USAID SEA PROJECT OVERVIEW USAID Sustainable Ecosystems Advanced (SEA) Project aims to increase fisheries productivity, food and nutrition security, and sustainable livelihoods through the conservation of critical habitats and species within the target area (a subset of WPPNRI-715, one of Indonesia’s 11 fisheries management areas; hereafter, FMA-715) and strategic sites adjacent to FMA-715. USAID SEA Project activities will improve the sustainability and resiliency of marine resources, habitats, marine protected areas (MPAs), and human coastal communities through the promotion of an integrated approach to biodiversity conservation and fisheries management while seeking ways to incentivize stakeholders to align their behavior with sustainable resource use. The primary focus areas of SEA Project efforts are site-based activities at community, district, and provincial scales, but efforts will also continue to strengthen the leadership role and capacity of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) and the Government of Indonesia’s (GOI’s) commitment to the promotion of sustainable fishing and effective MPA management nationwide.

Key Results The objectives of the USAID SEA Project are to:

• Support enhanced conservation and sustainable use of marine resources by reforming fisheries management and promoting marine protected areas to enhance fisheries productivity, food security, and sustainable livelihoods within the target areas.

• Support the strengthening of the leadership role and capacity of the MMAF and local governments to promote conservation and sustainable fishing.

At the end of five years, USAID assistance through USAID SEA Project will have improved the conservation and management of Indonesia’s marine biodiversity through increased capacity and the practical application of marine conservation and sustainable fisheries management. In pursuit of this goal, SEA Project supports USAID’s Biodiversity Conservation earmark, the Feed the Future (FTF) initiative, and the Executive Order and National Strategy on Combatting Wildlife Trafficking. The high-level results that must be achieved by the completion of the project are as follows: At least six million hectares in the target FMA or sub-FMA under improved fisheries management as a result of USG assistance, measured through the MMAF EAFM and MPA Effectiveness Index scores or other approved national or international standards, disaggregated by national, provincial, and district jurisdiction, and by whether within or outside MPAs. At least six policies, laws, regulations, and/or operational protocols in support of marine conservation and sustainable fisheries management created, strengthened, promulgated, and/or enforced at all levels. Key drivers and highest-rated pressures to marine biodiversity show a declining trend in the target areas.


Geographic Locations and Site Selection In the quarter 1 FY17, the USAID SEA Project continues to finalize the target sites for both fisheries and marine protected areas intervention. Based on series of discussions and assessments conducted by partner teams, as of December 2016, there are 13 fisheries locations for intervention and 15 MPAs (seven existing MPAs and around eight new areas). This in total accounted to 39 villages (without West Papua Province) or around 12,745 households. Figure 1 shows the target sites and Table 1 shows in detail the USAID SEA Project target sites for fisheries and MPA for FY16-17.

APPROACHES FOR IMPROVED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT Overview Ecosystem-based management (EBM), including EAFM promotes good governance and integration with conservation, co-management, and stakeholder engagement while simultaneously focusing on multiple objectives at the appropriate scale. This approach is founded on principles of precaution and sustainability, acknowledging that each system, and the natural resource and human interactions within, is unique, not fully understood, and thus requires an emphasis on learning and adaptive management. The USAID SEA Project, uses the EBM principles and approach to address the improvement of fisheries management in Indonesia.

Strategic Approach 2: Improve Ecosystem Management of FMA-715 and MPAs Rapid Assessment of Coastal Habitat, Social Condition, and Resources Use In Teluk Sawai A project baseline is a prominent initiative needed at the beginning of the SEA Project. The SEA Project Baseline Report serves multiple purposes; as a starting point to measure the project impact, and to obtain a better knowledge of the existing condition on the SEA Project working area for better activities planning and implementation. As part of baseline report development, WWF-Indonesia conducted a Rapid Assessment of coastal habitat, social condition, and resources use in Teluk Sawai (Pantai Ora) area, Seram Tengah District, Maluku in November – December 2016. The assessment aims to provide the baseline data of fisheries (targeted species, fishing ground, seasonal variation of fishing, fishing gears, fishing vessels, fisheries trends), aquaculture, fisheries value chains (price, trading system, market, & supply chains), MPA (coastal ecosystem, species of conservation concern, social conditions), marine resources use & governance, and marine tourism activities. The assessment results are being used to determine the best strategy to implement the next steps to establish Teluk Sawai MPA, includes related fisheries activities intervention (EAFM, harvest control rule, harvest strategy, etc.). The government led a survey in 2010 – 2011 to assess feasibility of Pantai Ora, a

small part of Teluk Saway, as a protected area with a focus on marine tourism. Despite the result of the survei, Teluk Sawai area is not yet nominated as MPA by the Maluku Provincial Government.

Technical Approach 1: Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management Fisheries Baseline Assessment

Throughout this quarter, the SEA Project began to collect primary fishery resources data. From December 14, 2016 through February 2017, WCS is conducting a fisheries utilization baseline survey. The objective of the fisheries baseline study is to (i) collect preliminary data and information on the fisheries resource use pattern in North Maluku; and (ii) to get a comprehensive overview of the fisheries utilization patterns in North Maluku, as the basis for the implementation of SEA USAID Project, to improve the effectiveness of fisheries management in North Maluku. To date, a small survey team has collected data from 6 (six) sub-districts (Kecamatan) in Ternate, which includes 50 villages. The data collection was conducted through interviews with key informants, FGD with local fishers, and direct observation.

Figure 2. An enumerator during discussion with local fishers to verify local names for fish in North Maluku

The survey team will continue to other target districts of North Maluku Province including South Halmahera, North Halmahera, and Morotai Districts. The survey will be completed by February 2017.


However, this schedule is subject to the weather condition that can hinder the team’s mobility. In Maluku Province, the fishery scoping had been conducted in the previous quarter by the SEA Project Core Team. WWF has conducted baseline assessment focusing on village Teluk Sawai, Central Maluku District of Maluku Province. Fishery baseline for West Papua Province has not been conducted by the SEA Project partner due to the partner’s limitation of human resources whom they are in the process of recruiting. SEA Project Core Team will provide more attention to this issue and will provide support to ensure that progress is achieved in the next quarter.

