Hello Ecology Friends!

Did you know that..

​

The Marine Affairs and Fisheries Department of Riau Islands Province (DKP Kepri) has gradually made a lot of progress in realizing conservation areas in their jurisdiction. One of them is the East Bintan Island Water Tourism Park (TWP Timur Pulau Bintan) which was determined by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries through Kepmen KP No. 18 of 2022 dated March 18, 2022. The process of developing this conservation area cannot be separated from the support of various stakeholders, including assistance programs from the MMAF, Konservasi Indonesia, Ecology Foundation, and other stakeholders. This assisting activity refers to the action plan that has been agreed upon by various parties, and the assistance will end in December 2022 to increase the capacity of SUOP and partners.

​

Toward the end of the assisting program, YEKR and SUOP conducted a workshop related to the management of this conservation area. The workshop was very strategic given that SUOP is required to be independent in carrying out its function as the manager of the East TWP Timur Pulau Bintan.

 

The aim of these activities are :

1. Evaluate the outputs and activity achieved during the assisting;

2. Identification and inventory of priority activities in accordance with the 2023-2042 management plan document;

3. Evaluate the management plan document to identify challenges and opportunities for future implementation;

4. Introducing the Effectiveness Evaluation of Conservation Area Management (EVIKA) tool in an MPA assessment.
