessed through workshop processes. WWF engaged the
University of Bogor to undertake a risk assessment. On reviewing the outputs to date, WWF and the
FIP consultant stressed more attention to: species identification by fishery (and cross check with P4KSI
observer data); use of the definition ‘main’ (5%), or vulnerable (>=2%), use of SICA to eliminate low
risk species interactions, careful attention to productivity and susceptibility criteria and addressing
habitat issues. The report is expected to be finalized in March 2014.
Milestone 32: Retained species, ETP and habitat mitigation measures introduced across the range
of Indonesian fisheries. If the risk assessment identifies at risk species, management mitigation
measures will need to be developed with the support of fishery specific workshops. These will be
followed by implementing decrees. This milestone has not been met.
Milestone 33: A review of the management implementation measures introduced, and a
strengthening of the rules of application, when appropriate. A report will need to be compiled
demonstrating the effectiveness of the management mitigation measures.
Activity 5.3: Baitfish management mitigation measures developed and implemented
Milestone 34: Set up site specific monitoring system for baitfish catches: Enumerator training,
catch trends and composition and collection of PSA variables. This Milestone requires:
8
9
Ministrial Decree on Whale Shark (Rhincodon typus) Fully Protection (p 2)
IO 12/04 stipulates certain conditions that are missing from the Decree
The identification of sites;
 Collection of species (probably using pilot studies), with enumerator training for species
identification;
 Collection of susceptibility criteria through Rapid Rural Appraisal;
 Collection of productivity criteria using FishBase.org or other science literature
Milestone 35: Environmental risks assessed on baitfish using risk based methodology. This will
require a workshop process to test the risks across a range of pilot sites. P4KSI/University of Bogor
have expertise in this area. Cooperation is required with AP2SI.
Milestone 36: Baitfish management plans (mitigation) developed for pole-and-line (and
longline/handline if required)
The plan should contain a process for catch monitoring, limiting availability, encounterability and
mortality, assessing and reviewing site specific risks, assessing bycatch interactions and determining
actions e.g. move on requirements.
Key objectives of the plan should contain:
1. Keeping biomass levels of baitfish species above levels where recruitment could be affected
(Species sustainability)
2. Ensuring that any impacts on ecosystem structure and function and kept at acceptable levels
(Ecosystem sustainability)
A network of Sites will be identified in cooperation with the industry. It is likely that management
processes will be pilot tested. From an ecological and biological perspective, the Sites will be linked to
each FMA under the control of DKP Provinsi, and local control of DKP District. Best practice actions
will be determined in cooperation with the pole-and-line industry.
Special attention will be paid to medium to high risks sites where the intensity levels of fishing activity
are likely to be high.
Potential issues include:
1. Reduction in abundance of baitfish in individual bait grounds due to the direct capture of
baitfish by either the ‘bouke-ami’ or ‘bagan’ techniques
2. Incidental capture of adult and juvenile reef fish, and other non-target species (bycatch)
during baitfishing operations
3. Discarding of non-biological material (rubbish, debris) from pole-and-line boats or bagans
4. Spillage of oil/chemicals from pole-and-line boats or bagans
5. Anchors of pole-and-line boats or bagans dragging causing damage to surrounding habitat
6. Disagreement on payments to bait ground owners and disputes on the distribution or use of
these payments within communities
7. Negative social impacts of pole-and-line boats or bagans operating in bait grounds
The strategy will need to be monitored, and the success of any mitigation measures introduced
regularly assessed. Management and mitigation must be incorporated into a strategy, which will be
different for each fishery and will likely include, inter alia:



Spatial and seasonal closures;
Changes to gear configurations, to minimize interactions with juveniles and at-risk species
e.g. hook types, minimum mesh sizes, maximum gear dimensions etc.;
Non-target species catch limits;
GOAL 3: Fisheries Governance strengthened.
Activity 6.1: Core legislation strengthened to include Precautionary and Ecosystem Approach to
Fisheries Management
Milestone 37: Refine objectives to ensure that priority is given to sustainable fisheries and the
ecosystem approach to fisheries management at national and local level. Reference to the
precautionary approach to fisheries management is contained in Decree PMKDPRI 15/MEN/2012
(National Strategy on Fisheries Management) and 29/MEN/2012 (Dropbox 37). A number of MMAF
familiarisation workshops (IMACS/WWF) have also taken place on the Ecosystem approach to
Fisheries Management. EAFM has not however been transposed to national legislation. It is however
referred to in the Draft Tuna Fisheries Management Plan. This milestone has been partially achieved
by the inclusion of PAFM in national decrees. For compliance with MSC principal 3.1.2, EAFM requires
endorsement it requires acceptance in a Decree or the final TMP.
Milestone 38: Ensure national governance principles are applied through provincial legislation and
decrees. The regulation on lower level (provincial or district) Act 32/ 2004 and Act 12/ 2011
obligations, Pasal 14 – Content of legislation at Provincial and District Regulation will reference to
higher regulations at national (Dropbox 38). This milestone has been achieved (14).
Milestone 39: Indonesia becomes a full Member of WCPFC and is instrumental in formulating strong
precautionary policies at both RFMOs and implements decisions. Indonesia became a full member
of WCPFC in December 2013. This milestone has been achieved (15).
Activity 6.2: Consultative and Organisational structure and functions clearly implemented
Milestone 40: Indonesian Tuna Commission consulted on all relevant management issues.
Indonesia’s Tuna Council is consulted, and advice referred to the Minister. The Fishing Associations
and NGOs, along with key experts, are members of the Commission. This providing opportunity for all
interested and affected parties to be involved in the consultation process. This milestone has been
achieved (16).
Milestone 41: Evidence that the FKKPS and MMAF consultation and decision making processes
respond to all issues identified in relevant research, monitoring, evaluation and consultation, in a
transparent , timely and adaptive manner and take account of the wider implications of decisions.
The Forum for Coordination for the Fisheries Resources Utilisation and Management (FKPPS) is used
as the organization to provide input into decisions from relevant research, monitoring, and evaluation.
FKPPS meets every two years at national level, and once a year at FMA level. Reports on FKPPS
outcomes are publically available (Dropbox 41). This milestone has been achieved (17).
Activity 6.3: DGCF fully implementing decisions that take account of research, information and
evaluation, through the management plan and RFMO CMMs.
Milestone 42: All components of KKP/DKP Provinsi and District fully implementing decisions
supported by the Council and promulgated through the management plan. The Audit Board of the
Republic of Indonesia (BPK RI) also checks the linkages between scientific and management advice
and Ministerial decisions. MMAF’s own audit process assesses the degree to which national legislation
is being implemented at provincial level. This milestone has been achieved (18).
Activity 6.4: Negative incentives identified and removed
Milestone 43: Review of incentives. WWF has published a review of incentives which will be subject
to consultation in 2014 (Dropbox 43). This highlights negative incentives. This milestone has been
achieved (19).
Milestone 44: Negative incentives removed (if applied). Fuel subsidies have been removed for the
industrial fishery sector (>30GT). WWF is pressing to prevent use of subsidies by legislation. This
milestone has largely been achieved (20).
Activity 7.1: Fisheries Management Plan operating
Milestone 45: Tuna management plan adopted with clear objectives consistent with MSC principles
1 and 2, and applied throughout the range of the fishery. DGCF MMAF has gone through two
draftings of a tuna management plan and is redrafting a third version. The plan is not fishery specific,
i.e. referring to each fishing method within the plan, and does not specifically outline short term
objectives: Information, identification of risks, strategies and partial management strategies and
monitoring of outcomes. The current plan makes some distinctions on Archipelagic Waters which are
not in compliance with the WCPFC Convention. WWF is encouraged to reengage with DGCF, using the
template developed by Poseidon in 2011. This milestone has not been met.
Milestone 46: Assessment of the plans performance and evidence that it is achieving its
objectives. The Plan should be subject to revisions based on required changes to fisheries strategies.
This milestone has not been met.
Activity 8.1: Compliance action to be implemented based on risk analysis and determine
enforcement priorities across the range of tuna fisheries.
Milestone 47: MCS risk analysis undertaken for all tuna fisheries. No risk analysis has been
undertaken by DG Marine Resources and Fisheries Surveillance to identify high risk activities or
systematic areas of non-compliance in each fishery. Poseidon to provide Risk analysis template to
WWF, with an option for 1-2 days training from the FIP consultant. This milestone has not been met.
Milestone 48: Industry awareness of MCS rules, sanctions and compliance actions. DG Marine
Resources and Fisheries Surveillance to hold industry workshops on rules and regulations and
compliance issues. This milestone has not been met.
Milestone 49: Reports prepared and publicly available identifying violations detected. Reports on
compliance actions and sanctions applied to each fishery are required to demonstrate systematic
compliance by each fishery under assessment. This milestone has not been met.
Activity 8.2: Strengthen community based management schemes in small scale fisheries
Milestone 50: Community organisations developed in artisanal fisheries. TURF System is being
explored to be implemented in nearshore fisheries. Lesson learned may be used to develop the
potential of TURF implementation for tuna fisheries. Fishing & Living are currently developing some
local village capacity but these have no evolved to management entities. This milestone has not been
met.
Section 2: Benchmarking and MSC scoring
The Fisheries Improvement Plan is tailored to 15 Units of Certification (UoC). These include six target
tuna species, 3 in WCPFC (skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye) and 3 in IOTC (skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye);
and eleven fisheries Pre-assessment scoring took place in 2010 (Moody, 2010). The revised scoring is
set out below was undertaken jointly by WWF Indonesia staff assisted by the FIP consultant.
The Benchmarking Monitoring Tool
The FIP BMT uses the MSC Standard to provide a status benchmark Index for FIPs at a particular
point in time and for the duration of the period that the fishery is in the FIP. The BMT Index is
produced using the results of an MSC pre-assessment.
Each of the scoring categories which are assigned during the pre-assessment have a corresponding
BMT score: ≥80=1, 60-79=0.5, <60=0.
The BMT index of a fishery in a FIP reflects the number of PIs that are at the different scoring levels.
Once a score has been awarded to each of the PIs, the BMT scores are averaged so that an overall
FIP BMT Index is obtained which ranges between 0-1.
A BMT Index of 1 would mean that all PIs of the fishery are at least at the 80 level, whereas a BMT
score of 0 would mean that all of the PIs are less than the 60 level. As the BMT index moves closer to
1, it means the fishery is moving towards all of the PIs being at least, at the 80 level.
Summary BMT scores
A summary of outputs is set out in Table 1 below:

The main issues are summarized as follows:
Principle 1 - WCPFC tuna stock status:
Skipjack and Yellowfin tuna remain above MSY (skipjack being at SBCURR/SBMSY = 2.94, FCURR/FMSY = 0.35;
and yellowfin at SBCURR/SBMSY are estimated at 1.34-1.83) and are not subject to overfishing (Hoyle et
al, 201110; and Langley et al (2011)11). These species achieve a score of SG 80 or above. In contrast,
overfishing is occurring for WCPFC bigeye tuna, (FCURR/FMSY = 1.49; Davies et al, 201112). However,
results from the assessment also indicate that is likely the stock is not in an overfished state (Bcurr/BMSY
= 0.96-1.48). Bigeye tuna achieves a score of 60-79 and is subject to specific measures aimed at
reducing effort. New stock assessments are due in 2014, and there is potentially a problem for the
yellowfin stock in Region 3, which includes the waters of Indonesia, Philippines and Papua New
Guinea.

Limit Reference points were set for all three species at the WCPFC General Session (WCPFC, 10) at
20%SB recent, F=0. (WCPFC 10). Target Reference points are under development and likely to be adopted
at WCPFC 11.
A harvest strategy exists for WCPFC tuna species in WCPFC CMM 2013-0113. The strategy makes
explicit reference to the PNA purse seine VDS scheme, effort controls for other purse seine fisheries
and a review of limits for other commercial fisheries. Article 8 of the WCPFC Convention (WCPFC,
200014) also requires compatible measures to be adopted in Archipelagic and territorial waters.
Indonesia is currently reviewing which of its specific Fisheries Management Areas are within the range
of Pacific and Indian Ocean stocks, but acknowledges that at least two management areas (FMA 716
and FMA 716) are Pacific Rim areas. The strategy is has yet to be applied to fisheries in Indonesia, with
compatible action for archipelagic waters, and shark finning is taking place. This PI is scored as a fail
on the shark finning issues, because of a lack of adequate observer coverage in place, or the failure to
introduce measures to control finning (CB 5.4/5.5), MSC FAM V 1.3). Harvest control tools have not
been implemented.
Information systems that support the stock assessment work are good and include a range of catch,
stock structure and growth parameters from the Indonesian fisheries. Fleet composition data still
needs to be improved, especially knowledge of the Provincial licensed fleets. Indonesia is not presently
authorized as a Regional Observer Provider by WCPFC, and there would appear to be some
weaknesses in the observer training, which needs to be rectified. Nevertheless, information is
perceived to be sufficient because of work supported by the Government of Indonesia and the
Western Pacific East Asian Oceanic Fisheries Management (WPEA)15. This PI scores SG 80 or above.
Stock assessments are undertaken by the Secretariat of the Pacific Commission (SPC) using MULTIFANCL. Indonesian scientists participate in the Scientific Committee meetings.
Principle 1 - IOTC tuna stock status
Skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tuna are all above MSY in the Indian Ocean. Current estimates (IOTC,
201316). All stocks presently score > 80.
Interim Reference points have been set by IOTC17 with the LRP at BLIM = 0.40 BMSY; FLIM = 1.50 FMSY,
and a TRP at BMSY; FMSY. These will be subject to further review by the Scientific Committee of IOTC.
The milestone can only be achieved once fully integrated with IPTC strategy. Reference points are
currently scores 60-79.
IOTC’s has determined that a strategy will be implemented as and when the stock status reaches the
Limit Reference Point. Various discussions have taken place by members about tools, but no
agreement reached. The strategy, if introduced, may work, and this was the basis for achieving SG 60
in the Maldives pole-and-line assessment. However, without the and harvest control rules evidence
that tools used to implement harvest control rules are appropriate and effective in controlling
exploitation, it is difficult to see how this PI can pass. It is noteworthy that MSC are reviewing this PI,

and the scoring criteria may be relaxed to allow fisheries to pass without tools, when above MSY.
Nevertheless, as with WCPFC fisheries, shark finning is taking place. MSC requires that if shark finning
is to take place, it is not done so as a directed fishery, and takes place under monitoring and
management standards (CB 5.4/5.5, MSC FAM V 1.3).
Information provided by the main industrial fleets, purse seine, longline and pole-and-line is good, but
there have been reported weaknesses in the provision of data from coastal fisheries and the
application of the Indonesian observer scheme18.
Stock assessments are undertaken by IOTC using MULTIFAN-CL. Indonesian scientists participate in
the Scientific Committee meetings.
Principle 2 – Fishery specific issues
Retained and ETP species issues19
Information has strengthened on bycatch data collection, largely with the strengthening of the
Research centre outputs in Benoa and Bitung. Retained and ETP species data is available and collected
by P4KSI observers. Whilst, it is probable that observer deployment requires strengthening,
quantitative information is available from the principle fisheries of purse seine, longline and pole-andline, and is sufficient to support a partial strategy for retained species, other than baitfish. Weaknesses
lie more in the availability of catch data from handline and troll fisheries. The former is apparently
being rectified by the NGO Fishing & Living (Aditya Utama Surono, pers com, December, 2013) but no
data has been presented to WWF, or made available to the FIP consultant. The pre-assessment
indicated that some qualitative information was available for the troll fishery, but Research centre
data has not been extracted. It is also reported that P4KSI has strengthened its shark identification.
No information is available on this. Site specific baitfish catch information is not available for poleand-line, longline and handline fisheries, and has to be collected with the support of the stakeholders
in each fishery. The lack of clarity for handline and troll for retained species, and the lack of baitfish
catch information for pole-and-line, handline and longline, would only allow a score of 60-79.
Currently, Only purse seine is likely to score information at SG 80 for retained species.
WWF has commissioned the University of Bogor to undertake a risk assessment across the range of
fisheries. This work will be available in March 2014 and will identify the outcome status for all retained
and ETP species, including baitfish.
Management mitigation measures apply sea birds, turtles and cetaceans and thresher shark (Indian
Ocean). Indonesia has not implemented the WCPFC shark and turtle CMMs. This would mean that
those fisheries interacting with these species (Indonesian WCPFC purse seine, longline and possibly
troll) would fail.
Habitat outcome information, outcome and management actions, if required are under assessment
as part of the University of Bogor work.
Ecosystem work, allied to modelling is being undertaken by P4KSI, and is reportedly being
strengthened by the extended WPEA programme.
18
19
IOTC-2013-CoC10-CR10
There are no bycatches in Indonesia tuna fisheries. The total catch is landed for human consumption.
Principle 3.1 Governance and Policy
WCPFC, IOTC and Indonesia have strong systems of governance in place and achieve a pass for the
legal and customary framework as well as consultation, roles and responsibilities. It is now evident
that the legislative and management structure extends to Provincial and District Level (Act 32/ 2004
and Act 12/ 2011 obligations, Pasal 14).
The precautionary principle has also been introduced as component of the government’s core
management objectives (Decree PMKDPRI 15/MEN/2012 (National Strategy on Fisheries
Management) and 29/MEN/2012). However, the ecosystem approach to fisheries management has
not been incorporated, though it is a stated component of the Tuna Management Plan (In Draft).
Management Plans are endorsed by the Fisheries Act. Once the TMP is accepted, and provided that it
incorporates EAFM, then this PI will achieve a score of SG 80.
Incentives have been evaluated by WWF (Anon, 2013 (Dropbox 43)) has identified negative subsidies.
Fuel subsidies have also been removed from Indonesian industrial fisheries. A consultation process is
being undertaken under the auspices of MMAF at which stage final action will be determined. Under
the current circumstances, this PI would achieve a conditional pass (60-79). However, it is also noted
that MSC may eliminate this PI as part of the forthcoming revision to the standard.
Principle 3.1 Fishery specific management
A number of PIs have been met including Decision making, Research Plan and Performance Review.
It is difficult to pass a management plan (fishery specific objectives) without an accepted final
document. Some of the existing tools are in place to show effective compliance systems e.g. VMS,
sanctions, (PI 3.2.3) but there is insufficient evidence of systematic compliance. Both PIs are likely to
achieve conditional passes.