Support the Development of FMA-715 FMC Roadmap Based on FMA-718 FMC

In collaboration with NGOs (TNC and WCS), the SEA Project has been supporting Directorate of Fisheries Resources Management or Direktorat Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Ikan (PSDI) of MMAF to identify 2017 initial work plan to pilot the FMA-718 FMA Fishery Management Committee (FMC). The result of this and support for the pilot will serve as a model for initiating the FMA-715 Fishery Management Committee. TNC has provided support for the simulation of FMA-718 FMC. The trial has noted several recommendations for improvement of FMC model. The recommendations include a) clear tasks and function of the FMC taskforce, b) establish coordination mechanism among related agencies within MMAF, and c) the integration of FMC to local level government and stakeholders. The USAID SEA Project will continue to support the piloting FMA-718 FMC that will start in January 2017. The support will include provision of financial support in hiring the executive coordinator of the 718 FMC and facilitation and logistics of three workshops or meetings. In addition, the support will include activities to strengthen FMC structure and model. To date, SEA Project has supported PSDI in developing a scope of work for the FMC Executive Coordinator. The selection process however, is going to be managed by the PSDI.

Fisheries Stock Assessment

Information on the status of fishery stock is essential for USAID SEA Project. The information on status of fishery stock will determine type of harvest strategy and fishery management plans which is one of the mandates of the project. Through several meetings conducted with Center of Fisheries Research and Development or Pusat Penelitian dan Pengembangan Perikanan (PUSLITBANGKAN), it was concluded that the priorities of the target fisheries are red-snapper and grouper, in line with the draft of 715 Fishery Management Plans (RPP). Developing of harvest strategy of these two fisheries for 715 FMA will be the focus of activities. In addition, SEA project will also support catch data collection for tunas to supplement the ongoing harvest strategy development for archipelagic waters (713, 714, and 715 FMAs). By December 2017, SEA Project had conducted two meetings including a socialization and coordination meeting inviting all MMAF agencies involved in the harvest strategy and a focus group discussion (FGD) with PUSLITBANGKAN. The first meeting held on December 7, 2016 was to socialize and coordinate among MMAF agencies on stock assessment and harvest strategy development activity to ensure active engagement and contribution from the related MMAF units such as the capture fishery statistic, logbook, and research units. The second meeting on December 28, 2016 focused on developing a similar perception among PUSLITBANGKAN units on the needs and approaches of stock assessment. This is a crucial stage because there is still variation of the researchers’ opinions related to stock assessment.


The project needs to put into consideration that MMAF is restructuring its units that may affect the Directorate of Fisheries Resources Management or Pengelolaan Sumber Daya Ikan (PSDI) and PUSLITBANGKAN. This may potentially interrupt the effectiveness of the implementation and engagement of the ongoing individuals and units of MMAF. The USAID SEA Project will continue to work closely with the individuals and units, in particular PSDI and PUSLITBANGKAN, in order to anticipate the restructuring of the units.

Support the Strengthening of Integrated Provincial Level Vessel Registration through Sistem Informasi Kapal Izin Daerah (SIMKADA)

MMAF has just established such system named SIMKADA focusing on provincial level registration serving < 30 GT fishing fleets. SEA Project is providing an intensive support to improve registration for <5GT fishing vessels. The support includes strengthening the SIMKADA for accommodating provincial governments’ specific purposes; facilitating training and capacity building for provincial level staff responsible in SIMKADA operation; identifying and verifying <5 GT fishing vessels at community level; facilitating small-scale fishers to have access and to be registered into the SIMKADA data base. To implement this activity, SEA team is working closely with Vessel Licensing and Registration Unit of Directorate General of Capture Fisheries, MMAF. A first workshop to gather support from other ministers involve in vessel registration was scheduled for December 2016. However, this has been postponed due the MMAF Minister’s letter on notice requiring MMAF staff to focus on 2016 work plan review and 2017 planning.

Innovative Logbook


Catch data gathered using the logbook system is an instrument for establishing fishery management and for monitoring fishing efforts and practices. In Indonesia, the compliance and providing accurate information of logbook are weak. Some of the obstacles include the logbook format which is found to be complicated by Indonesian fishers. SEA Project is supporting the MMAF to improve logbook compliance by fishers. To date, some informal discussion with PSDI staff, who manage capture fishery logbook, on the need and opportunity to developing a fisher friendly logbook format. For the next quarter, USAID SEA project is planning to conduct a workshop to gather ideas and inputs for better and suitable format of logbook which can serve the need in managing the Indonesian fishery. Some lessons from the ECOFISH project in the Philippines may be applicable here.

Technical Approach 2: Marine Protected Areas First Regional Meeting of SEA MPA Counterparts Define an SEA/MPA Working Group and Roadmap

The USAID SEA Project supported representatives from North Maluku (University and DKP), Maluku (University and DKP) and MMAF (DG PRL-PHKL), or a total of 5 counterparts to join the 1st International Symposium of Marine Biodiversity and Conservation of Birds Head Seascape (BHS) that was held Nov 2-4 in Manokwari, West Papua. The objective of the SEA Project’s support was to allow participants to learn from the Symposium speakers and sessions, and to meet each other to define a learning network across the SEA Project target locations that could address their MPA work plan and activities. The SEA Project Marine Biodiversity Conservation Advisor, Dr. Stacey Tighe, and NOAA/SEA Sorong Regional Coordinator Mr. Chris Rotinsulu, hosted an evening session to introduce the USAID SEA Project and the MPA Draft Work Plan to a group of 19 participants from DKP and universities of the 3 SEA Project Provinces, as well as NGO representatives from WWF, CI, and TNC. The group discussed and proposed a cross-province MPA team of approximately 25 people that would meet once or twice a year to share efforts and to learn how to develop MPAs and MPA Networks in their provinces that were connected to the national system. The next steps proposed by this informal group included:

• Formalize Points of Contacts and socialize the SEA-MPA Working Group across the 3 provinces and MMAF.

• Develop the MPA Roadmap in each Province through meetings with NGO Partners (WCS, WWF, CTC) and SEA Core Team

• Continue scoping and data collection for Proposed Sites of “No Regret” and for gap-sites based on MPA network design principles

• Continue dialog and conduct a workshop to learn about MPA and Network Design (the presentation theme of Dr. Alison Green of TNC/Australia during the Symposium) in early/mid 2017.

• Consider links to (offer to co-host?) 2017 WWF MPA and Small Scale Fisheries proposed workshop that will likely be held in Indonesia.

Since the initial November first meeting, NGO partners have met with MPA counterparts in the provinces and are developing proposed site profiles. In February 2017 SEA Project will conduct further on-site planning with provincial teams to develop milestones towards the prioritization of conservation


areas in the province for marine spatial planning and fisheries, as well MPA design and development with SEA Project.

