Project Development Goal : Healthy coral reef ecosystems and better quality of livelihood in Pulau Panggang and Pulau Kelapa Village, Kepulauan Seribu Utara Subdistrict, Kepulauan Seribu Regency, North Jakarta. Project Objectives : 1. To manage coral reef ecosystem through collaborative management between stakeholders 2. To promote environmentally friendly fishing tools 3. To open and widen business opportunities for communities. 4. To develop information management system. Expected Output : 1. A model of community-based coral reef management 2. High growth percentage of coral reef on the permanent demonstration plot. 3. Establishment of ice production factory. 4. Establishment of five (5) community groups to manage revolving funds, fish farming, ice production, reef restoration and fisher folk. 5. Increased revenue among communities from ice production, fishing and fish farming. 6. Base-line data to support community-based social-economic, biological and enterprise monitoring Activities to be conducted: Objectives 1. To manage coral reef ecosystem through collaborative management between stakeholders 1.1. Community Organizing To overcome coral reef deterioration, we need to organize fisher folk livelihood capability, through Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) training, facilitated by community organizer. This tool is the first step to build awareness on organization management among fishermen . a. Participatory Rural Appraisal Training The goal of the training is to develop capacity and capability of local community to face and analyze the problem, and formulating activities plan for the benefit of community and natural resources. The training will be participated by 35 individuals from three village. b. Coral Reef Transplantation Training. To develop fishermen s technical knowledge on coral reef transplantation, the type of coral reef for transplantation, the media for transplantation and the observation method. c. Participatory Mapping Training The goal is to teach the fishermen about how to map the conservation and catching area. The map will be made by the community based on their interest. 1.2. Participatory Mapping 1.2.1. Coral Reef Observation and Evaluation To determine the boundaries of project sites through participatory mapping by fishermen and facilitated by project staff. The fishermen should be directly involved in planning and implementation. The goal is to formulate utilization and conservation area. The information will include: a. Highly damaged coral reef area. b. Highly exploited area. c. Protected area 1.2.2. Planning and Determining the Boundaries of Conservation Area Based on formulated map of conservation, it needs to organize meeting among stakeholders of Kepulauan Seribu Utara, to decide : a. General agreement on the status on the conservation area management and the mechanism. b. The map supported by objective field data will be submitted to local government of Kepulauan Seribu Utara, so that the government policy on natural resources management, will be based on community s interest. 1.3. Coral Reef Restoration Human activities had damaged coral reef heavily. According to LIPI and UNESCO research in 1996, the area of coral reef coverage remained just 15%. To save the coral reef it needs : 1.3.1. Coral reef transplantation The transplantation efforts had been done by Taman Nasional Laut Kepulauan Seribu, two years ago. The groups of fishermen will manage the same efforts through planning, implementing and monitoring process. The activities include planning, organizing, action and monitoring. The purpose is to heal the coral reef naturally. The transplantation experiment will be implemented through collaboration with Lembaga Oseanologi LIPI, Faculties of fisheries IPB and Yayasan Terangi. The experiment includes : 1. Preparing concrete container to grow the coral reef. 2. Coral reef which has branches recover better than massive one. 3. The experiment location must have proper hydrologic condition. It is in Pulau Kotok Kecil, Pulau Semak Daun, Pulau Kelapa and Pulau Belanda 4. The experiment result from the habitat with sand and habitat with damaged coral reef will be compared. 1.3.2. Artificial Coral Reef To accelerate the growth of fish home, the artificial coral reef will be made and put in the damaged area. It can be made of concrete. Generally the coral reef in Kepulauan Seribu is in very bad condition. Just the coral reef around four of 40 LIPI research stations are in good condition. 1.4. Participatory Monitoring The fisher folk s group s role is important to monitor all activities. The monitoring result must be submitted every three months. It shows the success of all activities. II. Promoting Environment Friendly Fishery Devices (funded by Canada Fund ) 2.1. Organizing 2.2. Alternative Fishery Device Training 2.3. Alternative Fishery Device III. Creating Business Opportunities To minimize exploitative activities, many business opportunities must be created for opening jobs opportunity and increasing local income. The business must be based on local natural resources. 3.1. Business Management Training Beginning to be entrepreneur may be difficult among the fishermen family. At the first time there may be obstacles in developing small business. Therefore it needs training on how to build entrepreneurship spirit and manage business. The purpose is that at least they know basic knowledge and can run administrative aspect like handling daily cash book, financial boo
