Overview

The Indonesia Sustainable
Ecosystems Advanced (SEA) Project is a five-year contract that supports the
Government of Indonesia to conserve biological diversity and improve the
governance of marine resources at local, district, provincial and national levels.
By using an ecosystem-based approach to management and engaging key
stakeholders, the SEA Project will 1) enhance conservation and
sustainable use of marine resources by reforming fisheries management and
promoting marine protected areas to enhance fisheries
productivity, food and nutrition security, and sustainable livelihoods within
the target area;
and 2) strengthen the leadership role and capacity of the Ministry of Marine
Affairs and Fisheries
and local governments to promote conservation and sustainable fishing. The SEA
Project is implemented by Tetra Tech and a consortium of partners that includes
Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Coral Triangle Center (CTC) and
WWF-Indonesia (WWF). The SEA Project will run from March 2016 through March
2021.

The
SEA Project is predicated on an ecosystem approach to fisheries and marine
resources management, which implies that it will integrate across sectors and
assist in the development of plans and implementation actions that address
biophysical, governance and socio-economic concerns.  To accomplish this vision of ecosystem
approach and integration, it will need to formulate a consistent level of
baseline information for project areas so that actions and longer-term plans
will truly address the underlying issues and threats to the geographic areas of
focus.  Such an approach will also
provide a model for other areas in Indonesia and a systematic means of scaling
up coastal and marine resource management by local districts, provinces and the
national government.

The
SEA Project will implement activities in the three provinces —West Papua, North
Maluku, and Maluku Provinces—that lie within Indonesia’s Fishery Management
Zone WWP-715. This zone was chosen to be the site of the SEA Project because of
the area’s high marine biodiversity, status as a national priority area for
fisheries, the presence of small island provinces/districts, high rates of
extreme poverty and high vulnerability to climate change. The project will also
operate at a national scale to support specific activities of the Ministry of
Marine Affaires and Fisheries.
