Brief Project Description: In the Southeast Asian countries, the major concerns on the use of energy in fishing vessels include: overpower of the main engine, heavy-wooden construction in hull structure, low maintenance of the engine and equipment, and inappropriate fishing operations/practices. This project deals with fuel efficiency measures for fishing vessels that require minimum modification of their existing equipment to optimize energy used for fishing operation. Therefore, the main activities under the project include transferring appropriate ways to optimize the use of energy for fishing vessels as well as adjustment/improvement of current practices in the fishing vessels. In the process of capturing fish, fuel cost takes up majority of operational costs, but we cannot find any alternative source of energy in the near future. In this connection, this project is aimed at transferring appropriate and applicable technology and knowledge to fishers and fisheries officials in order to optimize energy use in fishing activities and improve safety at sea for fishing vessels. 2. Background and Justification In addressing the issues on optimizing energy and safety at sea for fishing vessels, the following paragraphs from the ASEAN-SEAFDEC Resolution and Plan of Action 2020, have been used as reference. Resolution: #12 Support ASEAN efforts to promote low carbon development by minimizing the contribution of the fisheries sector to greenhouse gas emissions, with emphasis on promoting energy efficiency and use of alternative energy sources # 13 Improve the working conditions of people engaged in fisheries activities, and strengthen measures for safety of fishing vessels taking into consideration regional specificity # 15 Increase the efficient use of the alternative energy and reduce the use of carbon fossil energy by using appropriate fishing gear and fishing boats designs in fishing operation. Plan of Action Fisheries Management: # 20 Adjust existing programs to take into consideration the effects of climate change, focusing on the programs for (i) managing fisheries and habitats; (ii) reducing fishing capacity and 1

The project organized the regional training workshops, in collaboration with FAO and other technical agencies, on optimizing energy use and safety at sea for small fishing vessels since 2011 to compile existing international documents (guidelines, handbooks, handouts, etc.) on optimizing energy and safety at sea. Subsequently, the project translated the international guidelines, national guidelines, and other relevant training materials into national languages. Such training materials have been used for onsite training programs to enhance the awareness of fishers and fisheries officials (to further transfer the knowledge) on fuel efficiency and safety at sea for the fishing vessels. Revision of the current handbook and promotional materials will be made. Moreover, major outputs from the implementation of project activities and their progress will be disseminated to the Member Countries and other relevant agencies through website, training and promotional materials, etc. The outputs from this activity could also be used as the regional reference for optimizing energy and safety at sea for fishing vessels in the Member Countries. 3.4, Sub-activity and Proposed Budget for Table 3 Proposed Budget based on activity and sub-activity for (Unit: USD) Sub- Y1 Y2 Y3 Y4 Y : Sub-activity ,000 30,000 31,000 31,000 31,000 Sub-activity , : 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 5,000 Sub-Total 36,000 75,000 36,000 36,000 36,000 PART II: PROPOSED ACTIVITIES FOR YEAR Proposed /sub-activity, work plan and estimated budget for the year 2015 Table 4 Detailed Sub-activity including inputs, period, estimated budget for 2015 Sub- 1 Timeframe/ period January or February Inputs 1 1.
