1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. Background The trawl fishing technique in Indonesia was introduced for more than 30 years ago, but the development of the trawl gear has been toward ways to increase catch efficiency. The U.S. shrimp import embargo that went into effect on May 1 st, 1996, stipulates that fishing methods used in shrimp capture in harvesting countries should inflict no harm on marine turtles. Public law 101 162 section 609, enacted by Congress in 1989, requires nations who wish to export shrimp to the United States to adopt regulations governing the incidental taking of sea turtles comparable to those of the U.S., and that the average rate of incidental taking be comparable to the incidental rate of capture by U.S. vessels. The clear intent of this law is to encourage nations to adopt regulations requiring TEDs on all shrimp trawling vessels fishing in waters shared with five sea turtle species (keep s ridley, hawksbill, loggerhead, green and leatherback). Particularly in tropic waters, trawl fisheries also produce enormous unwanted catch called trash-fish, which are usually discarded back to the sea either dead or dying. Recently, trash fish are being retained and ground into fishmeal for export for feed in shrimp production in marine farms. It can be said that this is a loss of many tons of valuable food fish that might otherwise have satisfied vital local requirements for protein. The unwanted catch includes undersized commercially valuable fish, mostly in the juvenile stage, which contributes to a reduction of fish stock. It is now vital that the natural resources are harvested selectivity to eventually improve the yield. Implementing The Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF), some countries and international fisheries organizations have committed to put selective fishing gear as a priority in exploiting the fisheries resources. One way to reduce such undeliberated catch of species by installing By Catch Reduction Devices (BRDs: Turtle Excluder Devices/ Juvenile and Trash Excluder Devices). Indonesian government through The Presidential Decree Number: 85 / 1982 has obligated the shrimp trawl fisheries to install By-catch Reduction Devices/ Turtle Excluder Devices. Nevertheless, it is necessary to keep on disseminating and training the regulation to fishers for being able to get the best performance. It is also necessary to introduce many other kind of BRDs which have been improved in the world, such as Juvenile and Trash fish Excluder Devices (JTEDs). 1

1.2. Objectives and Purpose 1.2.1. Objectives Generally, this workshop was aimed some objectives, such as: a. To explain the purpose of By-catch Reduction Devices (TEDs/JTEDs) installation on trawl net; b. To introduce the types, designs, constructions and installation of Bycatch Reduction Devices (TEDs/JTEDs); c. To describe the benefits/advantages could be acquired by installing the By-catch Reduction Devices (TEDs/JTEDs); d. To demonstrate and train the fishers on the installation of By-catch Reduction Devices (TEDs/JTEDs) in trawl net. 1.2.2. Purposes The purposes of this workshop contains of: a. The installation of BRDs, especially TED for the shrimp trawl net will avoid the caught of some endangered species, such as: turtles, mammals, etc; b. The installation of BRDs, especially JTEDs for fish trawl net will reduce the caught of juvenile fish; c. Introducing a responsible fishing technology by implementing demonstration and experiment of TEDs/JTEDs. 1.3. Funding This workshop was financed by FAO/GEF Symbol EP/ GLO/ 201/ GEF Project. 2

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS 2.1. Training Materials The workshop was focused the installation of By-catch Reduction Devices (TEDs/JTEDs). The materials, are (both classical theory and outdoor practical), such as: a. The Technical aspect of fishing gears; b. The Selectivity aspect of fishing gears; c. The Sustainability aspect of fisheries resources; d. The legal aspect of fisheries regulation. Some of the training aids was used in the workshop, such as: a.

Juvenile and Trash Fish Excluder Devices (JTEDs) type semi-curve rigid sorting grid with grid distance, such as: 1 cm; 1,5 cm; 2 cm; and 3 cm. c. Two units of shrimp trawl nets were operated to support the fishing trial. The devices on which demonstrated were TED type Bent Pipe and JTED type semi-curve rigid sorting grid with grid distance: 1 cm; 2 cm. d. One unit of stern trawl net was operated to support the fishing trial. The devices on which demonstrated were JTED type semi-curve rigid sorting grid with grid distance: 1 cm; 1,5 cm and 3 cm. e. Two units of fishing vessels were operated during the sea demonstration, such as: 1). MV. Mahachainavee 2, stern trawl fishing vessels, 213 GT and 2). MV. Arafura Pearl, double rigged shrimp trawl fishing vessel, 151 GT. 2.2. Training Methods Generally, the methods used for the workshop as follows: a. Class meeting As a provision materials for the workshop trainees was remarked at the opening and closing ceremony speech. The technique and advantages of the BRDs installation, etc were introduced theoretically by the trainers during the class meeting. b.

