非法跨境捕鱼是东南亚重要的海上安全问题。东南亚国家沿着在该地区有利益的其他国家，建立了三个新的多边渔业相关机构安排，这些机构的成员重叠但不同：《关于非法、未报告和无管制的捕捞活动的区域行动纲领》;东盟-东南亚渔业发展中心战略伙伴关系;以及《珊瑚三角倡议》。这些多边安排中的每一个都有可能通过建立多中心联盟和能力，帮助东南亚国家更有效地处理以索马里为基础的安全问题。然而，到目前为止，它们的影响有限。部分原因是它们仍然主要是技术支助机构而不是管理组织。此外，各国需要在解决悬而未决的边界争端方面取得更大进展，并解决其管辖范围内沃茨的渔业能力过剩和过度捕捞问题。各国无法充分解决这些问题，因为渔业部门通常在国家优先事项中的地位较低。此外，国家在渔业方面的利益仍然集中于眼前的粮食和经济需要，在国际关系中则集中于管辖权。
Illegal cross-border fishing is an important maritime security issue in Southeast Asia. Southeast Asian states, along with other states with interests in the region, have created three new multilateral fisheries-relevant arrangements of agencies with overlapping but different memberships: the Regional Program of Action on Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing; the ASEAN–Southeast Asia Fisheries Development Center Strategic Partnership; and the Coral Triangle Initiative. Each of these multilateral arrangements has the potential to help Southeast Asian states deal with fisheries-based security issues more effectively by building polycentric coalitions and capacity. So far, however, they have had a limited impact. This is partly because they are still principally technical support bodies rather than management organizations. In addition, states need to make greater strides towards settling outstanding border disputes and address fisheries overcapacity and overfishing in waters under their jurisdiction. States are unable to address these problems adequately because the fishery sector is typically low in national priority. Moreover, national interest in fisheries remains concentrated on immediate food and economic needs, and, in international relations, on jurisdictional rights.
