ASEAN FIP PROTOCOL

ASEAN FIP Protocol was tested in Indonesia, which take place in Madura (Java) and Kendari (Southeast Sulawesi) between 18-20 December 2014.  The FIP Protocol seeks to define a space between western standards of sustainability, and fishery performance in Asia, which may take time and coaching to operate at high level.  The Asia Liaison proposed the concept to the USAID funded initiative (“MARKET Project”), which seeks to address fishery issues in the ASEAN context.  The concept rapidly gained momentum, as fisheries in Asia are coming to terms with  the FIP concept.
