The FMA 8 is managed collaboratively by the BFAR along with the stakeholders’ representatives from the Local Government Units, municipal fishing, commercial fishing, aquaculture, processors/traders/market organizations, academe, non-government organizations, and National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) areas within its covered municipalities in Eastern Visayas and Caraga.
The MB members were selected through a series of stakeholders’ consultation in a bid to create a balanced, participative, transparent and adaptive management of its fisheries and marine resources through a holistic and science-based approach.
Through the MB, several significant resolutions have been approved and an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) Plan will be developed and implemented. The body will also establish the Reference Points and Harvest Control Rules, recommend or endorse the appropriate management measures, and lay down broad policies for the entire FMA to be implemented accordingly by the BFAR, LGUs and DENR aligned within their mandates.
