This had the objective of collecting and analyzing data necessary for the management of fisheries resources and the protection of the environment at a regional level, also to train researchers from member countries on modern research methodologies. Up to the present time, both SEAFDEC departments have continued the second and third phases of collaboration in fishery resources surveys. These surveys using M.V.SEAFDEC and local research vessels in the waters of the Philippines, Vietnam and Cambodia under the three-year collaborative research project for 1998-2000.