Section 3: Revised FIP Action Plan
A revised FIP Logframe is provided in Appendix 1. This is a review document based on the achievement
of milestones (Section 1), and identification of areas that require strengthening. The specified
activities remain unchanged, but in some cases, milestones have been added to reflect specific
differences between the RFMOs and where the Government of Indonesia is required to implement
specific actions (also defined as milestones). The Logframe contains the same number of activities
(18) as per the original Action Plan, but now for clarity 8 outcomes have been added, with the number
of milestones reduced to 50. The milestone timelines have also been revised to reflect revised
expectations (and integrated into the FIP tracking document).
The project goals are as follows:



Stock status and fisheries management: To ensure that the tuna catches do not exceed
sustainable levels
Ecosystem management: To promote the ecosystem based approach to fisheries
management
Governance systems: To strengthen governance systems in the Indonesia’s’ Tuna fishery
The eight outcomes are as follows:
1. Stock status improved and reference points applied in management
2. Tuna management strategies applied
3. Data collection and information systems strengthened
4. Tuna research plan in place
5. Retained species subject to a management strategy
6. Legal framework implemented
7. Fishery specific management objectives applied
8. Effective application of compliance systems
The specific activities will be addressed in the section below.
GOAL 1. Stock status and fisheries management
Outcome 1 Stock status improved and reference points applied in management
The first component falls to the explicit responsibility of the two RFMOs, WCPFC and IOTC in setting
limit and target reference points. Limit Reference Points have been set at WCPFC at 20%SB recent, F=0. for
skipjack and yellowfin tuna20. Target Reference points have yet to be developed and will link to the
WCPFC harvest strategy. Interim Reference points have been set by IOTC21 with the LRP at BLIM = 0.40
BMSY; FLIM = 1.50 FMSY, and a TRP at BMSY; FMSY. These will be subject to further review by the
Scientific Committee of IOTC. The introduction of these reference points will also have to apply as a
component of the Indonesia tuna management strategy (Activity 2.1).
MMAF and P4KSI scientists are engaged in the annual Scientific Committees at both RFMO meetings.
P4KSI has the necessary stock assessment skills.

Outcome 2: Tuna management strategies applied
Activity 2.1: Harvest strategy incorporates LRPs (as above) and is responsive to the state of the
stocks
Once reference points have been set, these will need to be linked specifically to management actions
and the harvest strategy covering the range of fisheries. Indonesia will be bound by these reference
points in its EEZ fishery, and as such effort controls will need to explicitly link to historic activity for
these groups where catches were in excess of 2,000t. This will include purse seine and longline
fisheries with limits currently set at 500 days for purse seine, 5,889 t for longline bigeye catch and an
average based on 2001-2004 or 2004 if greater than 2,000 t for each of the other commercial fisheries,
handline and pole-and-line.
RFMO resolutions (WCPFC CMM 2013-01 and IOTC Resolution 13/10), and any subsequent
adjustment to tuna management strategies are binding for the participants in each fishery. For the
Pacific this includes a number of obligations relating specifically to Yellowfin and skipjack tuna as
contained in CMM 2013-01:
Purse seine







A four month (July, August, September and October) prohibition of setting on FADs shall be
in place for all purse seine vessels fishing in EEZs and high seas between 20N and 20S in the
Convention Area22;
Submitting a FAD management Plan
Binding limits for purse seine fishing effort, including 500 EEZ days for Indonesia
Restricting the catch of BET at 5,889 tonnes.
CCMs are encouraged to take measures not to increase their catch of Yellowfin tuna
100% observer coverage
Catch retention of all target tuna species
Longline

Subject to specific national catch limits on bigeye tuna
Other fisheries (Pole-and-line, handline and troll)


22
CCMs shall take necessary measures to ensure that the total effort and capacity of their
respective other commercial tuna fisheries for Bigeye, Yellowfin and Skipjack tuna but
excluding those fisheries taking less than 2,000 tonnes of Bigeye, Yellowfin, and Skipjack,
shall not exceed the average level for the period 2001-2004 or 2004.
CCMs shall provide the Commission with estimates of fishing effort for these other fisheries
for 2013 and future years.
The limit allows for an exemption in October to vessels adopting overall FAD limits (Attachment A).
Indonesia is not included in this provision.
The harvest strategy for the Indian Ocean responds to the status of stocks within the defined Kobe
plots for the respective species, but these stocks are not subject to overfishing. Harvest control rules
have yet to be developed for these species.
Indonesia will also be bound to implement compatible measures for its archipelagic waters. This is a
difficult area in that measures might apply to waters under national jurisdiction23, requires the
introduction of compatible measures or that the measures adopted and applied by it to highly
migratory fish stocks within areas under its national jurisdiction do not undermine the effectiveness of
measures adopted by the Commission under this Convention in respect of the same stocks (Article 8,
WCPC 2000 (the Convention). SPC tagging data indicate that there are strong linkages between the
fish within the MGA and those in the wider EEZ.
The associated milestones are:
Milestone 9
Milestone 10
Milestone 11
Indonesia incorporates these Reference Points into
the national tuna management strategy, including in
waters under its direct sovereignty – territorial and

Agree action for 'other commercial’ fisheries including
compatible measures implemented for Archipelagic
waters (based on CMM objectives);
Compliance reporting to IOTC and WCPFC

Activity 2.2: Harvest tools adopted
This component falls to the explicit responsibility of MMAF (SDI) but, for vessels less than 30 GT, with
delegated responsibility to Provincial Dinas (DKP). MMAF are required to monitor the uptake of EEZ
purse seine days, along with the catch of BET for the longline sector.
Compatible measures will have to be developed for AW fisheries – purse seine, longline, pole-and-line
and handline, which ensures that effort does not increase from the years 2001-2004. Limits set for
AW are the explicit responsibility of the Indonesian government and should not undermine the
effectiveness of measures adopted by the Commission. Possible measures may include either or input
restrictions - vessel days scheme, or output - fixed quotas for purse seine, pole-and-line, handline and
longline and ringnet vessels, may be linked to the average 2001-04 or 2004 levels.
23
Indonesia argues that its archipelagic waters, with the exception of FMA are 717 and 715 fall outside this
Convention obligation. This was conditional on Indonesia becoming a CCM to WCPFC. MSC requires that
Reference points must be set for the range of stock, such that any exclusions would be subject to challenge
during the MSC public consultation process.
The basis for establishing measures would have to conform with the Decision making processes (3.2.2)
which take account of relevant information, not least, the appropriate scientific advice.
MFMR will also be required to monitor the application of measures at Provincial and national level,
for reporting of compliance of these measures to WCPFC and the Technical Compliance Committee.
An annual report will be submitted from DKP Provinces to MMAF.