Recruitment of Senior Curriculum Specialist and Initiation of MPA Curriculum Development

Mr. Reinhart Paat, was hired by CTC as their Senior Curriculum Specialist on December 15, 2016. His priority task is to update existing assessments of capacity building related to MMAF’s MPA standard working competency, identified training needs, and available agencies to support capacity development in the focus areas. A desktop study on capacity development providers began the last week of December 2016. Capacity assessments are planned by the Coral Triangle Center in January – February 2017. CTC also began the recruitment process for the Local Government Network Capacity Building Specialist. The specialist will be the main liaison for local governments in FMA 715 and tasked to assess local government programming and budgeting in relation to developing modules and delivering trainings on marine conservation and sustainable fisheries.

Socio-Economic Baseline and Social Behavior Assessment Surveys for MPA Sites Initiated in North Maluku


Beginning in October and continuing through February 2017, WCS is conducting a socio-economic survey of communities adjacent to existing and proposed MPAs. The objectives of the socio-economic baseline study are: (i) to collect baseline data and information on socioeconomic condition of local communities in and adjacent to marine protected areas in North Maluku; and (ii) to get a comprehensive overview of the socioeconomic condition, as the basis for the implementation of SEA USAID Project, to improve the effectiveness of MPAs in North Maluku. The baseline socioeconomic assessment was conducted through three phases, pre-assessment, enumerator recruitment and training, and data collection. The Pre-survey phase was conducted on October 29 – 30, 2016 by visiting one fishing village in Tidore (Tomalou Village), one fish market in Tidore (Gosalaha Goto), and one fish market in Ternate (Bastiong).

Figure 5. An enumerator during an interview with local fisher in Moti Island

Enumerator training and the data collection began in November, involving two WCS staff, visiting Maregam Village (Mare MPA) on November 8 – 10, 2016. A team of one WCS staff and one enumerator visited Lelei, Dorolamo, and Talimau Villages (Guraici MPA) on November 11 – 21, 2016. The surveys continued from December 19, 2016 to December 31, involving one WCS staff and eight enumerators. In total, the teams have covered 16 villages and 245 respondents related to the two MPAs.


Early results indicate that most of the villages use fishing as a secondary income and for subsistence, with their primary income derived from farming/cultivation, from district government employment and tourism (Guraici MPA), and in the case of one Mare Island village, hand-made artisanal pottery.

Koon Neiden MPA Development

As a result of WWF-Indonesia efforts since 2014, the Koon – Neiden area of Seram Bagian Timur (West Seram) District, Maluku is now at the Phase of “Nominated MPA” (phase 4 of six phases) towards MPA development. To proceed to the next phase (“Established MPA”, phase 5 of 6), the Koon – Neiden MPA management authority, the Seram Bagian Timur District and Maluku Province, with support from WWF-Indonesia and Universitas Pattimura have submitted the Koon – Neiden MPA management and zoning plan to the MMAF. The Koon – Neiden MPA itself covers an area of 8.134,5 Ha, which consist of 4 islands (Koon Island, Grogos Island, Nukus Island, and Neiden Island). The USAID SEA Project through WWF, took the proposed Koon Neiden MPA as one of their sites and at the moment, MMAF is still reviewing the document, and it is expected to be finalized in January 2017.

Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) on Cetacean in FMA-714 and FMA-715

From November 5-15, 2016, CTC partnered with APEX Environmental to conduct a Rapid Ecological Assessment (REA) on Cetacean populations in FMA-714 and FMA-715, particularly in the areas of Banda and Seram Seas (Ambon to Saparua, Banda Sea Islands group and West Seram). This assessment sought to collect data on 1,022 km of ship’s track from Ambon to Manipa Strait cetacean migration pattern around Banda and Ceram area for future MPA network establishment in the target area. Report is currently still in development phase and it is expected to finalize by the end of February 2017. The report will be part of the Baseline Report.

Fak-Fak New MPA Portfolio Potential with WWF and CI

In December, an official of West Papua Province Fisheries Office, Mr. Bastian Wanma, stated that Fak Fak District has proposed designating 350,000 Hectares of their marine area for conservation. This is a great opportunity for the SEA Project to support the Fak Fak District and West Papua Provincial governments with technical assistance to achieve this objective. WWF has been in contact with the head of the Fak Fak District fisheries office to discuss potential engagement to support this initiative. WWF’s West Papua coordinator has also met with the Conservation International (CI) Raja Ampat Portfolio Manager to identify CI existing and future roles in supporting the district government MPA initiative. CI indicated potential SEA Project engagement to support their BHS initiative by providing technical and financial support to the initiative. The Director of Marine Program of CI has also encouraged CI BHS program to engage with SEA Project for the opportunity of joint effort to establish the functional 350,000 hectares of MPA in Fak Fak. This effort is contributing to the achievement of target number of hectares of biological significance under improved natural resources management as a result of USG assistance (EG.10-2).

Technical Approach 3: Marine Spatial Planning Accelerate the RZWP3K Development and Conduct MSP Baseline Assesment


The USAID SEA Project implementation of Marine Spatial Planning issues in the first quarter of FY2017 were focused on:

1. establishing strong coordination and collaboration with the Directorate of Marine Spatial Planning of MMAF and related ministries/agencies at national level, and with Provincial DKPs at provincial level to accelerate finalization of RZWP3K of Maluku Province, North Maluku Province and West Papua Province

2. reviewing status of draft RZWP3K of each province 3. recruiting technical specialists to support provinces in finalizing RZWP3K 4. conducting baseline assessment on MSP at three provinces

Results that have been achieved in First Quarter FY17 include: Agreement between Directorate of Marine Spatial Planning, and Center of Marine and Coastal Resources of MMAF, Geospatial Information Agency (BIG - Badan Informasi Geospasial), Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI - Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia), and Indonesian Navy Center for Hydrology and Oceanography (DISHIDROS-AL) to mobilize and consolidate all the support of related ministries and/or agencies at the national level, especially on coastal ecosystem, fisheries, and oceanography data, to support marine spatial data collection process for the three provinces and the development process of RZWP3K at provincial level; Agreement between Directorate of Marine Spatial Planning and Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs, and MMAF to engage Ministry of Home Affairs, and Committee for Corruption Eradication (KPK) to conduct strategic advocacy to the Governors and the Head of Provincial Parliaments to secure the required resources at provincial level to finalize of Local Regulation of RZWP3K by October 2017. The advocacy event will be conducted in the next quarter. A rapid review completed by USAID SEA Project Team with MMAF found that quality of the existing draft RZWP3K of all three provinces are not yet adequate, due to 1) lack of reliable data that was used, especially on oceanography data, coastal ecosystem data, 2) participatory mapping to triangulate the secondary data has yet to be conducted by provincial governments, 3) thematic maps do not meet with MMAF and BIG’s standard, 4) the existing result has not delineated the marine and coastal zone as required, 5) lack of capacity of the existing consultant team that was hired by provincial government. However, provincial governments are improving the draft before they submit the interim draft to MMAF in January 2017. SEA Project Core Team, WCS, and WWF continue to recruit staff for MSP Team. The development of MSP Baseline Report is still ongoing. The report will be finalized after final evaluation that will be carried out by MMAF, BIG, LIPI and DISHIDROS-AL in January 2017.

