Pada Awalnya...

Indonesia merupakan negara maha kaya dengan berlimpah potensi sumberdaya yang teramat bernilai. Hampir 75 % dari seluruh wilayah Indonesia merupakan perairan pesisir dan lautan. Indonesia..... negeri kepulauan, negeri bahari dengan 3,1 kilometer persegi lautan territorial dan archipelago, serta 2,7 juta kilometer persegi zona ekonomi eksklusif (ZEE). Perairan laut Indonesia teramat kaya dan beragam sumberdaya hayati.... jua terumbu karangnya nan elok tempat beragam biota mengerumuni. Luasan terumbu karang Indonesia saat ini adalah 42.000 km2 atau 16,4 persen dari luasan terumbu karang di dunia. Kondisi ini menempatkan Indonesia pada peringkat ke-2 yang memiliki terumbu karang terluas di dunia setelah Australia. Indonesia juga merupakan pusat pertemuan segitiga terumbu karang di dunia “coral triangle” yang merupakan kawasan dengan tingkat keanekaragaman hayati yang sangat tinggi dengan lebih dari 70 genera dan 450 spesies.

Sepenggal kisah mengenai kemiskinan masyarakat pesisir dan nelayan indonesia sudah banyak tersiar, termasuk kisah mengenai kerusakan sumberdaya laut..... khususnya terumbu karang,... fakta hasil penelitian pusat penelitian oceanografi LIPI tahun 2006 menunjukkan bahwa kondisi terumbu karang yang sangat baik hanya tinggal 5,23 %, baik 24,26 %, cukup 37,34 % dan yang kurang baik atau rusak sebesar 33,17 % . kerusakan terumbu karang memang erat kaitannya dengan kelimpahan sumberdaya ikan disekitarnya..... hal ini tentu saja berdampak pada hasil tangkapan ikan nelayan di sekitar pesisir.... kondisi ekonomi mereka yang kurang dari cukup membuat aktivitas mereka hanya disekitar pesisir dengan alat tangkap sederhana. Hal ini membuat lingkaran setan kemiskinan di wilayah pesisir sukar untuk diurai..... namun, cerita... tinggallah cerita...., marilah beranjak pada kenyataan yang ada.... bahwa BAHARI adalah masa depan bangsa.... dan nelayan dann generasinya adalah agen utama penggerak ekonomi bidang kelautan perikanan yang perlu segera disentuh. Program rehabilitasi dan pengelolaan terumbu karang diharapkan dapat menjawab tantangan ini. Program rehabilitasi dan pengelolaan terumbu karang (COREMAP) yang didesain dalam 3 tahap (inisiasi, akselerasi, institusionalisasi) dengan durasi waktu 15 tahun, saat ini telah memasuki tahap ke-2 (COREMAP II), yaitu akselerasi. Tujuan utama program ini adalah untuk menjaga kelestarian ekosistem terumbu karang sehingga memberikan manfaat bagi masyarakat dalam meningkatkan taraf hidupnya.

Grand Strategy Marine Conservation Area (MCA) Networks

Indonesia is in the centre of the Coral Triangle, which has the world’s highest reef biodiversity. This high biodiversity is not only due to Indonesia’s geographical location around the equator where the Pacific and Indian Oceans mix, but also by the complex currents and the high diversity in habitat types and ecosystems.

Indonesia’s increasing population and economic development are causing increased pressure on marine resources. Failure to adopt environmentally sound development criteria resulted in excessive and unsustainable use of marine resources (over-exploitation). Therefore, there is a need for management that results in a wise, planned and controlled marine resource use.

 

One of the natural resource protection measures that may be applied is protected area management at sites with high biodiversity or with unique natural phenomena. Such protected areas, known as Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), Marine Conservation Areas (MCAs) or Kawasan Konservasi Laut (KKL), ensure sustainable use of marine organisms and their ecosystems. Furthermore MCAs preserve genetic sources (sumber plasma nutfah). An MCA is a marine area, including coastal areas and small islands, where plants, animals, and ecosystems, as well as historical and cultural heritage sites are protected by law or by any other effective means (definition based on KOMNASKOLAUT 2005). Within an MCA, use is regulated through a zoning system, which determines which uses are allowed and where they are allowed. Examples of regulated uses are fisheries, tourism and exploitation of oil and gas.

 

The Indonesian Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (Departemen Kelautan dan Perikanan / DKP) targets to establish MCAs with a combined area of 10 million hectares by 2010. In connection with this target, the Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program (COREMAP) supports the development of MCAs in Indonesia by, among others, the preparation of the “Grand Strategy for a Network of MCAs”, which will be developed into the “National Strategy for MCAs and MCA Networks”. The Grand Strategy and the National Strategy are required as a basic reference to guide the development of MCAs and MCA networks. Furthermore, the National Strategy will form an umbrella for policies and strategies of central and regional governments that are aligned with global developments in this sector.
