Study and Review Needs of Monitor, Control, and Surveillance (MCS) Implementation and Capacity Building in Thailand
Full text linkThis study was part of the Bay of Bengal Large Marine Ecosystem Phase II (BOBLME II) Project, with additional co-funding from the IW Project. There were two main objectives: (1) to assess the needs for implementing Monitoring, Control, and Surveillance (MCS) measures in Thailand to combat Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, and (2) to identify capacity building needs for enhancing the knowledge and skills of Department of Fisheries (DOF) personnel involved in MCS operations. The McKinsey 7s Framework was applied as a conceptual framework to analyze gaps in order to identify development needs of systems and personnel related to MCS. Data collection from documents, in-depth interviews, and structured questionnaires was used to gather information from executive staff and staff involved with the MCS. The components of the McKinsey 7S Framework are divided into two main categories: Hard Elements, which include strategy, structure, and systems; and Soft Elements, which include shared values, style, staff, and skills

The Workshop was conducted from 6 to 8 October 2025 in Bangkok, Thailand, to strengthen regional cooperation and enhance the capacity of ASEAN Member States (AMSs) to prevent, deter, and eliminate illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) Fishing. The Workshop served as a platform for AMSs to share experiences, update progress on the implementation of the National Plans of Action to Combat IUU Fishing (NPOA–IUU), and discuss policy actions and countermeasures in line with international and regional frameworks.
A total of 36 participants attended the Workshop, comprising representatives from AMSs, except Singapore, as well as officials from SEAFDEC, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and other relevant organizations. Key sessions focused on the current status of NPOA–IUU implementation, urgent concerns related to IUU Fishing countermeasures, and the initiative to develop the ASEAN Voluntary Guidelines for Transshipment. Participants exchanged views on challenges and gaps in Monitoring Control and Surveillance (MCS), Port State Measures (PSM), transshipment practices, and inter-agency coordination.
The Workshop concluded with agreed ways forward, emphasizing capacity building, strengthening legal and institutional frameworks, enhancing the use of monitoring technologies, and improving regional coordination and information-sharing mechanisms. The outcomes of the Workshop are expected to support AMSs in advancing effective policies and practical countermeasures against IUU Fishing, thereby contributing to sustainable fisheries management and responsible fishing practices in Southeast Asia