Technical Approach 4: Law Enforcement Improve the Surveillance Effectiveness of Boat Detection for MPA and Fisheries Management

In order to support MMAF in improving surveillance effectiveness, USAID SEA Project Team in close collaboration with NOAA worked intensely to support the Directorate General (DG) of Marine and Fisheries Surveillance to start the further improvement of Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) application as boat detection application. On December 6, 2016, the SEA Team convened a VIIRS Webinar to update the development of boat detection algorithm. The webinar was attended by 15


MMAF surveillance staff from Program Division of DG of Marine and Fisheries Surveillance, Directorate of Monitoring and Surveillance Infrastructure, Directorate of Surveillance of Fisheries Resources, and Directorate of Surveillance of Marine and Coastal Resources. Of 17 of total webinar participants 27% (four participants) were female and 73% (13 participants) were male. The webinar was a good forum to increase MMAF staff understanding about utilization of VIIRS Application for marine surveillance at least for conservation area. Agreement that came out of the webinar is that MMAF and SEA Project will focus to improve the algorithm of VIIRS application and try out the application for surveillance activity in Marine Protected Area. Positive outputs of the webinar include:

• Stronger commitment of Directorate General of Marine and Fisheries Surveillance, especially Directorate of Monitoring and Surveillance Infrastructure, to improve the algorithm of VIIRS application. They consider VIIRS could be a substantial data resource for surveillance, if level of confidence of VIIRS data can be improved. They are committed to work together with NOAA in SEA Project to improve the algorithm. They will also share the requested VMS data to NOAA and SEA Project for this purpose, as far as there is a formal request from SEA Project.

• Center of Marine and Coastal Resources will join the Directorate of Monitoring and

Surveillance Infrastructure, Directorate of Marine Biodiversity and Conservation, and Center of Data and Information in VIIRS working group to improve the algorithm of VIIRS application.


APPROACHES FOR ADDRESSING ENABLING CONDITIONS Overview For the improved fisheries management to be successful, it is crucial to help create conditions whereby sustainable fisheries management and conservation of the marine resources are in the best interest of the stakeholders. In this regard, sufficient incentives and disincentive that address declining fish stocks, policy and regulatory frameworks for managing the fisheries are essential. The SEA Project strategy to enable these conditions include creating demand for sustainable fisheries through awareness raising and advocacy, establishing incentives for marine resource stewardships, advancing policy and regulation for sustainable fisheries management, and institutionalizing capacity building and training which include a consistent system of scientific research and assessment, continual updating of knowledge of best practices and new technologies, and the capacity to disseminate new information, skills, and other support at national, regional, and local levels.

Strategic Approach 1: Create Demand through Awareness Raising and Advocacy Social Behavior Assessment initiated in North Maluku for MPA and Fishing Behaviors

This quarter, WCS conducted a social behavior assessment in North Maluku on topics related to fisheries and conservation. The objective of the Assessment was to identify target audiences, community perceptions, and key messages for outreach messages during the SEA Project. Key questions asked during the social behavior assessment are: (i) community understanding on marine protected area and conservation, (ii) destructive fishing activities, and (iii) community participation in conservation activities. The social behavior assessment was being conducted along with the baseline socioeconomic survey from December 14 of 2016 to February 2017. The survey team consists of one coordinator and eight enumerators (five males and four females). The surveys will be targeting 687 household respondents and 122 key informants from 60 villages in 5 districts. Until the end of December 2016 the survey team has covered 245 respondents from 16 villages.

Capacity Building for Learning Center 715 FMA

WWF has started the initial workshop to identify strategy and actions in strengthening EAFM UNPATTI Learning Centers (EAFM UNPATTI LC) in FMA-715 though the facilitation by EAFM National Working Group (NWG). The first objective was to develop a work plan to enhance capacity of EAFM UNPATTI LC to support EAFM implementation in the area. The workshop has also identified that EAFM UNPATTI LC is the champion to provide technical inputs needed by the provincial and national government in the implementation of Fisheries Management Plan of FMA 715. The questions raised during the workshop indicates that there is still need for socialization on the LC’s roles to support fishery management as some participants had assumed that LC will manage the fisheries in 715 FMA.

Development of Perception Survey on Marine Conservation and Sustainable Fisheries


Throughout the first quarter of FY2017, the USAID SEA Project moving forward with the implementation of SA 1. One of the prominent steps to improve the understanding on and the buy-in to the benefits from conservation and the sustainable use of fisheries is the development of Perception Survey on Marine Conservation and Sustainable Fisheries. This quarter the newly hired CTC-SEA Project Field Communications Officer and CTC Regional Communications Coordinator worked closely with USAID SEA Project Communications and Outreach Specialist, Communications Consultant, and other SEA Project members completed the first draft of the USAID SEA Project Perception Survey on Marine Conservation and Sustainable Fisheries which was tested on November 30, 2016. The pilot was done in collaboration with the Learning Center of Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management at the University of Pattimura (UNPATTI) in Ambon and was attended by 41 participants from different background, from students, governmental officers, to fishermen of Ambon Bay. Figure 8. Participants of the pilot event of “Perception Survey on Marine Conservation and Sustainable

Fisheries” in UNPATTI, Maluku

The survey aims to gauge local communities’ knowledge and perception about marine conservation and sustainable fisheries in their area. Results from the survey will be analyzed and used to support various program materials including a communications strategy. In December 2016, the project’s team worked to finalize the questionnaire for the USAID SEA Project Perception Survey on Marine Conservation and Sustainable Fisheries which is scheduled to be rolled out in three provinces of Maluku, North Maluku and West Papua in early 2017. A scientific reliability test was also conducted to ensure the validity of the survey results going forward.

