    Purba, Noir P.; Faizal, Ibnu; Valino, Darryl Anthony; Kang, Hooi Siang; Sugianto, Erik; martasuganda, marine kenzi; Abimanyu, A.; Bratasena, T.; Zenyda, K. S.; Prayogo, N.; Ramdhani, F.; Khan, A. M. A. (Springer, 2023-01-22)
    This paper presents the development of low-cost multi-sensor ocean monitoring instrument to measure oceanographic parameters. The aim of this instrument is to fulfil the monitoring specifically for archipelagic countries with complex waters, and it allows for both vertical and horizontal measurements. The platform contains removable sensors, rechargeable batteries, satellite system, and micro-controller. Inside the instrument, the probes are primarily to measure acidity level (pH), water temperature (°C), salinity (ppt), conductivity (ms/cm), turbidity (NTU), and depth (m). Furthermore, data are stored in an internal SD card and simultaneously transmitted to a website portal data via satellite after it goes to the surface water. For validation, several tests had been conducted in controlled laboratory conditions and field setting, in which the test results had shown satisfactory results. In the future, the system will be upgraded by adding extra units of antenna, chlorophyll sensors, and a power changer made from thrusters. Currently, this instrument is operational and available for use in archipelagic countries with dynamics depth.
    Development of the ARHEA was funded by AIS (Archipelagic Island State) Grant 2020–2021. This research is a collaboration between MEAL UNPAD, MOCEAN, and PT Robomarine Indonesia. We would like to thank the KOMITMEN Research Group. Arnisa, Sarah, Adli Attamimi, and Jaya Kelvin had been tremendously helpful in ofering scientifc and outreach guidance throughout the project.

    BFAR Administrative Circular No. 252-1: Series of 2020. Amended rules and regulations governing distant-water fishing by Philippine-flagged fishing vessels operating in other coastal states.
    (Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, 2020-02-03)
    These Rules and Regulations, consisting of 18 sections, are enacted to implement the Republic Act No. 8550 and the National Plan of Action to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing. The scope and application of the Rules and Regulations cover all Philippine-flagged fishing vessels engaged in distant-water fishing in other coastal states. Fishing vessels of Philippine registry with valid Commercial Fishing Vessel License may engage in distant-water fishing provided: a. That the fishing vessel is registered with the Regional Fisheries Management Organization (RFMO) and, where relevant, licensed by the Coastal State; b. That the fishing vessel is compliant with the rules and regulations of the RFMO and/or Arrangements and, where relevant, the Coastal State which has jurisdiction over the waters where it operates; c. That the fishing vessel is compliant with the safety, manning and other requirements of MARINA and other concerned agencies; d. That the fishing vessel holds a valid Distant Water Fishing Permit (DWFP) and fishing authorization from the Coastal State; and e. That the owner of the fishing vessel has provided the BFAR a copy of the authorization/permit/license of the Coastal State if the same has already been issued. Provided that, if the authorization has not been granted yet, a copy of such authorization shall be submitted to BFAR within thirty days from the issuance. All catcher vessels shall have fisheries observer coverage in accordance with the conservation and management measures of the RFMO which has jurisdiction over the area. All catcher and carrier vessels shall be equipped with a two-way ALC in accordance with the conservation and management measures of the RFMO, which has jurisdiction over the area where these vessels operate. Fishing companies shall request the BFAR for authorization to transship at port and at sea and shall submit the information requierd in Section 12 twentyfour hours before the scheduled transshipment. The Rules and Regulations further make provisions for: documentary requirements for the issuance of a distant water fishing permit (DWFP); vessel marking and specifications; timely reporting of catch, vessel entry and exit; inspection and monitoring of landings in domestic ports; declaration of landing in foreign ports; bilateral cooperation with other coastal or port state; offences and penalties; etc.
