INTRODUCTION 22
23
In 2007, the Sulu Sea Sardine Management Plan was drafted by the Bureau of Fisheries 24
and Aquatic Resource, that applies to the waters of Sulu Sea with the exception of 25
Municipal Waters and waters managed by ARMM. The plan proposed to identify a 26
maximum sustainable yield and to cap fishing effort at the level occurring in 31 27
December 2006. The draft stated the light power limitations of 40kwatts (Fisheries 28
Administrative Order_on Superlights), a 3-month closed season (November to January) 29
and Vessel Monitoring Systems in placed for vessels over 18 metres in length. Evidence 30
show that there are gaps in data on sardines and that it was hard to set up reference 31
points. (Sustainability Audit Report for Sardines Taken in Selected Municipal and City 32
Waters of Zamboanga del Norte Province, Republic of the Philippines, 2010) 33
One management measure that has been adopted was the establishment of closed-34
season in Sulu Sea, Basilan Strait and Sibuguey Bay (JAO 1s, 2011) and has been 35
sustained through BFAR Administrative Circular No.255 (2014). 36
The Bureau recognizes the efforts that management of sardines should scale up to other 37
fishery management areas and should encompass reference points and harvest control 38
rules for sardines among others. With this in mind, the re-drafting of a National 39
Sardines Management Framework Plan has surfaced and was initiated by the Technical 40
Working Group created through Fisheries Office Order #182 series of 2017). (Refer to 41
Annex ____) 42
The National Sardines Management Framework Plan presents the vision, goals, 43
objectives, benchmarks and indicators, and management actions for the next 5 years 44
orchestrated towards the sustainability of sardines industry in the county. 45
The Framework Plan is a product of a highly participatory process that involved key 46
stakeholders of the sardines industry in the country. The Technical Working Group, 47
composed of the key divisions of BFAR, Regional Directors and National Stock 48
Assessment Project Leaders in coordination with the private sector representatives 49
facilitated the conduct of meetings, workshops and consultations to fill in the data 50
needed in the formulation of the Plan. 51
The timeline of activities facilitated by the TWG which eventually led to the adoption of 52 the NSMFP is reflected in the following matrix: 53

BACKGROUND 101
102
Bio-physical 103
104
Sardines belong to the family of Clupeidae and subfamily of Clupeinae and locally 105
known as lao-lao, law-law, tamban, tunsoy, turay, tabagak and tuloy. Sardines are 106
characterized by their terminal mouth; with single dorsal fin, located in the middle of 107
the back and no spines; scutes present on the belly; tail short and forked. They are 108 generally found within the continental shelf area. , 109
The National Stock Assessment Program Results provide data on the Length at First 110
Maturity (LM) of sardines in various fishing grounds. S. lemuru of San Bernardino Strait 111
and Northern Zamboanga have 15 cm and 13 cm both in standard length respectively. 112
S. gibbosa of Visayan Sea has 9.1 cm LM. This data can serve as basis in setting 113 harmonized harvest control standard rules for the sardines industry. 114
Sardines are among the most commercially important pelagic species in the country, 115
accounting to 22% of the total commercial fisheries production in 2017. Being cheap 116
but high with protein, sardine is one of the most accessible fish species for the Filipinos. 117
Aside from its evident economic value, sardines, being located in the basal part of the 118
food web have major ecological importance to big predators like tuna, mammals and 119 cetaceans. 120
There are nine species of sardines in the Philippines where the six major species of 121
sardines. namely: Sardinella lemuru, Sardinella gibbosa, Sardinella albella, Amblygaster 122 sirm, Escualosa thoracata and Sardinella fimbriata. 123