Meeting with Key-Stakeholders Public Relations Unit in Maluku


As another early step to develop a public education and outreach plan, the USAID SEA Project team also held several meetings with project stakeholders and future institutional partners in Ambon include the public relations unit of the University of Pattimura and the public relations unit of DKP of Maluku Province in December, 2016. Through a good partnership, it is highly expected that the two institutions will support the future activity of the project, especially in creating demand through awareness raising and advocacy. The representatives of partners’ public relations unit expressed their support and are open to future collaboration. Guidelines on potential strategy for future partnership in regards to SA 1 are described under External Communications for Outreach and Behavior Change and Knowledge Management sections of the Integrated Communications and Coordination Plan.

Strategic Approach 3: Increase Incentives for Marine Stewardship Engage Private Sector in Improved Fisheries Management and Fishers’ Livelihoods

Private sector, especially buyers, play significant role for establishing fishery management. The market force they possess is an incentive of compliance of fishery management measures by fishers and stakeholders. SEA Project advertised to seek a partner to adopt this strategy. Three proposals were received, reviewed, and evaluated by SEA Project Core Team. Following a thorough review, MDPI was chosen as a potential implementation partner due to its ability to demonstrate a competitive value and well-defined proposal activities that directly contribute to the SEA objectives. While the focus of the proposal was on the data collection for tuna fishery, related to SA3, MDPI will adopt Fair Trace Scheme to enable integration end-buyers and small-scale tuna fishers in SEA Project focus areas to support fishery sustainability and better fish handling. Also, this scheme will provide direct financial benefit to fishers; a market-based incentive of compliance; that leads for improved competitiveness of small-scale tuna fisheries.

Strategic Approach 4: Advance the Development of Marine and Fisheries Policies and Regulations Participatory Regulatory Assessment for Law No. 31/2014 and Law No. 45/2009 on Fisheries

USAID SEA Project Core Team continue to support Legal and Organization Bureau of MMAF to develop policy paper on Amendment of Fisheries Law. During the first quarter of FY2017, there were two main activities conducted: 1) gathering input of stakeholder in North Maluku on the Amendment of Fisheries Law, and 2) solidifying policy ideas of USAID SEA Project Team (SEA Project Core Team, WCS, WWF, and CTC) on the Amendment of Fisheries Law. From the activity in North Maluku, stakeholders provided 5 (five) key-input that need to be considered in the amendment process of fisheries law. The inputs cover issues as follow:

1. Protection for newly develop fisheries business 2. Proposed changes on the definition of fishing vessel tonnage 3. Protection for local pole and line fishers


4. Suggestion to change the definition of small fishers of law no. 7/2016, since the definition does not reflect actual condition of small fishers in North Maluku

5. Adding detention penalty is more preferred rather than adding financial penalty. These inputs were then forwarded by Provincial DKP, DKP Ternate, Himpunan Nelayan Seluruh Indonesia (HNSI) to the Honorary Council or Badan Keahlian Dewan (BKD) Perwakilan Rakyat Republik Indonesia at a public hearing event. Meanwhile in SEA Project, through an internal discussion on December 15, 2016, the project decided to direct its substantial initiative to at least 4 (four) issues, namely 1) confirmation of EAFM as fisheries management approach in Indonesia, 2) fisheries management mechanism, 3) recognition of customary law in fisheries management, and 4) fisheries management planning. To date, the USAID SEA Project Core Team has provided 2 (two) substantial inputs to the Legal Bureau of MMAF:

1. Explanations in discussion as consideration of the Replacement of Fisheries Law include the need to address issues on: 1) overfishing practices, 2) threats to fisheries stocks, 3) poor fisheries management, 4) poor protection and lack of sustainable practices, 5) weak law enforcement, and 6) minimum utilization of science and technology.

2. Proposing some changes in specific clause of draft Fisheries Law Amendment. The proposed

ideas are 1) Fisheries Management in Indonesian Waters, 2) Fisheries Management in EEZ and Continental Shelf; 3) International Fisheries Coordination (including fisheries activities at border area, cooperation, implement measures of PSM, and treatment to fisheries foreign vessels).

Internal Discussion of USAID’s Environment Projects on Amendment of Law No. 5/1990 on Conservation on Living Resources and Their Ecosystem

In December, Core SEA Team has involved in internal discussion of USAID Projects on Amendment of Law No. 5/1990. In preparation of the meeting, Core SEA Team held a discussion with Legal Bureau of MMAF to identify the MMAF’s policy idea on this law. The finding is MMAF concerns on three specific revision in the Law, for the sake of better effectiveness management of conservation of living resources and its ecosystems:

1. Clearer division of authority and task among ministries, and between central and local government. MMAF is to regulate and manage conservation of living resources (fish) in coastal waters, small islands, Indonesian waters, jurisdictional waters, and high seas).

2. Clear scope of genetic resource (by emphasizing all type of fish as part of genetic resources); refer to article 7 of Law No.31/2004).

3. Recognition of customarily law-based conservation and practices.

Strategic Approach 5: Institutionalize Training and Capacity Building Contribution to MPA Training Curriculum Priorities and Planning with MMAF


The SEA Project joined a one and a-half day Workshop in Bogor on the week of November 22nd and -23rd organized by PUSLAT KP (Pusat Pelatihan Kelautan dan Perikanan, KKP or Center of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Training, MMAF)) and NOAA. The group reviewed the status and proposed a roadmap and priorities for Training Resources targeted to MPA Managers. Topics included training module content, national standard competencies (SKKNI) and the national qualification framework (KKNI) for the Ministry’s MPA managers. At the end of the workshop there were nine standard competencies identified by the participants to be developed further as SKKNI. The SEA Project and NOAA were indicated to support the development several standard competencies, beginning with Sustainable Marine Tourism, which will be tested in the SEA project sites within the FMA 715. PUSLAT KP is leading the initiative and the drafting team members for each SKKNI are being appointed through an official assignment letter from KKP. A member of this Group will be invited to join the SEA Project MPA Working Group (See 2A Bullet above) and NOAA can contribute to short term activities (trainings, workshops) on the theme of ecotourism in 2017 if desired. This effort is contributing to the achievement of number of people trained in sustainable natural resources management and/or biodiversity conservation.

