National Target 6: Implementation of policies for sustainable management and harvesting

National Target 6 was initiated to deal with one of the national strategic issues identified during the IBSAP 2003-2020 implementation period up to 2014, which is to ensure the sustainable utilization of fisheries and marine resources (SDA) both in capture fisheries and aquaculture, taking into account ecological rules and limitations, legal compliance and reporting system (KemenPPN/BAPPENAS, 2014).

National Target 6 was prepared following the Aichi Target (AT) 6 framework as a reference for formulating a number of action plans and activity programs that have been adapted to national conditions and needs regarding sustainable management of marine biological resources.

Based on the IBSAP 2015-2020, the implementation of National Target 6 supports IBSAP Action Plan 3, 'Maintenance and preservation of biodiversity' through the Activity Group 'Management & harvesting of marine resources species that are protected and managed sustainably' (KemenPPN/BAPPENAS, 2016, p.247).
