INTRODUCTION TO THE SURVEYS

• 1st Survey requested by DoF, Myanmar, based on a dialog with BOBLME and Norad

• Cooperation Between IMR, FAO and Norad with DoF, Myanmar and BOBLME

• Research cooperation with Marine Science Department (Mawlamyine and Myeik universities, Pathein)

• 1st Survey carried out in post monsoonseason

• As part of the recommendations from the first survey a second survey covering the pre-monsoon season was proposed

• To obtain information on demersal fish abundance and biodiversity by demersal trawling

• To determine the distribution and abundance of small pelagic fish resources using acoustic methods

• To collect data on size distribution, further biological information and genetic material from selected species

• To establish as far as possible the distribution, abundance and composition of other taxa at different trophic levels along the shelf (phyto- and zooplankton, fish eggs and larvae)

• To map the environmental conditions in the survey area (temperature, salinity, oxygen, chlorophyll, nutrients and sediments)

• To develop capacity of Myanmar trainees and young scientists

SURVEY OBJECTIVES

SURVEY DESIGN•Coverage:

o Entire EEZ between 20 m depth- 500 m depth

o Transects cross shelfo 20 nautical miles apart

•Region and depth stratified•“Ecosystem” sampling design•Sampling physical and chemical oceanography•Zoo- and phyto- plankton•Fish biodiversity and abundance

2015 Pre Monsoon2013 Post Monsoon

• Low oxygen water masses (<1 ml/l) found below stratified layer both years, especially in the northern region. Increase pre monsoon → poor fish biomass

• Low nutrient concentrations in surface waters.but high nutrients below 75 m depth

• Considerable more primary production during the pre-monsoon (2015) season than post-monsoon (2013)

The main characteristics of MSP are:

• Integrated and multi-objectiveMSP works across sectors and acrossmultiple levels of government; it aimsto achieve the “triple-bottom line”of ecological, social and economicObjectives

• Continuing and adaptiveMSP learns from experience; it is acontinuous activity of planning togenerate information for the developmentof management strategies thatrespond to changing conditions

• Strategic and anticipatoryMSP is focused on the long-term

• ParticipatoryStakeholders are actively and effectively