Life Cycle of Sardines 130 131
Sardines are known to inhabit shallow tropical waters, but possible living at depths 132 down to 70 m, and often being associated with coral reefs (Nguyen et al., 2016). 133 Sardines had a trophic level of 2.9 +0.30s.e. based on its food item (www.fishbase.org). 134 It occupies a position just above the primary producers and grazes on them for energy 135 needs and supports a variety of predatory resource by offering themselves as forage 136 (Chacko, 1946). Any variation or alteration in the population abundance of sardines 137 will have a direct impact on the marine ecosystem (Gosh et al, 2013). Sardines are filter 138 feeders and maybe seen swimming en-mass with their mouths open as they strain food 139 from the water with their fine gill-rakers. Sardines feed on both phyto and zooplankton 140 forming an important link in the marine food web by transferring the energy from the 141 planktons to the upper predatory organisms. 142 143 The seasonal distribution and abundance of lesser sardines in the inshore waters 144 appears to be influenced by the pattern of the sea surface circulation of the water 145 masses (Luther, 2001). The entry and abundance of lesser sardines in the coastal waters 146 coincides with the period of maximum biomass production of zooplankton, which forms 147 food of the lesser sardines (Desai & Bhargava, 1998). Large nutrient input from river 148 run-off supports high primary production in the coastal waters but the central parts are 149 less productive because of the absence of large scale mixing or upwelling (Gosh et al, 150 2013). 151 152 Sardines spawn in water banks and relatively shallow continental shelf. Majority of the 153 eggs and larvae are then transported by the water currents. Juvenile sardines aggregate 154 into dense shoals and slowly make their way back to the open ocean and to the 155 spawning grounds where they reach sexual maturity (www.oceansafrica.com). 156 157

Fisheries Status 188
189
The production of sardines (fimriated sardines; Indian sardines) in the last 15 years 190
averaged averaged about 333,743 mt, or 15% of the total marine capture fisheries 191
during the same period. About 68% was contributed by the commercial fisheries and 192
32% by the municipal fisheries sector. There was an increasing production trend in 193
2002-2009, however a sharp decline can be observed in 2010-2011, and stabilized 194 thereafter in the recent 5 years at about 346,826 mt annually. 195
About 47% of the production come from Region 9. The other sardines producing 196
regions are Region 5 (10%), Region 4-B (6%), Region 10 (4%), Region 4A (4%), Region 197 8 (4%) and Region 6 (3%). (PSA, 2017; Figure/s below). 198

In the commercial sector, sardines are mainly caught by purse seine, ringnet and bagnet 204
while encircling and drift gillnets, small ringnet, bagnet and fish corral. There are about 205
1,169 commercial boats for small pelagics, of which 63% are ringnet, 26% purse seines 206
and 11 bagnets (FeLIS, 2018, Table below). 207

