Indonesia Blue Swimming Crab Association (APRI) presented the Blue Swimming Crab Fisheries Improvement Program in the FIP Managers Meeting in Bangkok, Thailand. This meeting was hosted by The National Fisheries Institute’s Crab Council with the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch. This meeting was discussed fishery management strategies, updates of on-going sustainability activities and instructional sessions on data monitoring. FIP leaders from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Sri Lanka and Vietnam came together for the blue swimming crab sustainability symposium. The workshop’s comprehensive dialogue included an exchange of science-based tactics as well as candid problem-solving sessions.
“Sustainability does not occur in a vacuum,” said NFI Crab Council Executive Director Ed Rhodes. “Collaborations like these between stakeholders are essential to advance lasting fishery progress. The vast understanding on display during the workshop demonstrated that these FIPs have the foremost sustainability engineers at the helm.”
Indonesia Blue Swimming Crab Processors Association (APRI) FIP Manager Dr. Hawis Madduppa viewed the workshop as a prime platform to detail the work underway in Indonesia as they introduce a new approach to controlling and eliminating undersized crabs from the value chain. “Control Document testing is now being implemented in select Indonesian sites,” said Dr. Maduppa. “The managers meeting served as an ideal venue to share information on each fishery’s respective work, and the benefits were immediately clear. The interest in our control document work has spiked and we’re eager to share our results.”