Capacity Building for National and Provincial Government Agencies In Fishery Management

In the first year work plan of SEA project, identifying the needs for capacity develop for fishery managers and planners is the focus of the SEA Project of this activity. By December 2016, SEA team has had several meetings with the counterpart i.e. BPSDM of MMAF. The discussions have suggested for the need to develop EAFM module based on Standard Kompetensi Kerja Khusus and SKKNI. To implement, SEA Project team may collaborate with other NGOs including WWF, beyond their role as SEA Project implementing partner, that has been working in developing EAFM SK3 (Standar Kompetensi Kerja Khusus or Special Competence Standard) training material with BPSDM. In the next quarter, SEA Project will facilitate stakeholders meetings to identify the need and activities for developing SKKK/SKKNI EAFM.

MPA 101 Training

A training of principles of MPAs or MPA 101 was conducted this quarter with 22 fisheries officers and 20 MPA stakeholders (fishers and community leaders). This appears to be the first training ever in marine conservation (outside of the University) held in North Maluku. WCS and CTC jointly conducted two separate classes (Nov 8-11 for a diverse group of 20 MPA stakeholders, and November 14-17, 2016 for 22 North Maluku-based MMAF Fisheries Extension Officers (FEO). Principles of MPAs is basic training that serves as foundation for other MPA competency-based trainings developed to support the need of MPA managers and staff. The FEOs will apply this training in their outreach programs as an early step in developing effectively managed MPAs in North Maluku.


Figure 9 Participants of MPA 101 Training in North Maluku held by CTC.

Following the training, CTC (as the Center of Competency Qualification) and MMAF (as the Independent Training Center) conducted two Competency Qualification Assessments on basic skills related to MPA Planning and Management based on Special Standard Working Competency 2013. At the end of the testing, there were 16 (out of 20) competent participants of the MPA stakeholders group and 10 (out of 22) competent participants of the FEO group. Those who gained competency will progress to other, more advanced trainings as relevant. This effort contributes to all five SEA Strategic Approaches and their PMI Indicators., but primarily SA2.1a and SA5.1. A desktop study on capacity development providers has started in the last week of December 2016. Upon approval for capacity assessment Coral Triangle Center will conduct assessment in January-February 2017.


MANAGEMENT COMPONENTS AND CROSS-CUTTING ACTIVITIES Mobilization Activities In the first quarter, the USAID SEA Project inaugurated its central office in Jakarta, located in the Sona Topas Tower, 16th Floor, Jl. Jendral Sudirman Kav. 26, Jakarta 12920, through an office warming lunch that took place in December 9, 2016. The project invited numerous key-partners and stakeholders during the office warming celebration include representatives of USAID, MMAF, implementation partners, USAID projects with relevant issues, NGOs with similar interests. For the Ambon SEA Office, the Office of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Maluku Province in Ambon invited USAID SEA Project to share office space in their new building, which was accepted by the SEA Core Team. Finalization of SEA Ambon Regional Office setup is ongoing but the office was operational by the end of December. A MOU between the SEA Project and the Provincial Fisheries Office for use of the office space was also signed in late December. In the first and second quarters of first year work plan, Tetra Tech activated the key USAID SEA Project personnel (the SEA Core Team) as well as the proposed long-term employees, and it continued to recruit for the vacant technical and support staff positions that were approved upon contract award in this quarter. Below is the list of USAID SEA Project personnel joined in this first quarter: Table 2. USAID SEA Project New Staffs October – December 2016

During this quarter, USAID SEA Project implementing partners also recruited personnel in accordance to the staffing plan agreed as reported in the Technical Approach 2 Section. In the next quarter, the USAID SEA Project will continue to recruit prospective staff to fulfill its human resource requirement for the project implementation.

Communications and Coordination with Other Programs One of the primary tasks in the first quarter of FY2017 was the development of USAID SEA Project Integrated Communications and Coordination Plan. The SEA Project continues to develop the Plan in parallel with the Strategic Approach 1 implementation plan. This plan is the product of extensive coordination and inputs from various sources within the project core team and partners. In the next quarter, the USAID SEA Project team will continue to finalize the Integrated Communications and Coordination Plan then request for approval from USAID by January 2017. Following approval, the team will distribute information on project’s communication and coordination plan to all USAID SEA Project members i.e. Core Team and implementation partners.

Refining M&E Indicators and Protocols The SEA Project Core Team conducted two coordination and planning meetings (October 10 and November 24, 2016) in Jakarta with the NGO Partners to refine common protocols and to review implementation plans for conducting site profiles and baseline data collection. Results included:

1. SEA Project ME&L Working Group defined 2. Review of 13 SEA Project PMI Indicators and agreement on common protocols for

collection of data 3. Discussion on baseline and USAID Impact Evaluation status/needs from SEA and partners 4. Roadmap and plans for 2-6 months toward finalizing site profiles and baselines

In the First Quarter of FY2017, the SEA Project under no obligation to report on indicators and as such there is nothing to report. Regardless, SEA Project laid out the basis of the ME&L Plan in Appendix III.


PROGRESS THIS QUARTER: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES This quarter has seen some challenges that have slowed the completion of a few activities while at the same time, much progress has been made on most areas of the work plan as noted in this quarter report. Several major challenges and their potential solutions are:

• Difficulty of determining all the project sites and conducting scoping trips to each potential site given the number and distance of potential sites and also given that implementing partners were not all prepared yet with staff on board and a specific plan for field scoping surveys. A major emphasis on field level coordination with all partners and SEA Core Staff will address this problem in the coming quarter.

• The finalization of the Rapid Assessment Report by the SEA Team as a precursor in determining all field sites and finalizing field strategies has been difficult due to the volume of information to be compiled and the analysis of that data in a manner which assists the entire SEA Project Team in its design of its field operations. Together with this, the Project Monitoring Indicator baseline report is still in draft form due to the inability to recruit the necessary data from the field partners during this quarter. The SEA Team having its M&E Specialist will assist in solving this together with the full operation of the partner field teams in the coming quarter.

• Understanding the issues facing fisheries management in Indonesia takes some time to fully

internalize for planning the most strategic interventions by the SEA Project. Examples of discussions which are ongoing pertaining to fisheries and what is practical to accomplish is on the registration of fishing vessels and how best to address this need, the most efficient manner to set up and make functional the FMA715 management council and how to best address the needs of fisheries logbook maintenance as an essential input to fish stock assessment and a harvest control strategy. Several FGDs will be conducted in the coming months at both the national and local level to help improve the strategy development for SEA.

• The integration of MPAs as a fisheries management tool is well understood among the SEA

Project Team but will take time to build understanding among all implementing partners so EAFM is seen to be fully inclusive of MPAs as a tool for fisheries management. This will be addressed starting in the next quarter through a road show with all relevant partners at the local scale to build this awareness.