17
The RA 8550 was amended to put emphasis on the act to prevent, deter and eliminate 291
illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing. This law is created for the following 292
objectives of the fishery sector: (1) conservation, protection and sustained management 293
of the country’s fishery and aquatic resources; (2) poverty alleviation and the provision 294
of supplementary livelihood among municipal fisherfolk; (3) improvement of 295
productivity of aquaculture within ecological limits; (4) optimal utilization of offshore 296 and deep-sea resources; and (5) upgrade of post-harvest technology. 297
Sections with specific concerns on sardines are: 298
Harvest Control Rule. This refers to actions or set of actions to be taken to achieve a 299
medium or long term target reference point while avoiding reaching or breaching a 300
limit reference point. (Section 4(54) of RA No. 10654). 301
Vessel Monitoring System (VMS). Refers to a satellite-based system used to track and 302
monitor the position, course and speed of the vessel at any given time for the purpose of 303
management of fishing effort and fisheries resources and for traceability. (Rule 4.1(s) of 304 the IRR of RA No. 10654). 305
Registration and Licensing of Fishing Gears. Before a commercial fishing holding a 306
commercial fishing vessel license may begin fishing operations in Philippine waters, the 307
fishing gear it will utilize in fishing shall be registered and a license granted therefore. 308
(Section 29 of RA No. 10654). 309
The Wildlife Conservation and Protection Act of 2001 (RA 9147) 310
It shall be the policy of the State to conserve the country's wildlife resources and their 311
habitats for sustainability. In the pursuit of this policy, this Act shall have the following 312
objectives: (1) conserve and protect wildlife species and their habitats to promote 313
ecological balance and enhance biological diversity; (2) regulate the collection and trade 314
of wildlife; (3) pursue, with due regard to the national interest, the Philippine 315
commitment to international conventions, protection of wildlife and their habitats; and 316
(4) initiate or support scientific studies on the conservation of biological diversity. 317
318
Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) (RA 8435) 319
The establishment of an act empowering the agricultural and fisheries sector to develop 320
and sustain themselves. Through this, the following objectives are aimed to be achieved: 321
(1) modernize the agriculture and fisheries sectors by transforming these sectors from 322
a resource-based to a technology-based industry; (2) enhance profits and incomes in 323
the agriculture and fisheries sectors, particularly the small farmers and fisherfolk, by 324
ensuring equitable access to assets, resources and services, and promoting higher-value 325
crops, value-added processing, agribusiness activities, and agro-industrialization; (3) 326
ensure the accessibility, availability and stable supply of food to all at all times; (4) 327
encourage horizontal and vertical integration, consolidation and expansion of 328
agriculture and fisheries activities, group functions and other services through the 329
organization of cooperatives, farmers' and fisherfolk's associations, corporations, 330
nucleus estates, and consolidated farms and to enable these entities to benefit from 331
18
economies of scale, afford them a stronger negotiating position, pursue more focused, 332
efficient and appropriate research and development efforts and enable them to hire 333
professional managers; (5) promote people empowerment by strengthening people's 334
organizations, cooperatives and NGO's and by establishing and improving mechanisms 335
and resources for their participation in government decision-making and 336
implementation; (6) pursue a market-driven approach to enhance the comparative 337
advantage of our agriculture and fisheries sectors in the world market; (7) induce the 338
agriculture and fisheries sectors to ascend continuously the value-added ladder by 339
subjecting their traditional or new products to further processing in order to minimize 340
the marketing of raw, unfinished or unprocessed products; (8) adopt policies that will 341
promote industry dispersal and rural industrialization by providing incentives to local 342
and foreign investors to establish industries that have backward linkages to the 343
country's agriculture and fisheries resource base; (9) provide social and economic 344
adjustment measures that increase productivity and improve market efficiency while 345
ensuring the protection and preservation of the environment and equity for small 346
farmers and fisherfolk; and (10) improve the quality of life of all sectors. 347
348
Local Government Code (LGC) (RA 7160) 349
Enforcement of Fishery laws in Municipal waters including the conservation of 350
mangroves. Under RA 7160, the Sanggunian, as the legislative body of the local 351
government unit, must approve ordinances and pass resolutions necessary for an 352
efficient and effective local government, and in this connection shall protect the 353
environment and impose appropriate penalties for acts which endanger the 354
environment, such as dynamite fishing and other forms of destructive fishing, illegal 355
logging and smuggling of logs, smuggling of natural resources products and of 356
endangered species of flora and fauna, slash and burn farming, and such other activities 357
which result in pollution, acceleration of eutrophication of rivers and lakes, or of 358
ecological imbalance. 359

391
MAJOR ISSUES AND PROBLEMS 392
393
During the Planning Workshop, the stakeholders identified issues related to sardine 394
fishery.. To help them focus on more important issues, an activity on prioritization was 395
done using Risk Assessment Tool. The three (3) components of EAFM were used as 396
categories for the issues. A risk analysis typically answers questions of risk, likelihood 397 and impact. 398
399

403
404
Governance
• Weak institutional capacity to implement fisheries
management measures
• Weak institutional capacity and mechanisms to implement
national fisheries management programs
• No proper delineation of municipal boundaries in some areas
• Illegal fishing
• Conflicting policies by the LGUs and National agencies (for
discussion)
• Limited commercial fishing areas of sardines
• Manning requirement of MARINA
• Lack of implementing rules/laws on catching of juveniles
• Encroachment of commercial vessels in municipal waters
• Need to improve implementation of (RA 9003) of solid waste
and other forms of pollution management
• Weak IEC
• Too much political interventions
Fisheries/Ecological
• Increasing juvenile catch/ Catching of small size sardines
• Inadequate science-based studies as to the actual presence
of adults within municipal waters (stock assessment within
municipal) –fish catch report, logsheets, location of fishing
grounds should all be required from the commercial
• Use of fine mesh nets and other unsustainable gears for
sardines
• Decreasing production/decreased productivity?
• Decreasing CPUE or catch rates
• Need for more studies on the reproductive biology and
ecology of sardines in various areas
• The need for climate change impacts studies
Socio-Econ/Human Well-being
• Post harvest losses during peak season
• Limited market for excess production during peak season
• Inadequate livelihood programs for fishers affected by
management measures including closures and weather
related events
• Low awareness on and compliance to fisheries policies
related to sardine managementLack of capacity to access financial credit programs
21
• Conflict of interest
GOALS 405
406
The major issues and problems faced in Sardine Fisheries are categorized into three 407
issue clusters, namely: (1) Fisheries/Ecological, (2) Socio-Economics and (3) 408
Governance. 409
Three goals are developed by the stakeholders in response to these three issue clusters. 410
These long-term goals are what need to be achieved so that the overall vision set for 411 sardine industry becomes a reality. 412
Goal 1: Improved Science-based indicators for the sustainability of sardine stocks
Goal 2: Improved distribution of benefits among sardine fisherfolk communities
Goal 3: Strengthened science-based management for sustainable sardine fisheries