Outcome 3: Data collection and Information systems strengthened
Collection of catch and landings data for the Indonesian oceanic tuna fisheries is undertaken by MMAF
(SDI) and passed to P4KSI. The data collection process has been strengthened, and information from
the Pacific is passed to the Oceanic Fisheries. Programme of SPC and incorporated into the annual
stock assessments. This includes catches taken in archipelagic waters. Progress in this area has been
facilitated by the West Pacific East Asia Oceanic Fisheries Management Project (WPEA OFM) and
includes all the main industrial fisheries (purse seine, longline and pole-and-line catch data), and is
being strengthened in other areas (handline and troll). A comprehensive range of information on stock
structure (age, size, and sex), stock productivity, growth curves, and fleet composition is available to
monitor and assess stock status in respect to the WCPO, but there are still uncertainties on the status
of information from coastal fisheries. Indonesia was been judged to be non-compliant when reporting
to IOTC in a number of areas: list of Active vessels 10/08, list of Authorized vessels 24 metres in length
overall or more 07/02, coastal and surface fisheries 10/02 and observer reporting (5%) 11/04. There
is still some uncertainty about the fleet composition in Indonesia, with both national, provincial and
district licensing of fishing vessels. Three issues exist here in that there is no composite data base,
vessels may be licensed in more than one FMA and that some larger vessels > 30 GT are registered in
the province, when they should be on the national data base.
Port sampling is now being undertaken by the two national research centres, including stomach
contents, and this information will support Ecosystem modelling applied to Indonesia and SPC as a
whole.
The national observer scheme needs to be brought up the standard of international requirements.

Outcome 4: Tuna Research Plan in place
A Research Plan needs to be prepared which provides a coherent and strategic approach to research
and information needs across all three sustainability principles, in a timely and reliable manner.
This integrated plan takes account of national and international requirements and obligations, and is
supported by national government funding.
The plan should include the following components, in all cases backed by an increased commitment
to data collection to fill the considerable existing gaps in knowledge:







Information gathering, review and interpretation of available information to identify
information gaps and guide research planning;
Tactical focus on critical target and retained species, recognizing that there is currently
o insufficient focus on the regional/migratory nature of these stocks;
Overall risk assessment, with a strong focus on retained/bycatch and ETP species;
Application of ecosystem models;
Capacity building to support all activities;
Raising awareness of research needs, outcomes and application at district, provincial and
national level
Periodic review and assessment of the research plan (and subject to an external review
process).

Goal 2. Ecosystem management
Outcome 5: Retained species subject to a management strategy
RFMOs require specific management actions to be incorporated into law and implemented. Species
covered include non-retention of specified shark species (Indian Ocean thresher, Pacific Oceanic
whitetip sharks and silky sharks), avoiding incidental capture of whale sharks and releasing turtles and
seabirds. In addition, WCPFC applies particular regulations relating to the restriction of finning for
specific pelagic shark species. To pass MSC, WCPFC CMM 2010-07 would have to be put in place.
Moreover, MSC does not certify fisheries that fail to apply regulations to shark fishing, and carry
observers on-board to monitor requirements. As part of its international obligations, Indonesia is
required to complete National Plans of Action (NPOAs) on sharks and sea turtles.
All available information on retained/ bycatch: sharks (non ETP), marlins and other pelagic species,
ETP (cetaceans, turtles, seabirds) and baitfish species- needs to be gathered and reviewed, to identify
gaps in knowledge that would be required for risk assessment/Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries
Management (EAFM) and to determine if management strategies need to be implemented for
particular fisheries or species (see 3.4).
A risk-based assessment (RBA) framework needs to be completed for each fishery covering for
retained, ETP, and baitfish species as well as habitat impacts. This would draw on the information
review as outlined above (3.3), and anticipating data deficiencies, would involve the application of
SICA (Scale Intensity Consequence Analysis - qualitative analysis, requiring information from
stakeholders) and PSA (Productivity-Susceptibility Analysis, involving semi-quantitative analysis).
The RBA would identify ecological risk from species/fishery interactions, recognizing that risk will vary
across species and fisheries, and may result in national limits for ETP (and other interactions) being
established and enforced (see 3.3 above for the role of observer programmes, which would
characterize operational aspects of all tuna fisheries). It would utilize information obtained from the
literature (see 3.3) and experience with similar or same species elsewhere in the WCPO and Indian
Ocean.
Key requirements would be identification of the SICA24 components:





The main risk bearing activities, which would in this case be fishing;
The spatial scale of the fishery, i.e., the percentage range of the stock that overlaps with the
fishing activity;
The Temporal Scale, the time spent on the fishing grounds where the interactions will occur;
The level of fishing intensity, identifies the direct impacts as defined as Negligible, Minor,
Moderate, Major, Severe and Catastrophic;
Consequence of fishing activity on either population size or reproductive capacity.
Key requirements would be identification of PSA components:











Average age of maturity
Average size of maturity
Average maximum age
Average maximum size
Fecundity
Trophic level
Reproductive capacity
The overlap of the fishery with the species distribution (Availability)
Species overlap with the type of gear (Encounterability)
Gear Selectivity
Post capture mortality
Based on the outputs of the risk assessment, where species caught are identified as medium to high
risk, baitfish management actions (a partial strategy) may be required. This may take the form of
species specific plans, such as a baitfish management plan, which may have to be elaborated based
on the different levels of risk identified.
The plan should contain a process for catch monitoring, limiting availability, encounterability and
mortality, assessing and reviewing site specific risks, assessing bycatch interactions and determining
actions e.g. move on requirements.
24
See pages 86-106 of the MSC FAM version 2.
Key objectives of the plan should contain:
3. Keeping biomass levels of baitfish species above levels where recruitment could be affected
(Species sustainability)
4. Ensuring that any impacts on ecosystem structure and function and kept at acceptable levels
(Ecosystem sustainability)
A network of sites will be identified in cooperation with the industry. It is likely that management
processes will be pilot tested. From an ecological and biological perspective, the Sites will be linked to
each FMA under the control of DKP Provinsi, and local control of DKP District. Best practice actions
will be determined in cooperation with the pole-and-line industry.
Special attention will be paid to medium to high risks sites where the intensity levels of fishing activity
are likely to be high.
Potential issues include:
1. Reduction in abundance of baitfish in individual bait grounds due to the direct capture of
baitfish by either the ‘bouke-ami’ or ‘bagan’ techniques
2. Incidental capture of adult and juvenile reef fish, and other non-target species (bycatch)
during baitfishing operations
3. Discarding of non-biological material (rubbish, debris) from pole-and-line boats or bagans
4. Spillage of oil/chemicals from pole-and-line boats or bagans
5. Anchors of pole-and-line boats or bagans dragging causing damage to surrounding habitat
6. Disagreement on payments to bait ground owners and disputes on the distribution or use of
these payments within communities
7. Negative social impacts of pole-and-line boats or bagans operating in bait grounds
The strategy will need to be monitored, and the success of any mitigation measures introduced
regularly assessed. Management and mitigation must be incorporated into a strategy, which will be
different for each fishery and will likely include, inter alia:



Spatial and seasonal closures;
Changes to gear configurations, to minimize interactions with juveniles and at-risk species
e.g. hook types, minimum mesh sizes, maximum gear dimensions etc.;
Non-target species catch limits;
These measures will be incorporated into the National Tuna Management Plan (NTMP).

