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.

Background

At the end of five
years, the SEA project is expected to improve the conservation and management
of Indonesia’s marine biodiversity through improved capacity and practical
application of marine conservation and sustainable fisheries management.
High-level results that must be achieved by the completion of the project are:

1.    
At
least six million hectares in the target WPP or sub-WPP 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.

2.    
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.

3.    
Key
drivers and highest-rated pressures to marine biodiversity show a declining
trend in the target areas.

The key aspects to
the successful achievement of SEA Project objectives include effective project
administration, coordination, communication, and adaptive management.  Continuous programmatic/administrative support
for COP/DCOP as decision makers of the project is essential.  The SEA Project will recruit the  Program Coordination and Communication
Assistant to provide support on administrative aspects of the project to COP
and DCOP and to support the Communication and Outreach Specialist.
