Abstract:
The countries in the Coral Triangle (Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste) are committed to applying an Ecosystem Approaches to Fisheries Management (EAMF) through the Coral Triangle Initiative's (CTI) Regional Plan of Action for coral reefs, fisheries, and food security. There is, however, uncertainty over what needs to be done on local, national, and regional levels to develop an EAMF plan and transition towards this more holistic approach to fisheries management. The principles of an EAFM, and a suggested planning framework for implementing an EAFM, are outlined in the attached Coral Triangle Regional Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management Guidelines. The purpose of this addendum is to highlight how the potential impacts of climate and ocean change can be integrated into the EAFM planning process. Ultimately, dealing with the effects of climate and ocean change may become an implicit part of future EAFM plans; however, we have made a distinction here as an EAFM is a relatively new management paradigm for countries in the Coral Triangle (and elsewhere around the world). Moreover, climate and ocean change are relatively new challenges to be addressed in fisheries management. Therefore, the purpose of this addendum is to highlight and draw special attention to additional activities which, if included in the EAFM planning process, specifically incorporate climate and ocean change concerns into EAFM plan development"--Introduction (Page 13).