Goal 3. Governance Systems
Outcome 6: Legal framework implemented
Indonesia is now a cooperating member of both WCPFC and IOTC. Long term objectives are articulated
in the Fisheries Master Plan, and supporting legislation. Hey include reference to stock sustainability
and the precautionary approach to fisheries management (Decree PER.15/MEN/2012). However,
Indonesia needs to also apply the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) to be
consistent with MSC principles 1 and 2. Both PAFM and EAFM should be core principles applied within
the National Fisheries Strategy, and explicit within the National Tuna Management Plan (Activity 7.1).
It is also important to ensure that International actions are not only supported at national level but
carry to provincial governance.
National consultation systems are in place through the Tuna Commission and FKPPS. These ensure
that national actions are also designated to the designated Fisheries Management Areas.
MMAF is also in the process of strengthening its decision making systems. Decisions are now required
to take account of scientific advice and monitoring processes are in place to ensure that conservation
principles are followed.
Incentives may be seen as distorting the application of management policy. These have been subject
to recent review and evidence suggests that negative incentives are likely to be eroded.

3.1.4 Incentives for sustainable fishing
Outcome 7: Fisheries specific management objectives applied
The Fisheries Law (Law 31/2004) lays down a requirement to implement a Fisheries Management Plan
without specifying whether this should be for fishery specific or not25. Despite international
obligations (as above), and need to implement a coherent tuna management policy. DGCF MMAF has
gone through two draftings of a tuna management plan and is redrafting a third version. The plan is
not fishery specific, i.e. referring to each fishing method within the plan, and does not specifically
outline short term objectives: Information, identification of risks, strategies and partial management
strategies and monitoring of outcomes. The current plan makes some distinctions on Archipelagic
Waters which are not in compliance with the WCPFC Convention. WWF is encouraged to reengage
with DGCF, using the template developed by Poseidon in 2011.
The management plan must contain well-defined measurable and short-term objectives, which
achieve the outcomes of sustainable fisheries, and incorporate the ecosystem approach to fisheries
management. The Management Plan should incorporate the following:
25
KKP is presently in the process of designing Management Plans for a series of smaller scale fisheries linked to
specific FMAs.

Definition of short term, fishery specific goals and outcomes;

Incorporation of RFMO Conventions;

Implementing national tools based on a defined harvest strategy;

Implementing, where appropriate, additional precautionary management measures;

Developing bycatch mitigation measures, when needed26, across the range of the tuna
fisheries operating within Indonesia;

Adopting a Management Plan review process (internal and external).

Outcome 8: Effective application of compliance systems
Enforcement systems in Indonesia have been upgraded through provision of training to PSDKP
officers, a strengthening of the penalty system and application of VMS to vessels > 30 GT. However,
the compliance system for the tuna sector does not appear to have been tested.
PSDKP should define the most likely types of infringement according to seriousness, and their
capacity to control them, along with partner organizations (the Navy, Marine Police, KKP, DKPP, DKPD
and community groups) and plan to deal with them by undertaking a risk analysis. The principal risks
26
The risk assessment will determine for each fishing method, if management mitigation measures
are required
would be divided into the following sections: Strategic Risk, Specific Risk, Likelihood, and
Consequence, Risk Rating and MCS Adequacy, and Mechanisms for Improved Action.
Reporting systems are in place (MMAF, Marine Fisheries Statistics) but these need to clearly show
compliance levels for the specified fishing groups – purse seine, longline, pole-and-line, handline and
troll. The overall level of offences detected also seemingly illustrates how little enforcement action
there is to these fisheries.
Under the Supervision of DKPD and PSDKP, fishers should agree to a set of standards, and allocate
responsibilities to a number of community control officers. A TURF System is being explored to be
implemented in nearshore fisheries. Lessons learned may be used to develop the potential of TURF
implementation for coastal tuna fisheries. Fishing & Living are currently developing some local
village capacity but these have no evolved to management entities.
A system of circulating day-to-day monitoring responsibilities among fishers could be explored. A
system adopted amongst fishers in Thailand and Indonesia is to devise a self-funded community
compensation to fishers allocated to monitoring rather than fishing duties, but to circulate these
activities to all willing participants. Fishers would need to be allocated some basic equipment such as
binoculars, life jackets and VHF radios to strengthen their ability to support their compliance duties.
Community controllers need to be trained in monitoring fisheries regulations, communication skills,
use of radios and other equipment.

4.1 institutional strengthening: governance, consultation and decision making
P4KSI
BACKGROUND
The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), supported by its allied agencies (DKP Provinsi
and DKP District, and P4KSI), the Indonesian Seafood Sector and WWF, is engaged a Fishery
Improvement Project (FIP) to improve the standards in Indonesian Fisheries Management, which will
be consistent with international standards, not least the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing
and in compliance with Regional Fishery Management Organization management measures and
principles. This project will be carried out over a period of 5 years, to support the long term goal of
achieving recognition through Marine Stewardship Council certification for Pacific and Indian Ocean
tunas species (skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tunas) in five fisheries (hand-line, pole-and-line, purse
seine, troll and longline). To this end, all stakeholders have endorsed a Fishery Improvement Plan
(Section 3) and outputs from the FIP are expected to underline the formulation of an Indonesian Tuna
Management Plan. As part of this process, P4KSI and BBPL, will endeavour to ensure that specific
activities and milestones have been met that are consistent with MSC guidance, mist specifically in
relation to stock assessment and achieving responsible fishery management outcomes with the
setting of Limit and Target Reference points and providing input into Ecosystem modelling carried out
by the international science providers such as the Secretariat of the Pacific Commission (SPC). The
work of the Indonesian research institutions will provide key input into RFMO Scientific Committees,
MMAF, the Tuna Fisheries Commission and FKPPS and will support MMAF and FKPPS in developing a
national and provincial management strategy consistent with both RFMO requirements and that will
also meet the MSC standard by year 5.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT
Global objective
The expected position by year 5 is that:
 There is an robust assessment of the stock status for the principal tuna stocks (SKJ, YFT and
BET) in Indonesian waters;
 The stock assessment results will demonstrate that the stocks are at a level that will sustain
high productivity and has a low probability of recruitment overfishing;
 A comprehensive range of information on stock structure, stock productivity, stock
abundance, fishery removals and other environmentally related information is available;
 The expected position by year 2016 is that relevant information is collected to support the
harvest strategy.
 A fishery research plan exists that addresses the information needs for management.
Specific objectives
The purpose of the Guidance is to set out the requirements for the Research Centre for Fishery
Management and Conservation of Fishery Resources (P4KSI) and the Marine Fisheries Research
Agency (BBPL) to provide input to appropriate stock assessments in support of regional and national
fishery managers..
Requested Services
P4KSI/BBPL will provide services supported by in-house scientists for a period of 5 years and beyond,
contributing to assessment of stock status and guiding the implementation of a number of measures
that support a regional and national Harvest Control Strategy (HCS) for skipjack (SKJ), yellowfin (YFT)
and bigeye (BET) tuna in the Pacific and Indian Ocean including the EEZ, archipelagic and territorial
waters of Indonesia. A number of specific outputs need to be introduced, and maintained, along with
supporting measures, which require deliberation by MMAF and supporting FKPPs in order to set
harvest strategies. These are:



Contributing to the creation of Limit Reference Points (LRPs) and Target Reference Points for
all skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tunas, at the relevant RFMOs;
Target reference points are set such that the stock is maintained at a level consistent with BMSY
or some measure or surrogate with similar intent or outcome throughout national waters,
extending from territorial waters to the EEZ;
That the target reference point takes into account the ecological role of the stock.
As part of the institution’s undertakings, the team of scientists and technicians will:
 Prepare a Research Plan for the tuna and other retained species caught by fisheries (Which
also includes ecosystem research (section 3.3);
 Identify information requirements and gaps which will support knowledge of stock structure,
stock productivity, stock abundance, fishery removals and other information such as
environmental variables;
 Strengthen the data collection and port sampling system on stock structure, stock productivity,
stock abundance, trophic data and fishery removals, by preparing a standard sampling
protocol,
 Develop a comprehensive observer scheme to international standards (equivalent to
established Regional Observer Programme (ROP standards) which will include adoption of the

