Back in its glory days, black tiger shrimp was an economic jewel of the Philippines and other countries in Asia that garnered millions of dollars’ worth of earnings from production and export. Until production methods became destructive to the environment — causing havoc to mangroves, producing harmful substances in ponds, and sending excessive organic load to downstream riverine and marine ecosystems. However, the international demands and value of the species did not waver. With this, the Government of the Philippines through the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DABFAR) mandated SEAFDEC Aquaculture Department (AQD) to revive the production of black tiger shrimp by using more sustainable and environment-friendly practices in its existing aquaculture systems. Thus, SEAFDEC/AQD has come up with sustainable and profitable intensive shrimp culture techniques to bring back the precious black tiger shrimp into the international market.

Although the fisheries of catadromous eels are known to be practiced in many countries in Southeast Asia, e.g. Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam, the statistical information on eel production from these so-called eel-producing countries had been very limited exacerbated by the inadequate classification of the eel species caught and cultured in these countries. In an effort to address such concern, the Inland Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (IFRDMD) of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC) based in Palembang, Indonesia conducted baseline surveys to gather information on the systems of data collection on production from eel fisheries and aquaculture practiced by the said countries. The surveys formed part of the five-year project “Enhancement of Sustainability of Catadromous Eel Resources in Southeast Asia,” which was implemented by IFRDMD from 2015 to 2019 with funding support from the Japanese Trust Fund (JTF) as well as that of a parallel activity funded by the Japan-ASEAN Integrated Fund (JAIF). Results from the surveys were then used to establish the data collection scheme for eel production of Southeast Asia, with the main objective of assessing the management of the eel resources toward sustainability. The target eel species are the Anguillid eels, such as Anguilla bicolor (A. bicolor bicolor and A. bicolor pacifica), considering that these species comprise most of the region’s production of Anguillid eels that are bound for the export market in the East Asian region. These species of catadromous eels have been considered as replacement for the declining European and Japanese eel supply in the world’s eel market, as the taste of Anguilla bicolor is almost the same as that of the European and Japanese eels.

Enhancing coastal community resilience for the promotion of sustainable livelihoods and coastal resources management involves various cross cutting issues, and requires strong commitment from and coordination of the national government, organizations and local institutions. The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) provided funds to SEAFDEC for the implementation of the Project “Enhancing Coastal Community Resilience for Sustainable Livelihood and Coastal Resources Management” through a Technical Assistance Grant Agreement with SEAFDEC/MFRDMD as the Lead Department. With the main objective of improving the socio-economic status of coastal communities including the community fisheries organizations through capacity building programs, the Project had as target beneficiaries the coastal Muslim communities in the IDB countries in Southeast Asia, namely: Brunei Darussalam, Indonesia, and Malaysia. This article is based on the output of the Project with special focus on one coastal community in Indonesia, which is the Takalar District of South Sulawesi.