More specific challenges and opportunities for the quarter are shown in Table 3.

Table3.List of Challenges and Opportunities Quarter 1 FY2017


Table 3. List of Challenges and Opportunities Quarter 1 FY2017

CHALLENGES OPPORTUNITIES

APPROACH FOR IMPROVED FISHERIES MANAGEMENT

Technical Approach 1: Ecosystem Approach of Fisheries Management

Difficulty to find committed and experienced enumerators in North Maluku (WCS).

• Approximately half of the fisheries and socioeconomic enumerators were recruited from outside of North Maluku (i.e. Bogor, Bandung, Manado).

• Intensive training on survey method was conducted prior to the survey.

• Khairun University fisheries faculty is quite new section, and they will be encouraged to join activities once initial baselines are done.

• Engaging with local universities is challenging but essential to build local capacity

Timing of project started not quite suitable for field surveys, due to rough weather at the end of 2016 (WCS and CTC)

Ecological surveys moved to April 2017 to get the best weather. Start-up problem should not re-occur.

WWF progress on fishery target villages have been quite slow due to the time required to recruit local staff.

SEA Project Core Team will work more closely with WWF team to expedite progress and try to facilitate recruitment of staff from the area.

Amidst the great coordination and support with counterpart, challenges on effectiveness remain which reflect the early stage in the project cycle

A persistence and more intensive engagement by SEA Project Core Team will be undertaken with project partners as partner staffing improves.

Data availability is a major constraint for conducting reliable stock assessments.

At this stage, the methodology will be improved and designed to use the best catch data available; improvement can be suggested and adopted in stages as implementation proceeds.

Technical Approach 2: Marine Protected Areas

Lack of understanding by government officers and stakeholders on the marine protected area system in Indonesia, including existing regulations guidelines. (WCS).

Training on basic MPA management (MPA101) for local government, NGO, and community. One more of MPA101 training will be conducted in Morotai. Soon SEA Project will be developing some core outreach materials and activities that will also help this, particularly in our target sites.

Lack of understanding of stakeholders and decision makers on conservation planning (WCS).

WCS will conduct CAP (conservation action planning) training for decision makers and key stakeholders in North Maluku.


Difficulty to find committed and experienced enumerators in North Maluku (WCS)

• Approximately half of the fisheries and socioeconomic enumerators were recruited from outside of North Maluku (i.e. Bogor, Bandung, Manado).

• Intensive training on survey method was conducted prior to the survey.

• Khairun University fisheries faculty is quite new section, and they will be encouraged to join activities once initial baselines are done.

Technical Approach 3: Marine Spatial Planning

The limited in-situ data for spatial analysis, including data on coastal ecosystem, fisheries, and oceanography.

• SEA Project Team will support MMAF and provincial governments to prepare national and provincial workshops to consolidate any potential support for MSP data.

The limited human resource to conduct the spatial planning.

• SEA Project Core Team will support MMAF and Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs to prepare a National Forum of RZWP3K Acceleration with objective to get concrete commitment of Governors and Parliaments to allocate sufficient budget for RZWP3K finalization.

The limited budget of provincial government to finalize the RZWP3K as required by MMAF’s technical guideline.

• Recruitment of MSP Team that is being processed by SEA Project Core Team, WWF and WCS in coordination with MMAF and Provinces

Technical Approach 4: Law Enforcement

DG of marine and fisheries surveillance considers the level confidence of VIIRS data for surveillance activity is still low, due to the algorithm limitation.

• Activity to improve VIIRS algorithm will be conducted by a working group that consists of Directorate of Monitoring and Surveillance Infrastructure, Center of Marine and Coastal Resources, Center of Data and Information, and Directorate of Marine Biodiversity and Conservation.

• Member of the working group will get access to the VIIRS data that shared daily by NOAA.

• SEA Project will send formal request to get access to 45 VMS data that will be used to improve VIIRS algorithm

Level of trust among involved parties still needs to be improved for VIIRS

Continue to work with DG of Surveillance to address the use, function, and protocols of VIIRS

APPROACH FOR ADDRESSING ENABLING CONDITIONS

Strategic Approach 1: Create Demand Through Awareness Raising and Advocacy

Delay in procurement of equipment for CTC-SEA Project Field Communications Officer.

Propose clear set of timeline and guidelines for procurement to ensure that required equipment are available when needed.


Questions on Perception Survey Effectiveness and Reliability.

SEA Project through CTC conducted a pilot or trial session to: • Assess the effectiveness survey questions, assess the

level of knowledge and understanding, as well as recognizing the present behavior of the public related to sustainable fisheries management and marine conservation.

• Seek advice and input from competent parties to finalize the perception survey questionnaire before field implementation.

• A survey reliability test was completed.

Strategic Approach 3: Increase Incentives for Marine Stewardship

There is no challenge for this SA as the activities have not started in a substantial manner

Strategic Approach 4: Advance the Development of Marine and Fisheries Policies and Regulations The variety of studies and recommendations floating around and being discussed by different technical assistant projects causes some level of confusion.

SEA policy team will try to consolidate various proposed options for legal and policy amendments and will conduct a synthesis workshop in the 2nd quarter to bring key players together

Strategic Approach 5: Institutionalize Training and Capacity Building

Delay in recruitment of Senior Curriculum Specialist by CTC due to administrative process

Need priority assessment conducted (flexible location) prior to identifying staffers long-term field location

Overall Strategic and Technical Approaches

SEA Project dedicated (fulltime) staff recruitment process was difficult (WWF)

Implemented: • Head hunting • Extend the vacancy period • Proposed: • Simplify the recruitment process, include the reviews

from Tetra Tech

Aligning the activities implementation strategy, including the time line among the SEA Project’ internal parties and between SEA Project’s internal parties with external stakeholders. (WWF)

Periodical thematic / programmatic working group coordination updates / call conference should be developed

Some units of the MMAF are being restructured, that can will affect the implementation of the SEA project activities.

SEA Project cannot directly intervene this. However, at the best, SEA Project will try to maintain close coordination and strategically engage MMAF staff.

Agreement between Directorate of Marine Spatial Planning, and Center of Marine and Coastal Resources of MMAF, Geospatial Information Agency (BIG - Badan Informasi Geospasial), Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI - Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia), and Indonesian Navy Center for Hydrology and Oceanography (DISHIDROS-AL) to mobilize and consolidate all the support of related ministries and/or agencies at the national level, especially on coastal ecosystem, fisheries, and oceanography data, to support marine spatial data collection process for the three provinces and the development process of RZWP3K at provincial level.



