Program interventions, targets, and indicators related to aquaculture in the Philippine Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan 2018-2025, with corresponding 2020 Aichi Biodiversity Targets and PBSAP Targets addressed. Taken from DENR-BMB (2016). Program intervention Targets Indicators Responsible entity/ies 2020 Aichi PBSAP Targets (*lead) Biodiversity Targets† Improve capacities of local stakeholders including IPs, women and youth and communities to control and limit overexploitation and destructive practices on fisheries and aquaculture Undertake research on priority areas of concern Local policies/ ordinances on regulated use of coastal and marine resources are formulated and implemented Research is undertaken on the following: a) carrying capacities (programmatic) for ecotourism, mariculture, aquaculture; b) life history characteristics of priority species (fecundity and reproductive patterns) Trends in the destructive practices on fisheries, agriculture, aquaculture and forestry resources Research results are available for use by policy makers and other relevant sectors Local Government Units (LGUs)*, Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR), Academia Department of Environment and Natural ResourcesEcosystems Research and Development Bureau (DENRERDB)*, Department of Environment and Natural ResourcesBiodiversity Management Bureau (DENR-BMB) 6 By 2020 all fish and invertebrate stocks and aquatic plants are managed and harvested sustainably, legally and applying ecosystem based approaches, so that overfishing is avoided, recovery plans and measures are in place for all depleted species, fisheries have no significant adverse impacts on threatened species and vulnerable ecosystems and the impacts of fisheries on stocks, species and ecosystems are within safe ecological limits. 4 By 2020, at the latest, Governments, business and stakeholders at all levels have taken steps to achieve or have implemented plans for sustainable production and consumption and have kept the impacts of use of natural resources well within safe ecological limits. 9 By 2028, there will be an annual increase of at least 5% in Biodiversity conservation related jobs (ecotourism, sustainable agriculture, ecosystem restoration). 18 By 2028, there will be a 10% annual increase from the 2015 baseline in the number of schools, POs, media organizations, LGU, private companies, policy makers, government offices that are aware and supportive of biodiversity, its importance, threats and benefits of protecting it.