Strengthen the system of data collection to ensure that there is a high confidence that the
information on tuna is robust for data collected from the full range of national tuna fisheries
(purse seine, handline, troll, pole-and-line and longline fisheries.
Undertake training in stock assessment, ecosystem modelling (MULTIFAN-CL, ECOSIM.
ECOPATH, SEAPODYM) to promote a higher level of input from Indonesian scientists into RFMO
Scientific Committee deliberations;
Undertake training in risk assessment to assist in the development of strategies to ensure
sustainability of other commercial species caught, as well as Endangered, Threatened and
Protected species (other fishery removals), and habitats;
Support increasing awareness of research needs, outcomes and application at district,
provincial and national level to all stakeholders;
Implement a fisheries information system to record, integrate, and analyse the potentially
large quantity of data, according to an agreed plan that integrates data collection from across
the range of fisheries and allows for access and compatibility with data bases (e.g TUFFMAN)
used at regional level.
Provide technical advice to the Tuna Commission, FKPPS and MMAF, which will lead to the
establishing of a robust and precautionary harvest strategy for Indonesian fisheries, and will
support the extension of RFMO Commission Management Measures to Indonesian waters (as
required).
The available information should be:
of a standard to quantifiably support the P4KSI/BBPL stock data and assessment requirements;
sufficiently accurate to support a comprehensive strategy to manage tuna and to assess
whether the strategy is achieving its objective;
support a comprehensive strategy on managing retained and bycatch (other fishery removals);
continually collected to detect any increase in risk to tuna, retained and bycatch species27
The outputs that must be achieved are as follows:
 A P4KSI/BRPL Research Programme containing the above services (and following
international best practice and MSC requirements) established by year 1
 Scientists and technicians engaged in Benoa and Bitung
 Trained scientists in stock assessment techniques completed by South Pacific Commission or
equivalent organisation e.g. NOAA or CSIRO
 Port sampling data collection system full operational in all the main tuna ports
 Middleman and processor data sampling system (linked to species, sizes) fully operational
within 1 year in Bitung; Kendari, Ambon, Sorong, Benoa, Jakarta and Padang
 A scientific observer programme fully operational across the range of fisheries in the Indian
Ocean and those fishing in Pacific Archipelagic and territorial waters that follows the
standards set by PIRFO;

SDI MMAF
BACKGROUND
The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), supported by its allied agencies (DKP Provinsi
and DKP District, and P4KSI), the Indonesian Seafood Sector and WWF, is engaged a Fishery
Improvement Project (FIP) to improve the standards in Indonesian Fisheries Management, which will
be consistent with international standards, not least the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing
and in compliance with Regional Fishery Management Organization management measures and
principles. This project will be carried out over a period of 5 years, to support the long term goal of
achieving recognition through Marine Stewardship Council certification for Pacific and Indian Ocean
tunas species (skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tunas) in five fisheries (hand-line, pole-and-line, purse
seine, troll and longline). To this end, all stakeholders have endorsed a Fishery Improvement Plan
(Section 3) and outputs from the FIP are expected to underline the formulation of an Indonesian Tuna
Management Plan. As part of this process, DG Capture Fisheries, MMAF, will strengthen its vessel data
base, catch and effort recording programme. This will allow fishery managers and scientists to
incorporate catch and effort data and fleet composition into management advice and will support the
MMAF and FKPPS in proposing a management strategy that will comply with national and
international data requirements.
DESCRIPTION OF the ASSIGNMENT
Global objective
The expected position by year 2016 is that:
 Information on the nature and extent of target, retained and bycatch species is adequate to
determine the risk posed by the fishery and the effectiveness of the strategy to manage
retained species;
 A comprehensive range of information on fleet composition, and fishery removals is available
 The expected position by 2016 is that relevant information is collected to support the harvest
strategy.
Specific objectives
The purpose of the Guidance is set out the requirements for MMAF (Fishery Resources under DG
Capture Fisheries) to provide information that will support identify fishery and bycatch removals and
fishing effort that will support stock assessment and monitoring of the effectiveness of the harvest
control strategy. The specific requirements are:
 Information is of a standard to quantifiably support the P4KSI/BRPL stock data and assessment
requirements;
 Information is sufficiently accurate to support a comprehensive strategy to manage tuna and
to assess whether the strategy is achieving its objective;
 That the information available will support a comprehensive strategy on managing retained
and bycatch (other fishery removals);
 Sufficient data are continually collected to detect any increase in risk to tuna, retained and
bycatch species
Requested Services
MMAF will ensure that accurate and verifiable information is available on catch of tuna and bycatch
species, and fleet composition, and that these data are collected to a high standard. A number of
specific outputs need to be introduced along with supporting measures, which require deliberation
by the Tuna Management Council and the scientific research institution in order to monitor the
effectiveness of Harvest strategies and to provide accurate and certifiable information to BRPL. These
are:
 Identify the main national, provincial and district supply centres for the range of tuna
operations
 Ensure an accurate maintenance of a national data base of vessels by size group and segment
across the range of fishery administrations – National, Provincial and District;
 Enter into an MoU with SEACOM;
 Develop a catch and effort database operational and supporting interrogation both at national
and RFMO level (e.g. TUFFMAN)
 Quantify the spatial extent of FAD deployment, and FAD associated catches in accordance
with Indonesia’s commitment to WCPFC CMM 2008-01 in preparing a FAD Management Plan;
 Implementing a VMS system across the range of industrial fisheries (purse seine and longline)
 Extending the system of logbook data collection to all vessel size groups over 10 GT; and
assigning a system of sample logbooks for vessels under 10 GTs that reflect the ‘size of
removals’ (catches by hand-liners of yellowfin and skipjack by troll being important as a
proportion of Indonesia’s total catch);
 Implement a checking procedure to ensure that DKP Provinsi and DKP District fulfil their
obligations for submitting verified data on licensed vessels as well logbook returns, for these
vessels;
 Devise a system of alternative data provision from industry sources (processing plants,
middlemen) to complement and corroborate the catch data collected by MMAF
 Participate in country data entry management training provided by SPC
 Extract the relevant information for Indonesian fisheries whuch can feed into the SPC
database (TUFFMAN) and Indian Ocean equivalent in order to produce regular reports on
catch and effort
 Undertake an awareness campaign, supported by P4KSI/BRPL, and WWF, which highlights the
importance of data collection of tuna, other retained species and ETPs
As part of MMAF and DKP Provinsi and District’s undertakings, the team of officers and statisticians
will:
 Accurately record licensed fishing vessels of all size groups from National, Provincial and
District, cross checking for double counting where vessels move from one management
authority to the next;
 Train boat captains, middlemen (for small vessel segments (troll & line and hand-line) in
completing logbooks through a series of workshops
 Strengthen the log-book collection system to include the full range of vessel segments
 Engage additional DKP enumerators at principal centres to verify and enter data
 Provide reports on corresponding data made available from canneries, loining plants and
middlemen
 To create a system that records and transmits electronic information from across the range of
data collection systems, including fish buyers and processors;

Provide reports on vessel numbers and catches by species,
As part of the comanagement process fish processing plants and their associated middlemen will
support the data collection system for smaller craft (< 10 GT).

4.3 Development of harvest strategies rules and tools and bycatch mitigation measures
MMAF (SDI)
BACKGROUND
20152016
The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), supported by its allied agencies (DKP Provinsi
and DKP District, and P4KSI), the Indonesian Seafood Sector and WWF, is engaged a Fishery
Improvement Project (FIP) to improve the standards in Indonesian Fisheries Management, which will
be consistent with international standards, not least the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing
and in compliance with Regional Fishery Management Organization management measures and
principles. This project will be carried out over a period of 5 years, to support the long term goal of
achieving recognition through Marine Stewardship Council certification for Pacific and Indian Ocean
tunas species (skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tunas) in five fisheries (hand-line, pole-and-line, purse
seine, troll and longline). To this end, all stakeholders have endorsed a Fishery Improvement Plan
(Section 3) and outputs from the FIP are expected to underline the formulation of an Indonesian Tuna
Management Plan. As part of this process, MMAF and P4KSI will be responsible for advocating the
introduction of RFMO management measures, as appropriate, or designing equivalent harvest
strategies for archipelagic and territorial waters linked to the LRPs set, to be applied across the range
of Indonesian fisheries, and administrations, including DKP Provinsi and DKP Districts; and the
application of fishery specific ecosystem management measures. This work will support the Tuna
Management Council in proposing a management strategy in order to meet the MSC standard by year
2016.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT
Global objective
The expected position by year 2016 is that:
 There is a robust and precautionary harvest strategy in place in Indonesia which is responsive
to the state of the stock, reflects the requirements of RFMO Conventions and is designed to
achieve stock management objectives set as target and limit reference points;
 There are well defined and effective harvest control rules in place that are consistent with
International harvest strategies and ensure that the exploitation rate is reduced as the limit
reference points are approached, and provide a management mechanism to allow recovery
of depleted stocks;
 The management system provides incentives that are consistent with achieving the outcomes
for sustainable fishing practices
 There is a strategy in place for managing retained, bait species, bycatch, ETP species or
habitats interactions in order to avoid the risk of serious irreversible harm from the fishery;

