It is one of the science providers of information used for managing stocks. Currently, it is the main source of science in the FMAs.

NSAP?

100

This policy delineated the bodies of water in the Philippines based on an approximation of fish stocks and their boundary, range, and distribution and other considerations for the purpose of fisheries management or governance that is science-based, participatory, and transparent, applying the Ecosystems Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM).”

FAO 263?

Scientists, experts, and researchers that may come from BFAR, NFRDI, academe, NGOs, fisherfolk sector. The main task is to provide technical advice to the MB.

What does EAFM stand for?

Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management

100

The largest FMA in terms of area

FMA 1

With 50M Hectares

200

this is the proportion of the natural unfished spawning potential remaining in a fish population.

Spawning Potential Ratio?

200

They are responsible for setting the policies and programs for the FMAs, developing and implementing the FMA plan, establishing reference points for key species, and adopting Harvest Control Rules.

Management Board?

200

Existing institutional mechanisms that can be used to engage more LGUs in FMA Management.

Inter-LGU Alliance?

200

This approach emphasizes balancing ecological well-being and human well-being through good governance for future generations.

EAFM?

200

How many FMAs are established in the Philippines?

12

300

The measurement used to evaluate the effectiveness of management measures for particular species and stocks

Performance Indicator?

300

It is a continuous process that provides information, enabling you to track changes.

Monitoring?

300

It is an essential tool to ensure effective communication, engagement, and impact and is used for building trust and credibility with stakeholders.

Communications Plan?

300

The Number of FMAs BARMM is included

3?

300

The ranking of the Philippine Coastline in terms of length.

What is 5th in Rank?

400

IF percent mature is reduced to 65% and or Spawning Potential Ratio has reached 30% THEN improve spawning stock status and reduce juvenile catches. What are these called.

Harvest Control Rules?

400

The existing institutional mechanisms that can be used to engage more fisher representatives in FMA management.

IFARMC?

400

A short document that presents the findings and recommendations of a policy research to inform policy-making

Policy brief?

400

EAFM considers not only fish stocks but also what two broad dimensions?

(1) Ecological (2) Human well-being

400

The FMA with only 1 BARMM Municipality

FMA 5?

500

It has 4 basic elements: 1) management objectives, 2)indicators of the fishery's status with associated Reference Points, (3) Monitoring program and method, (4) Harvest Control Rules

Harvest Strategies?

500

The timing for stakeholders' engagement when policies are implemented in the FMAs.

Before, during, and after the policy implementation?

500

The catch limit for this group of species is set by the RFMOs such as WCPFC. What is this species.

Tropical Tuna?

The RFMO, i.e., WCPFC, determines/sets the limit for tropical tuna catch by country.

500

The key fisheries of management interest of FMA 4.

Sardinella lemuru

500

CPUE has declined for several years even though total catch appears stable. What might this indicate?

Fishing Effort may be increasing, and stock abundance may be declining.
