About This Report
from 2021 State of the Fishery: Snapper Fishery. National level with a focus on WPPs 713, 718 & 573
by BGA Ltd
This is the third annual ‘State of the Fishery’ report on the Indonesian snapper fishery covering the years 2019-2021, an initiative of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation and Walton Family Foundation for 2020-2023. It presents a summary of data from January to December 2021, provided by members of the Snapper Consortium, notably the SFP, WCS, The Ocean Conservancy / Poseidon, and TNC-YKAN, and collected from other secondary sources (government statistics). It aims primarily as a discussion piece to help explain the snapper fishery and provide us with opportunities to learn from and give feedback to donors and implementers.

The indicators presented in this report result from a series of consultations held in 2022 among the Indonesia Snapper Consortium. Consortium members include TNC-YKAN, SFP, TLFF, The Ocean Conservancy, and WCS, collaborating with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), Packard Foundation, and WFF. TLFF joined in 2021 through a grant to support TNC-YKAN with their policy engagements.
The indicators fall under four categories: 1) Fishery Health; 2) Institutions, Governance, Management, and Policy; 3) Industry Initiatives; and 4) Communications. These indicators intend to: 1) Track progress, evaluate effectiveness, and showcase lessons from the implementation of the Snapper Initiative across the Consortium; 2) Align methods used for monitoring and evaluation; 3) Capture and integrate learnings into the strategies of both implementers and donors; 4) Assist with monitoring, evaluation, and learning for implementing partners and the donors; and 5) Provide proxies that allow tracking and adaptive learning for the Consortium’s Theory of Change (TOC) for the fishery.
While there is much historical data, an objective of this report is to collate all the Consortium members’ data to provide a snapshot of the fishery that allows for a thorough review of the dataset against the backdrop of the Consortium’s TOC and joint work plan.
