PIPELINE PROJECTS AND EMERGING NEEDS FOR PREPARATION OF FUTURE PROJECT PROPOSALS
Establishment of Regional Scientific Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management in Southeast Asia (RSAC)
As there was no consensus on the proposal to include in RSAC's terms of reference "to advise on the delineation and coordination of the SEAFDEC programs relating to fisheries management", the meeting suggested that such a proposal would be subject to further review by the SEAFDEC Council. The meeting agreed that the chairman of the RSAC will be elected from among the representatives of the member states on an annual rotating basis.
Others
The meeting reviewed a draft proposal to establish a Regional Scientific Advisory Committee for Fisheries Management in Southeast Asia (RSAC), but it was emphasized that RSAC is not part of the Program Committee, although the outcome of the discussion on the proposal at this meeting will be submitted to a future SEAFDEC Council meeting for consideration. The meeting requested that the SEAFDEC draft program framework be submitted for consideration at the next program committee meeting.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE THIRTIETH MEETING OF THE PROGRAM COMMITTEE
Adoption of Report of the Meeting
The Committee member from Thailand suggested that in order for all programs to be implemented in a holistic approach and to facilitate the source of funds for the implementation of activities, a clear SEAFDEC program framework (or guiding principle), outlining the directions or thrusts for the formulation and programs/activities should be created. The program framework should take into consideration the technical competence of SEAFDEC as well as the priorities and needs of member countries in fisheries development and management.
Date and Venue of the Thirty First Meeting of the Program Committee
In this direction, RSAC can be considered as a fisheries management program initiative to comprehensively review existing management related programs/projects to find duplicated and/or missing priority area to obtain a holistic view of SEAFDEC fisheries management related programs.