OBJECTIVES, INDICATORS AND BENCHMARKS 422
423
Objectives 424
425
Guided by the high priority issues identified, objectives under each of the four goals are 426 defined. 427
These objectives state what will be achieved by management actions within a certain 428 time period. 429
430
GOAL 1
Improved Science-
based indicators for
the sustainability of
sardine stocks
Objective 1: To establish B-based or F-based reference points for 3 top sardine species by 2023 Objective 2: Reduce proportion of juveniles in the landed catch by 10% in 5 years Objective 3: To establish concerted efforts on data collection by academe, government agencies private sector by 2020 Objective 4: To develop and deploy a single, accessible sardine fishery information by 2020
GOAL 2
Improved
distribution of
benefits among
sardine fisherfolk communities
Objective 1: Reduce post-harvest losses by 10% by 2022 in all sardine fishery communities Objective 2: Reduce poverty incidence of sardines fisherfolk by 5% by 2022 Objective 3: Increase awareness in policies to 100% of the Sardines Stakeholders by 2022 Objective 4: Increase income by 10% annually of the 10% of the poor* sardine fisherfolk families through alternative livelihoods by 2022
GOAL 3
Strengthened science
based management
for sustainable sardine fisheries
Objective 1: Ensure compliance to the set catch /effort limit according to at least 3 LRP/TRP for 5 sardine fishing areas by 2022 Objective 2: To reduce juvenile catch by 10% Objective 3: To establish a platform among institutions on data collection by 2019 Objective 4: To develop and deploy a single, accessible sardine
fishery information by 2020
Objective 5: By 2020, all sardine fishing areas have adopted
and implemented the National Sardine Management
Framework Plan in 5 priority sardine fishing areas
Objective 6: To increase compliance of LGUs on implementation of sardine fishery-related laws and policies Objective 7: To establish an e-CDTS for sardines in 5 priority sardine fishing areas by 2023 Objective 8: To implement a program on seal of good governance on fisheries management for all LGUs in the 5 priority sardine fishing areas by 2023
23
431
Benchmarks and Indicators 432
433
Sardine stakeholders also decide whether the objectives are being achieved. This is 434
done through setting indicators and benchmarks to measure management performance 435
to determine whether management is meeting the objectives. 436
An indicator measures the current status at one point in time (e.g. length of fish, volume 437
of production, % increase or decrease, etc); while a benchmark describes where you 438
want to go (target), where you came from (baseline), and where you don’t want to be 439
(limit). Comparing the indicator with an agreed benchmark (a target, baseline, or limit) 440
provides a measure of how well management is performing. 441

INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK
Sardine fisheries in the country is primarily managed by the National Government thru
the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR),
in cooperation with concerned national agencies. While in the jurisdiction of the
municipal waters, DA-BFAR may coordinate and assist the Local Government Units
(LGUs), Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Management Councils (FARMCs), Integrated
FARMCs (IFARMCs) and other government agencies concerned in the development,
conservation, protection and management of sardine fisheries. (Rule 3.1)
64
VALIDATION AND ADOPTION OF THE NSMF PLAN
This will include options for adoption (e.g. PLGU resolutions, MOA). This also covers the
M&E section of the plan; tools to be used to monitor the activities, etc.
