2INDONESIAS COASTAL RESOURCES
- Over 95,000 km coastline rich in coral reefs, sea
grasses and mangroves - Extensive reef area of /-25,000 km2 about 10 of
the worlds total reef area - Highly biodiversity with /- 450 species of
corals, supporting similarly diverse fish and
other marine populations.
3Reef Biodiversity
- 450 species of scleractinian corals
- 2,500 species of mollusks
- 1,512 species of crustaceans
- 850 species of sponges
- 745 species of echinoderms
- 2,334 species of fish
- 30 species of marine mammals

7COREMAP II Goals
- Insure biodiversity conservation and sustainable
management of coral reefs and related ecosystems - Strengthen the capacity of communities and local
institutions to manage coral reefs and related
ecosystems and - Lower the incidence of poverty in the Programs
coastal communities
8Monitoring Concepts for All IndicatorsLessons
Learned from Coremap I
- Indicators should be easily understood and easily
measurable - Collection costs should be as low
- Consistent data sets should be collected on a
regular basis - Management and monitoring functions (and, if
possible, institutions) should be separate - Monitoring institution should be an accredited
and permanent entity - Results should be crossed check by comparing
materials made available by other agencies, NGOs
and communities - Monitoring results should be made public through
wide dissemination
9Management Empowerment Indicators
- No Take Zones Cover 10 of District Reef Area
- 70 of Project Operating Expenses Integrated Into
Regular Government Budget - Awareness of Coral Reef Importance Known by 80
of District Residents
10Biophysical and Socio-Economic
- District Live Coral Cover Increases by 5 Per
Year - CPUE for Indicator Species Increases by 35 by
Project Completion - Beneficiaries Incomes Increase by 10 by Project
Completion - 70 of Beneficiaries Feel the Project Had a
Positive Impact by Project End

17CHALLENGES
- Management interventions such as closure of part
of a fishery tends to be vigorously rejected by
fishers as they perceive the loss will be theirs
alone. - Many coastal villagers oppose to stop coral
mining the coral since they do not have other
livelihood and alternative building material - Funding release may not suit the weather and west
monsoon season whilst monitoring is in certain
period - Comprehensive monitoring needs many skillful
officers, facility and funding which may not
available on time
18CHALLENGES
- Information flow and network from Monev cannot be
easily distributed due to lack of telephone
connection - The results of data analysis are not easily
understood by decision makers who are bureaucrats
and or politician - Feed back to management has not been well
established to re-enforce the adjustment of
decision making. - Incorporating independent journalists and NGOs to
put pressure on misconduct issues or black mail - External factors such as increased oil price lead
to change fishing activities and speed up the
resource exploitation
19RESULTS LEARNING EXPERIENCE
- Coremap establishes district Coral Reef Research
Unit and Sea Partnership to reduce collection
costs, however the quality of the monev results
are not consistent - Consistent data sets are colleted regularly, reef
health monitoring for every two years and
socio-economic assessment for every three years - Monitoring is carried out by Indonesian Institute
of Science and management by Ministry of Marine
Affairs and Fisheries - The monitoring results is crossed check by
comparing materials made available by reef check,
NGOs and communities - Monitoring results is being made public through
website and mailing list
20RESULTS LEARNING EXPERIENCE
- Community based management has triggered
collective actions of communities to prevent
their reefs from destructive fishing. - Coastal community set aside 10 of their reefs to
be fully protected and sustainably use the rest. - Successful examples of community village based
marine sanctuary already exist such as
established in Abang Island-Batam where community
combat destructive fishing can be replicate to
other villages - Coastal community in Arborek Island, and Maumere
Bay-Sikka has benefited from seaweed farming,
hence they change their habits to protect their
reefs from intruders especially fish bombers.