This methods were aimed to give more chance for the trainees to understand the topics. It s hoped to fully help the practical activities (both in-land and on-board). 3.5. In-land Practical This part of the workshop was started by giving the explanation of the theory for BRDs (TEDs/JTEDs) construction and installation on trawl net. The trainers demonstrated and practised trainees on the installation of TED and JTED on trawl net. The activities were consist of: net cutting, TED/JTED installing, net connecting and elevation measuring. This practical was supported by the display as models of the net (had been installed each kind of the BRDs). So that, the trainees could 5

directly see the performance of the installed BRDs on trawl net. It was held in Fisheries Service Office of Merauke Papua Province. 3.6. On-board Demonstration and Training This practical activity was held on the adjacent of Komoran waters, of Arafura Sea. During the sea demonstration, the trainees were divided into 2 (two) groups. The group (1) operated shrimp trawl net on which had been installed TEDs and JTEDs on double rigged shrimp trawl fishing vessels (MV. ARAFURA PEARL). The group (2) operated fish trawl net on which had been installed JTEDs on stern trawl net (MV. MAHACHAINAVEE 2). This activity had been conducted since December 1 st to 2 nd, 2005. MV. Arafura Pearl shooted the shrimp trawl net for 3 (three) times. Meanwhile, MV. Mahachainavee 2 shooted the fish trawl net for 4 (four) times. The result of the fishing trial as the fishing operational sheet (Table 1) as follows: 6

3.7. Closing The demonstration and training on by-catch reduction devices was officially closed by the Head of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Services, Papua province, at: Day/Date : Sunday, December 4 th, 2005 Time : 12.00 13.00 WIT (Western Indonesian Time) Place : Asmat Hotel Merauke, Propinsi Papua 10

4. DISCUSSIONS AND EVALUATION 4.1. Discussions Referring to the evaluation sheets and based on the trainees participation during the workshop, we could see their antusiastic. As all of the trainees are the person who have direct relation to the installation on BRDs. Their institutions are; Fisheries compliance officers, Polices, Indonesian Navy, Fisheries Service officers, Skippers (Fisheries Trawl Industry) and NGOs. The trainees focused on some issues relating to their daily job and task: a. The mortality of espacees of the released caught species; b. The enforcement of TED regulations and the punishment; c. Another problem to solve is that by-catch also become important income. The trainers both from FAO and SEAFDEC highlight the importance of TEDs and JTEDs installation on trawl net. It will release the endangered and juvenile species such as: marine mammals, turtles, shark, etc. Besides, as being informed by Mr. Willfred Thielle that longterm fisheries resources sustainability will cover the direct economic income. The compliance for TED installation as being regulated by The United States of America (NOAAF) need to be fully enforced. It is also will help the Indonesian shrimp trawl Industry to export the product to The USA. The indications found that the TED didn t properly installed on shrimp trawl net of the MV. Arafura Pearl used for the demonstration and training by FAO-GEF trainers, give not so good image for the whole shrimp trawl industry especially in Merauke. So that, it was well suggested by Mr. Thielle dan Mr. Fogelgren to arrange the next meeting together with the managers of shrimp trawl industry. This meeting is arranged to be held on beginning of February middle of March 2006. 4.2. Evaluations 1) Conducting the sustainable fisheries management, it is necessary to keep on conducting the demonstration and training as specially for the commercial fisheries. 2) Further research should be held to improve the appropriate design and construction/prototype of BRDs which appropriate with Indonesian water. 11

3) In order to improve the compliance and surveillance, it is important to keep on involve the fisheries surveillance officer (also local fishing port and local fisheries service officers); 4) The adequate budget is needed to support such the above mentioned activites. 12

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1. Conclusions The Demonstration and Training on By-catch Reduction Devices had been conducted in Merauke Papua Province since November 28th December 5th, 2005. The trainees participate this workshop consist of: Fisheries Services officers, Compliance officers, Trawl fisheries industry. The curriculum of the workshop is explained in classical meeting, in-land practical and on-board sea demonstration and training. The on-board sea demonstration and training were supported by shrimp trawl net on which had been installed TEDs and JTEDs on double rigged shrimp trawl fishing vessels (MV. ARAFURA PEARL) and fish trawl net on which had been installed JTEDs on stern trawl net (MV. MAHACHAINAVEE 2). This activity had been conducted since December 1 st to 2 nd, 2005. MV. Arafura Pearl shooted the shrimp trawl net for 3 (three) times. Meanwhile, MV. Mahachainavee 2 shooted the fish trawl net for 4 (four) times. According to the result of the sea demonstration, trawl net being installed JTED with 10 mm and 15 mm grid distance could release small species (non-economically important size). Meanwhile, the trawl net being installed JTED with 30 mm grid distance could also release big species (economically important size). 5.2. Recommendations 1) To reduce the environmental impact from trawl net, a better collaboration and coordination between stake holders; government, researchers, fisheries trawl industry, fishermen, NGOs need to be improved; 2) To prepare The Minister Decree on TEDs/JTEDs installation both on shrimp trawl net and fish trawl net for the sustainable fisheries management; 3) To improve the dissemination and compliance on TEDs/JTEDs installation on trawl net to enlarge the export market. 13
