Concept Project Information Document (PID) - Fisheries and Coastal Resiliency Project - P174137

The geography of poverty reflects the strong nexus between poverty and vulnerability, both to conflict and to the impacts of natural hazards and climate change. [...] Institutionally, the Department of Agriculture through its Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) is responsible for the development, improvement, management and conservation of the Philippine fisheries and aquatic resources. [...] COVID response in the fisheries sector is guided by the Food Security Framework and strategy for the “new normal”; anchored upon the goals of a “food secure and resilient Philippines with prosperous farmers and fisherfolk.” Socio- economic recovery and resiliency are at the heart of this Framework’s strategy to “survive, reboot, and regrow”. [...] Modernization of the fisheries sector in the Philippines requires both (i) the establishment of science-based and ecologically sound stock management systems, and, since the productive potential of wild stocks is limited, (ii) the expansion of sustainable aquaculture production and enhancement of value retention and addition across the sector. [...] In terms of the CPF goal of “Promoting digital transformation”, the project would contribute to building skills and the wider adoption of digital technologies through the expanded use of online trading/marketing platforms for seafood/fishery products, as well as through the wider use of digital technologies for monitoring fishing vessel movements and traceability of fish catches.