North Maluku · Marine spatial data for South

Halmahera, North Halmahera, and West Halmahera in North Maluku collected

A rapid review by USAID SEA Project Team with MMAF found that quality of the existing draft RZWP3K of all three provinces are not yet sufficient, due to 1) lack of reliable data that was used, especially on oceanography data, coastal ecosystem data, 2) participatory mapping to triangulate the secondary data has yet to be conducted by provincial governments, 3) thematic maps do not meet with MMAF and BIG’s standard, 4) the existing result has not delineated the marine and coastal zone as required, 5) lack of capacity of the existing consultant team that was hired by provincial government. Provincial governments are improving the draft before they submit the interim draft to MMAF in January 2017.

TA3 • Maluku, North Maluku and West Papua are included in the weakest of provinces in MSP finalization. Their progress are very slow due to lack of data, lack of HR capacity, and complexity of each provinces. The current status is categorised at initial stage (thematic map development)

• Quality of marine spatial thematic map that have been developed by Maluku and North Maluku are still poor. Their main problem are quality of data and they are supported by terrestrial spatial planner instead of MPS specialists.

• Target to legalize the MSP Perda in Maluku, North Maluku and West Papua as instructed by the Minister of MMAF is pessimistic to be achieved.

The initial information that gathered by SEA Project from the DKP is not reflected the actual condition. Because the marine spatial thematic map of SEA Provinces can not be accepted yet by MMAF and BIG.

• Status of RZWP3K is in draft and need to be improved significantly. Local Budget has been allocated about IDR 750 million for finalizing the RZWP3K.

• DKP has drafted SOP for licensing of marine spatial use to be proposed to Bappeda, and

Quality of the existing draft RZWP3K is not yet sufficient. In general the existing draft is not really different with the terrestrial spatial plan. It is indicated by: 1) Less reliable data that was used, especially on oceanography data, coastal ecosystem data, 2) participatory mapping to triangulate the secondary data has not been conducted yet by Provincial Government, 3) thematic maps do not meet with standard of MMAF and BIG, 4) the existing result has not delineated yet the marine and coastal zone.

• Core SEA Team can support Province of Maluku to invite all the NGO in Maluku and Pattimura University to share the relevant data that is needed for the RZWP3K

• Government of West Papua has proposed Sorong as Special Economic Zone for Fisheries Industry. Fisheries industries and integrated logistic system will be developed at this area. Fisheries Port will be developed in Sorong (Katapop) and Kaimana. Sea Toll will be developed to connect Sorong Port – Seget – Arar – Bintuni – FakFak – Kaimana – Manokwari – Oransbari – Wasior

Quality of the existing draft RZWP3K is not yet sufficient. Improvement is very significantly required. It is indicated by: 1) Unreliable data that was used, 2) participatory mapping to triangulate the secondary data has not been conducted yet by Provincial Govt, 3) thematic maps do not meet with standard of MMAF and BIG, 4) the existing result has not delineated yet the marine and coastal zone.

• WWF (SEA NGO Partner) can support Province of West Papua to invite all the NGO in West Papua and Papua University to share the relevant data that is needed for the RZWP3K.

Quality of the existing draft RZWP3K is not yet sufficient. In general the existing draft is not really different with the terrestrial spatial plan.

• Provision on fisheries management to ensure sustainability of fisheries stock is missing in the draft.

Input of Stakeholder in North Maluku:

• Protection for newly develop fisheries business

• Proposed changes on the definition of fishing vessel tonnage

• Protection for local pole and line fishers

MMAF and Core SEA Team face very limited time to discuss and advocate the BKD and Commission IV of Parliament. It is because the schedule for final determination of PROLEGNAS almost due by end of Dec 2016.

It is potential topic for SEA Team collaboration with RARE, MoHA (related to Law No. 23/2014 that significantly impacted to fisheries practices), IPB, Pattimura University, Papua University and Khairun University.







relevant) Abdul Halim • Definition of small fishers of

Law No. 7/2016 does not reflect actual condition of fisherman in North Maluku.

• Adding detention penalty is more preferred rather than adding financial penalty.

Input of Core SEA Team on the academic paper and draft Replacement of Fisheries Law has been accommodated by DKP, HNSI and BKD. The main substantial inputs are:

• Proposing some explanations in academic paper as consideration of the Replacement of Fisheries Law: 1) overfishing practices, 2) threat to the fisheries stock, 3) less effective fisheries management, 4) less effective protection to sustainable practice, 5) less effective of law enforcement, and 6) minimum utilization of science and technology.

• Proposing some changes in specific clauses

Proposing additional provision in Chapter of Fisheries Management. The proposed idea are 1) Fisheries Management in Indonesian Water, 2) Fisheries Management in ZEEI and Continental Shelf; 3) International Fisheries Coordination (including fisheries activities at border area, cooperation, implement measures of

21 Office of LESTARI Project

USAID: Ibu Heather, Ibu Celly, and ...

USAID’s Environment Projects: BIJAK, LESTARI, ASLI, and TFC Sumatera

Core SEA Team: Yuni

SA4, TA2 - Information about the potential

support of USAID’s Environment Projects to the revision of the Law in FY 2017: o BIJAK: support in dratfing the

draft Law, support in policy advocacy

o LESTARI: mobilize STTA, and provide lessons learnt from the field

o ASRI: facilitate policy dialogue events, mobilize STTA

o TFC Sumatera: support in drafting the draft Law

o SEA: limited support by providing lessons learnt from the fields.

- MMAF concerns on three specific revision in the Law, for the sake of better effectiveness management of conservation of living resources and it’s ecosystems: o Clearer division of authority

and task among ministries, and between central and local government. MMAF is to regulate and manage conservation of living resources (fish) in coastal waters, small islands, Indonesian waters, jurisdictional waters, and high seas)

o clear scope of genetic resource (by emphasizing fish (all type of fish) as part of genetic resources); ref to article 7 of Law No.31/2004)

Clarity of institutional arrangement for better management of conservation of living resources and it’s ecosystems is still the most and hardest substative issue to be addressed internally among Government of Indonesia in the context of amendment of Law No. 5/1990

USAID’s Environment Projects could work together to facilitate policy dialogues on the Institutional Arrangement of Management of Living Resources and Ecosystems Management.
