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.

70% of SEA Project
will implement activities in North Maluku, Maluku, and West Papua. The SEA
Project had selected Ambon as the regional hub of the SEA Project activities in
the three provinces.  The Ambon office
will coordinate the technical (i,e, programmatic) as well as logistical and
administrative aspects of field activities implemented by NGO partners.  In West Papua and North Maluku, field
activities will be led by WWF and WCS respectively, including offices and its
operations. SEA Project sees the need to have a representative in each office
in West Papua and North Maluku to ensure coordination and alignment of
activities to SEA Project Work plan. The SEA Project will recruit SEA Project
Coordinator for West Papua to coordinate activities and support the SEA Project

Ambon Regional Hub.

III. Job Summary

The SEA
Project Coordinator for West Papua will provide overall coordinator of
technical/programmatic aspect of the implementation of the SEA Project
including project reporting and monitoring activities in West Papua.  The SEA Project Coordinator will report to
SEA Regional Director and will work closely with the Regional Technical
Director based in Ambon.  In addition,
the SEA Project Coordinator will work closely with WWF Indonesia as the lead
