Challenges
• IUU (estimated at $1.4 billion in Indonesia annually) in EEZ, high seas
• Overexploitation• Weak MCS • Law enforcement• Ecosystem disintegration/
destruction
• Increasing demand of seafood
• Fishermen livelihood remains low
• ‘Uncoordinated’ policies (between local and national governments, among states, e.g. UN Fish Stocks Agreement)

“Lacey Act” Model in ASEAN
• The law recognizes the illegal terms regulated by foreign law that protects the species
• It applies to import, export, transport, sell, receive, acquire or purchase activities.
• The law prohibited the trade and transportation of illegally captured or protected species across states and countries

Building common interests in the region
• IUU and overexploitation endanger food security and economic development, it happens in most ASEAN countries either involving domestic or foreign vessels
• Fish stocks have to be seen as “common properties” which need to be regulated and used mutually in the region
• Strong coordination among ASEAN states will increase leverage to influence the international market and policies