4.4.1 Bycatch & ecosystem impact analysis: main retained species
Universities, P4KSI/BBPL/KAPI, industry associations and NGOs
BACKGROUND
The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), supported by its allied agencies (DKP Provinsi
and DKP District, and P4KSI), the Indonesian Seafood Sector and WWF, is engaged a Fishery
Improvement Project (FIP) to improve the standards in Indonesian Fisheries Management, which will
be consistent with international standards, not least the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing
and in compliance with Regional Fishery Management Organization management measures and
principles. This project will be carried out over a period of 5 years, to support the long term goal of
achieving recognition through Marine Stewardship Council certification for Pacific and Indian Ocean
tunas species (skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tunas) in five fisheries (hand-line, pole-and-line, purse
seine, troll and longline). To this end, all stakeholders have endorsed a Fishery Improvement Plan
(Section 3) and outputs from the FIP are expected to underline the formulation of an Indonesian Tuna
Management Plan. As part of this process, BRPL and KAPI, will set up a Retained Species Assessment
Programme (RSAP), supported by WWF, other NGOs and the fishing industry associations, which will
be responsible for determining risks, and developing management mitigation proposals, that will
support the FKPPS in proposing a management strategy that will meet the MSC standard by 2016.
DESCRIPTION OF the ASSIGNMENT
Global objective
The expected position by 2016 is that:



The fishery does not pose a risk of serious or irreversible harm to baitfish species, retained
and ETP species, or habitats and does not hinder recovery for managing species associated
with the tuna ecosystem ensuring that the fishery does not pose a risk of serious or irreversible
harm to retained species;
There is a strategy in place for managing retained, bait species, bycatch, ETP species or
habitats interactions in order to avoid the risk of serious irreversible harm from the fishery;
Information on the nature and extent of retained species is adequate to determine the risk
posed by the fishery and the effectiveness of management mitigation strategy.
Specific objectives
The purpose of the Guidance is to set out the requirements the Research organisations, NGOs and
fishery managers, supported by the University of Bogor (or Provincial Universities) to provide support
services, These services, all of which will relate to:



Collecting information on bycatch and ecosystem interactions;
Exploring management mitigation strategies with stakeholders, including fisher associations,
private sector companies and fisher communities;
Promoting the concept of stakeholder actions; and awareness training.
Requested Services
Working with fishing companies the Research organisations will provide services to the MMAF, FKPPS
and associated provincial sub FKPPS. The following outputs must conform to the following principles:
 Ensuring that accurate and verifiable information is available on catches of all retained
species, including bait, and ETP species;
 That the information available is sufficient to estimate the risks with respect to productivity
and susceptibility limits, including mortalities and injuries to all bycatch species;
 That the distribution of habitat types is known over the range, with particular attention to the
occurrence of vulnerable habitat types;
 That changes in habitat distribution over time are recorded;
 Review bycatch mitigation measures appropriate for each fishery which might include:
o Purse seine - increased mesh size, seasonal or area closures, alterations to the design
of FADs and on fishing practices, elimination of shark finning on board and best
practice handling procedures
o Long line - use of circle hooks, TORI lines and lures, no catch retention of sharks,
seasonal or area closures.
o Troll - Tori lines, seasonal and area closures
o Hand-line - FAD management
o Pole-and-line (if required)
 Implement baitfish management plans linked to the pole-and-line fishery
 Undertake, fishery by fishery, bycatch mitigation stakeholder workshop, working from
international best practice examples
 Raise awareness on bycatch avoidance and ecosystem interactions, and developing a system
that measures the effectiveness of the strategy.
There are four components for this research. Component 1 relates to the activities of the purse seine
and longline (and possibly pole-and-line) segments. This function will be undertaken by P4KSI and
BRPL.
Component 2 relates to the activities of the hand-line and troll and pole-and-line vessels, and any
other District level tuna fishing activities), some of these activities will be subcontracted through
Universities to local NGOs.
Component 1: Perceived high risk level interactions
 As part of the comprehensive observer scheme (5.2), P4KSI/BBPL will address the
International standard modules which relate to the interaction of retained, bycatch species
and ETPs. The same observers will receive training, and reporting requirements will form part
of the observer monitoring programme (with established debriefing and verification
processes).
 P4KSI/BPL will monitor the outputs of the observer data collection system to ensure that there
is a high degree of confidence that the information on retained species, bycatch and ETPs is
sufficient to determine whether the fishery may be a threat to protection and recovery of the
these species;
 BBPL will also record Longline company sourcing of baitfish stocks outside Indonesia
 BBPL will undertake training in the Risk Based Framework to allow scientists to assess, with
stakeholders, the risks posed to ALL retained, bycatch (billfish, sharks, neritic tunas, mahi mahi
and others), bait fish and ETP species identified in the national regulations. This will form part
of the training process outlines in Section 3.1.
 Support awareness of research needs, outcomes and application at district, provincial and
national level to all stakeholders;
 KAPI and BRPL will provide technical advice to the FKPPS and MMAF, which will lead to the
establishing of a robust and precautionary retained, bycatch, bait fish and ETP management
strategies for Indonesian fisheries.
 Make an annual assessment to detect whether there are changes to risk levels for associated
bycatch species
Component 2
One of two approaches may be used for the sub fisheries.
Option 1: Private sector stakeholders, supported by Universities, may engage in a data collection
process using Logbooks, observer and Statistical reports and evidence that it is used to retained
species monitoring and risk assessment. This information will be used to undertake a risk assessment
linked to relate to SICA and PSA28 focusing on the following:
o Perceptions of the range of the tuna stock (Spatial)
o Perceptions of the range of other species (Spatial) and interactions, including bait fish
species
o Timelines on interactions – seasons, preceding years
o Fishing time in days (Temporal)

Option 2: Selected universities, supported by NGOs will be contracted through P4KSI/WWF to
undertake assignments in Rapid Rural Appraisal and Participatory Rural Appraisal29. The questionnaire
should clearly relate to SICA and PSA as listed in Option 1.
Selected universities will work with P4KSI / BRPL and WWF in designing a series of approaches and
questions and report templates. Special attention will be paid to the quality of reports, and the need
to ensure template presentations that accurately summarise results, which can be verifiable. This
should be subject to external peer review, which can include the WWF Project Manager, on request
Selected Universities will provide graduates for training in Rapid Rural Appraisal, Participatory Rural
Appraisal and Environmental Risk Assessment.
The graduates will undertake a pilot assessment, with the support of the international consultant.
These graduates will subsequently undertake field work in selected communities, under the
supervision of an ESC Director, to identify retained, ETP, habitat and bait fish interactions.
 Using village orientated workshops, and working with a Facilitator, DKP District and WWF, the
University / NGO will define risks levels (High, Medium and Low) across a range of species –
retained, bycatch, bait fish, ETP and habitats.
 Using Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), explore the prospects for community orientated
bycatch / ecosystem mitigation actions;
 The University will prepare a report on outcomes and recommendations for promotion of
community based management mitigation measures to be supported by the FKPPS
This work will be supported by an international consultant. The consultant will be required to:
 Train BBPL and Universities in Rapid and Participatory Rural Appraisal, and Risk assessment
 Participate in at least 1 pilot study
 Act as mentor throughout the process.
Component 3:
 Following the approval of community management initiatives by the FKPPS, the NGOs and
Universities will carry out community workshops. These workshops will be reviewed annually,
and will be used to assess the effectiveness of the strategies, including an assessment of any
changes in habitat distribution.

