Paterson, Christopher; Cooper, Richard
Highlights are provided of the South China Sea Meta-Database that has recently been developed by the South China Sea project, in collaboration with the Southeast Asian Regional Learning Centre and the Southeast Asia START Regional Centre. This is a 'living' database that can be revised and updated online, providing fisheries and habitat managers with a tool they can collaboratively build and share within the region to bring fisheries and habitat management closer together.

Chokesanguan, Bundit; Weerawat, Panitnard
SEAFDEC is a regional organization that has a mandate to promote sustainable fisheries in the region, including the management and conservation of fishery resources such as fish and marine turtles. Currently, marine turtle conservation is an issue of much interest to the world of nature conservation. IOSEA (Indian Ocean and Southeast Asia) and SEAFDEC declared 2006 as the Year of the Turtle. An outline is given of 3 SEAFDEC projects relating to marine turtles: 1) Research for stock enhancement of marine turtle; 2) Responsible fishing technologies and practices (Fisheries in Harmony with Nature); 3) Capacity building in the region to address international trade related issues. SEAFDEC's commitment to and direct involvement in increasing marine turtle populations will continue long beyond the Year of the Turtle, as projects and research will be ongoing for at least the next 5 years.

Paterson, Christopher
Details are given of activities carried out within the framework of the UNEP/GEF project 'Reversing Environmental Degradation Trends in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand', considering in particular the integration of fisheries and habitat management through the establishment of a regional system of fisheries 'refugia'. This project is unique in that it represents the first attempt to develop regionally coordinated programmes of action designed to reverse environmental degradation, particularly in the areas of coastal habitat degradation and loss, halt land-based pollution and address the issue of fisheries over-exploitation. The key themes emerging from the fisheries component of the project relate to the important role that coastal and marine habitats of the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea play in sustaining regional fisheries, and the general low level coordination between fisheries and environmental management in the region. The partner network created through this project provides an ideal basis for efforts to improve the integration of environmental and habitat considerations into regional fisheries management, and the project activity of establishing a regional system of fisheries 'refugia' aims to provide a conduit for this. This latter activity is being implemented in close collaboration with SEAFDEC. Countries participating in the project have a useful foundation for the identification and evaluation of approaches to fisheries management at both the national and regional level.
