  1. Lessons learned for bycatch mitigation in Indonesia - Tuna Longline Coral Triangle Fishers Forum Denpasar, June 15, 2010 Imam Musthofa Zainudin Fisheries Program Leader WWF-Indonesia

  2. Tuna Longline Indonesia & Sea Turtle • ± 1600 Boats • One boat 700 -2000 Hooks Turtles are at risk • 5 Major based • Nesting Beach • Migration • Bycatch evidence

  3. Reducing Bycatch (2005-2009) • Understanding and trust building • Fishers Interview (1-2 seaturtles/trip), onboard observer, public consultations • Onboard Observer Program : • 4 to 6 Observers per year (Benoa-Bali and Bitung- North Sulawesi) • 3,355,346 hooks, 2,678 Settings, 91 Vessels, • 308 Sea turtles, 1,101 Sharks, 5 Seabirds and 5 cetaceans • Gear Adjustment - Promoting Circle Hook • Trial • Number of vessels : Involve 78 vessels, Active monitored 38 Vessels • 2,065 settings • 60,158 Circle hooks Distributed • Capacity Building – Crews (bycatch mitigation technique & best practices) • > 500 Crews vessel

  4. OBSERVER DATA (2006-2008) • Setting and Hauling Position of Tuna Longline Vessels Based On Port Departure • 34 vessels, • 68 trips, • 1,445 settings, • 2,190,390 hook Location of sighted species during observation (turtle, whale, dolphin, sea bird) • Location of occurrence of sea turtle by-catch during observation • 250 sea turtles • 34 vessels, • 68 trips, • 1,445 settings, • 2,190,390 hook • Location of occurrence of species by-catch during observation • 1004 Sharks • 1 whale • 2 dolphin • 3 seabird) • 34 vessels, • 68 trips, • 1,445 settings, • 2,190,390 hook Potential areas of interaction (based on data of by-catch and sighted species)

  5. Challenges • Onboard observer : High cost - need to be Formalized and Institutionalized (Policy support) • Circle Hook : Availability circle hooks in local market • Circle hooks ;design for tuna longliners who using life bait (Ø 4mm)

  6. Lesson learned(Onboard Observer) • Good Promoter for message dissemination • “Effective” for data collection

  7. Lesson learned (Circle Hook Adoption Process) • The C-hook size was claimed too big as compared to their J-hook. • The C-hook was considered too small for their bait. • They don’t trust the new hooks to catch as much fish as the old. All the beginning is difficult………….

  8. SustainableFish Trade Market Incentive : Certified Fisheries, eco-labeled products Widening, & Support by Policies Lesson Learned(Bycatch Reduction Goals in Indonesia) Best Practices Create The solution : Win-Win Create Demand on sustainable fisheries products Work with fishermen (Research, testing & Training) Onboard observer Gear Technology Fishing method adjustment Understanding and trust building Stakeholders involvement Onboard Observers Consumers Fishing method Markets Fishers Interview Support from Stakeholders
