The initial step of successful land use is the selection of the appropriate location in line with the type or concentration of land exploration which requires land mapping. However, mapping activities undertaken in a territory with a comprehensively changing land cover, such as swamp ecosystems, requires considerable time and cost, which could make the work ineffective. Nevertheless, through technological developments, the land with changing ecosystem can be mapped easily using remote sensing systems and aerial photography by drones. The advantages of this technology are its effectiveness and efficiency in terms of time and cost.

Under the project “Management Scheme of Inland Fisheries in the Southeast Asian Region,” implemented in 2020–2024 and supported by the Japanese Trust Fund VI Phase 2, SEAFDEC Inland Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (IFRDMD) conducted the study to monitor the land cover of the Special Area for Conservation and Fish Refugia (SPEECTRA) in a swamp area by using a drone. Drones could produce highresolution aerial images that can be quickly processed by analysis software such as geographic information systems and image classification algorithms. Using drone imagery to manage inland waters has great potential, both for monitoring the aquatic environmental health index and mitigating ecological damage.

Inland fisheries are not often a priority in national and regional governance, being undervalued and overlooked, although it is recognized as important to food security, livelihoods, and human well-being. In inland waters, fishing is an important occupation for many rural people and plays a major role in social and economic development (Muthmainnah &amp; Prisantoso, 2016). Inland fishery is also known as “subsistence fishing” or “family fishing.” The community who lives surrounding the waterbody perceives that inland fishery resource is common property and open to all at any time of the year. Since it is worked by individuals with traditional fishing gear and small boats, it is called small-scale fishery. Small-scale fisheries in inland waters are carried out in a wide diversity of ecosystems, namely: lakes, rivers, reservoirs, ponds, and wetlands (DFID, 2002), as well as in rice fields during the rainy season.

However, inland fisheries are strongly impacted by other users of water and land resources, such as agriculture, transportation, and home industries. The management of inland fisheries requires an ecosystem approach and the engagement of relevant stakeholders. The priority focus of inland fishery management is sustainability to ensure that short-term actions do not jeopardize the options for future generations to benefit from the full range of goods and services provided by freshwater inland water ecosystems.

SEAFDEC Inland Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (IFRDMD) is currently implementing the project “Management Scheme of Inland Fisheries in the Southeast Asian Region” with support from the Japan Trust Fund VI Phase 2. Under the Project, SEAFDEC/IFRDMD assessed the inland fisheries activities in Kampong Patin, XIII Koto Kampar District, Kampar Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia during 2020 to 2022 to obtain data and information on the potential of inland fisheries that would improve the livelihoods of local fishers.

The rapid population decline of temperate eels and the listing of some anguillid eel species, i.e. Anguilla anguilla and A. japonica in the CITES Appendices, have led to the increase in the market value of tropical eels during the recent years. European, American, and Japanese eels are seriously threatened with extinction due to high consumption, and demand is still increasing. After the stocks and recruitment collapse in the present target eel species and areas, it has to seek other targets for replacement and compensation to continue eel consumption (Arai, 2015). Since 2009, CITES for international trade listed the European eel in Appendix II due to their decreasing population and potential extinction. In East Asia, the large consumption of the Japonica eel has led to a rapid decline in the number of glass eels. Moreover, the demand for tropical anguillid eels in Southeast Asia has increased, not only for domestic consumption but also mainly for export to East Asian countries. Since the Japanese eels and European eels are under the control of the IUCN, the development of sustainable anguillid eel fisheries could be an excellent prospect to increase the source of income of small-scale fishers in Southeast Asia.

SEAFDEC conducted the studies to obtain a better understanding of the status, biology, and life cycle of eel stocks and promote sustainable management and utilization of anguillid eel fishery resources in the region. To better understand the stock status, biology, and life cycle of eel stocks and promote sustainable management and utilization of anguillid eel fisheries resources in the region, SEAFDEC carried out two projects, namely: “Development of Stock Assessment Methods and Strengthening of Resources Management Measures for Tropical Anguillid Eel in Southeast Asia” in 2020–2022 and “Sustainable Utilization of Anguillid Eels in the Southeast Asia Region” in 2020–2024. The former Project was implemented by the SEAFDEC Secretariat in collaboration with IFRDMD with funding support from the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF) with the aims to collect catch data and biological/ecological information for the estimation of eel resources stocks and develop methods for estimating tropical anguillid eel resources. While the latter Project was implemented by IFRDMD with funding support from Japan Trust Fund VI (JTF) Phase 2 with the aim of keeping the sustainable management and utilization of anguillid eel fisheries resources in the Southeast Asian region through the strategic program of sustainable eel resources management. The anguillid eels are common in several ASEAN Member States (AMSs), namely: Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. This article presents the capture fishery practices for anguillid eels in the AMSs and the national fishery management programs and regulations implemented by the respective countries to sustain the utilization of eel resources in the region.

Indonesia is endowed with rich anguillid eel resources. The women are engaged in the whole fish value chain; however, their participation in eel fisheries has often been overlooked. To understand the roles of women and men in anguillid eel fisheries, SEAFDEC Inland Fishery Resources Development and Management Department (IFRDMD) conducted a series of surveys in selected sites from October to December 2021. It was found that the participation of women in anguillid eel fisheries is significant because they possess the marketing skills that can access markets and sell their products quickly which is beneficial for the family’s economy.
