The report of the second regional consultative forum meeting of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC) convened in Manado, Indonesia from 6 to 9 August 2008. The purpose of the meeting was to strengthen the role of APFIC as a coordinating body in transferring and exchanging information and experiences to assist member countries address emerging issues in fisheries and aquaculture in the region. The theme of this second meeting was "adapting to emerging challenges: promotion of effective arrangements for the management of fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region". This built on the theme of the first meeting held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2006 which was "reforming fisheries and aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region". The aim of the forum was to develop and agree on ways to implement policies and action plans to address the above two themes. The status and challenges in fisheries and aquaculture in the region were reviewed, and policy and action plans to address major issues that constrain reaching the potential of fisheries and aquaculture in the region were examined. Some broader policy challenges facing all members were addressed such as implementing the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, combating illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, opportunities and benefits presented by certification in fisheries and aquaculture, and integrating fisheries management into broader large marine ecosystem management.
