To Reform or Not To Reform
Marine Ornamental Industry and Destructive Fishing in Indonesia
Starting in 1998, Telapak initiated and formed a joint effort with several NGOs working on coastal and marine issue to address the need to reform destructive fishing in Indonesia. The joint effort, dubbed ProMola, involves organizations like Lakpesdam in Makassar-South Sulawesi, Yascita in Kendari-Southeast Sulawesi, Yayasan Bahtera Nusantara in Bali, Hivlak in Tual-South Molucca, and YLL in Medan-North Sumatra. The original objectives of ProMOLA are: 1) to identify problems in local level related to marine resource management; 2) to develop local capacity to conduct investigation and monitoring of illegal and destructive practices, analyze the results, and effectively utilize them for policy work; 3) to develop a mechanism for a joint effort of institutions and individuals to monitor marine resource management in Indonesia; and 4) to promote the integration of marine and coastal resource management into the Community Based Coastal Resource Management approach.
Telapak and its partner have then developed a holistic approach into destructive fishing reform, taking coral reef marine ornamental fish industry as a focus. The approach includes an overall reform of the destructive ornamental-fish fishing by providing an alternative technique, building a micro-enterprise scheme, and the development of local collection area management system. An important development was the link up of Telapak and the East Asia Seas and Terrestrial Initiatives (EASTI), which is based in Manila, to strengthen this pioneering approach of conservation, education, and economic development.

By Christa Nooy - BothENDS Barnabas Suebu was on a short business visit to the Netherlands. The governor of Papua came to an agreement with a Dutch company on 'sustainable' logging of tropical forests.
“This is a historical event for Papua”, says Barnabas Suebu. The governor wants to radically change the logging in his province. He just signed an agreement in a hotel in the Hague with the Dutch door-and-window producer Doorwin. The logging and processing of wood from the Indonesian province will apply to the strict norms of the sustainability label Forest Steward Council (FSC). The pilot project will start with a 200.000 hectare forest. A camera team of an Indonesian television station is awaiting him outside. |