4.6.1 National compliance systems
PSDKP
BACKGROUND
The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF), supported by its allied agencies (DKP Provinsi
and DKP District, and P4KSI), the Indonesian Seafood Sector and WWF, is engaged a Fishery
Improvement Project (FIP) to improve the standards in Indonesian Fisheries Management, which will
be consistent with international standards, not least the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing
and in compliance with Regional Fishery Management Organization management measures and
principles. This project will be carried out over a period of 5 years, to support the long term goal of
achieving recognition through Marine Stewardship Council certification for Pacific and Indian Ocean
tunas species (skipjack, yellowfin and bigeye tunas) in five fisheries (hand-line, pole-and-line, purse
seine, troll and longline). To this end, all stakeholders have endorsed a Fishery Improvement Plan
(Section 3) and outputs from the FIP are expected to underline the formulation of an Indonesian Tuna
Management Plan. As part of this process it is recommended that PSDKP will set up a Joint Tuna
Compliance Working Group which will be responsible for implementing compliance and enforcement
activities in the tuna fishery.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSIGNMENT
Global objective
The expected position by year 2016 is that:
 A comprehensive monitoring, control and surveillance system has been implemented in the
fishery and has demonstrated a consistent ability to enforce the management measures set
by PSDKP and other supporting institutions;
 Sanctions to deal with non-compliance exist, are consistently applied and demonstrably
provide an effective deterrent;
 Evidence exists that fishers comply with the management system, including providing
information of importance to the effective management of the fishery;
 There is no evidence of systematic non-compliance.
Specific objectives
The purpose of the Guidance is to set out the requirements for the Joint Tuna Compliance Working
Group and lay out the support requirements and activities required to implement an effective
compliance and enforcement system.
Requested Services
PSDKP (JTCWG) will be the implementing body to enforce the management measures.
The PSDKP’s duties include:
1. Following decisions made by MMAF, and resulting Legal decisions put in place, PSDKP should
prepare, with the support of an international compliance consultant, a risk assessment, to
determine appropriate deployment strategies;
2. The systems of sanctions should be applied appropriate to the levels of risk identified;
3. Organisations and individuals involved in the compliance process should be well understood
with a clear hierarchy of decision making and active coordination functioning between the
various groups – sub MMAF, Indonesian Navy and Marine Police;
4. Evidence should be in place of deployment actions taken (collection centre checks, boardings
at sea), and results (penalties and confiscations). A time series of these activities and results
should illustrate a demonstrably effective deterrent;
5. Awareness workshops should be promoted in cooperation with all stakeholder groups to
explain the reasons for the measures and drawing on information received from community
groups and fishers to support the effective implementation of the enforcement system.
6. Training provided and equipment made available for POKMASWAS, particularly in the context
of Sea watch programmes, and communications to prevent external intrusions.
7. A continual internal review process of effectiveness of the Compliance system, through
upgrading of the annual risk assessment exercise
8. An external review process on the effectiveness of the compliance system

activities using ECOPATH/ECOSIM with BPPL . Check with WPEA. It is noteworthy that trophic data
from Indonesia is already available to SPC (Allain, 2010) (Dropbox 20). This milestone has been
achieved (10), but probably requires a stronger linkage between P4KSI and SPC.

Q4 2014
Two groups of observers are used in Indonesia – scientific under P4KSI and compliance under DG
Marine Resources and Fisheries Surveillance. Evidence shows that some observer training has taken
place, with support provided by Japan. However, these have not been to Pacific Islands Regional
Fisheries Observer (PIRFO) standards (.http://www.spc.int/oceanfish/en/observer-form). In addition,
Indonesia has ‘not been authorized’ by WCPFC. A more detailed knowledge is required on the

before it can be argued that this milestone has been achieved. Prior to assessment, it would be useful
if WCPFC and SPC vetted the standard of Indonesia’s observer programme . Presently, there is not
enough evidence to corroborate whether the observer training has been intermittent, or is a
regular activity. This needs to be verified.

licence fee revenues. Details on deployment in WCPFC and IOTC require verification.
Milestone 23
Extension of observer scheme to include Territorial and AW
Q1 2016
ER.30/MEN/2012 (Dropbox 21) underlines the requirement for fishing vessels to carry observers
when fishing in archipelagic waters. There is no information available on whether observers are

these registers. However, as yet, no evidence has been produced to show that these links have been
established. This milestone has not been met.
Milestone 25
Evidence that the 30 GT limits are being effectively applied (New)
Q4 2014
Anecdotal information has been provided to suggest that large vessels are deliberately registering as
under 30GT in order to escape compliance requirements, and pay lower licence fee rates. This abuse,
if correct, undermines the data on fleet composition, and impacts on PI 3.2.3 (Compliance). The
response would be to secure a MoU between MMAF and SEACOM (the Directorate General for Sea
Transport at the Ministry of Transport). This is a new milestone, requiring action by the regulatory
authorities.

Activity 5.2
Environmental risks assessed for retained, ETP species and habitats using risk based methodology
(2.1.1, 2.3.1, 2.4.1)
Q1 2014
The two core management regulations for Archipelagic and territorial waters (MKDPRI PER
30/MEN/2012) and the EEZ PER.12/MEN/2012 are the tools covering application of shark, turtle, sea
mamma les and bird measures. Thresher sharks and turtles (penyu) are incorporated demonstrating
compliance with IO Resolution 12/09 (thresher sharks) and partial compliance with 12/04 (turtles).
However, the specific details of the IOs are not specified on Law. However, none of the core WCPFC
ETP CMMs are incorporated into the Decrees including: CMM 2010-07 (covering sharks and finning
requirements), CMM 2011-04 and silky sharks CMM 2013-08 (Dropbox 29). These will need
integrating into Indonesian Law. Attention would have to be paid to ensuring the conditions of the
CMM are incorporated into Law or the licence conditions. It should also be noted that Oceanic sharks
along with the three hammerhead shark species are CITES listed. Draft Shark and turtles NPOAs have
been prepared (Dropbox 29). This milestone has not been met.
SG 2.3.1 (80) (a): The effects of the fishery are known and are highly likely to be within
limits of national and international requirements for protection of ETP species (80) (a);

quantitative information are available on the amount of main retained species taken by
the fishery (80) (a); SG 2.3.1 Information is adequate to support a partial strategy to
manage main bycatch species; SG 2.1.3 (80) (c): Information is adequate to support a
partial strategy to manage main retained species; G 2.1.3 (80) (d): Sufficient data
continue to be collected to detect any increase in risk level (e.g. due to changes in the
outcome indicator scores or the operation of the fishery or the effectiveness of the
strategy).
Milestone 30
Commence data collection programme on retained and ETP species
Q1 2013
MMAF DGCF has good information for purse seine, pole-and-line and longline. Information on
handline is being collated by Fishing & Living. Some information may be available on sharks, but it is
expected that these data may not be sufficient in identifying specific species. To achieve this
milestone, the FIP consultant will need to see tables for each fishery showing species details.
Milestone 31
Environmental risks assessed through workshop processes
Q1 2014
WWF engaged the University of Bogor to undertake a risk assessment. On reviewing the outputs to
date, WWF and the FIP consultant stressed more attention to: species identification by fishery (and
cross check with P4KSI observer data); use of the definition ‘main’ (5%), or vulnerable (>=2%), use of
SICA to eliminate low risk species interactions, careful attention to productivity and susceptibility
criteria and addressing habitat issues. The report is expected to be finalized in March 2014.
Milestone 32
Retained species, ETP and habitat mitigation measures introduced across the range of Indonesian
fisheries
Q1 2015
If the risk assessment identifies at risk species, management mitigation measures will need to be
developed with the support of fishery specific workshops. These will be followed by implementing
decrees. This milestone has not been met.
Milestone 33
A review of the management implementation measures introduced, and a strengthening of the rules

The plan should contain a process for catch monitoring, limiting availability, encounterability and
mortality, assessing and reviewing site specific risks, assessing bycatch interactions and determining
actions e.g. move on requirements. Key objectives of the plan should contain: 1. Keeping biomass
levels of baitfish species above levels where recruitment could be affected (Species sustainability); 2.
Ensuring that any impacts on ecosystem structure and function and kept at acceptable levels
(Ecosystem sustainability). A network of Sites will be identified in cooperation with the industry. It is
likely that management processes will be pilot tested. From an ecological and biological perspective,
the Sites will be linked to each FMA under the control of DKP Provinsi, and local control of DKP
District. Best practice actions will be determined in cooperation with the pole-and-line industry.
