?Sistema Afrodite?: an integrated programme for the inventorying and monitoring of the core zones of the Italian marine protected areas

Several countries, including Brazil, are making compelling case for historical progress towards achieving the targets for marine protection under the Convention on Biological Diversity. However, this can be done through the establishment of large marine protected areas (MPAs) in the open ocean, a conservation strategy that might be only tangential to the core ecological goal of MPA designation, i.e. biodiversity conservation. By using two newly-designated large MPAs in Brazil as an example, we outline three ways in which they indicate poor adherence to best practices in MPA planning: placing no-take MPAs in areas with limited potential for extractive uses, neglecting the need to account for spatial dependencies among areas to maintain populations over time, and the inadequacy of the MPAs to regulate fishing of mobile pelagic species.

Kawasan Konservasi Perairan Daerah (KKPD) ditetapkan untuk berbagai tujuan, termasuk melindungi spesies dan habitat laut, melestarikan keanekaragaman hayati laut, memulihkan stok perikanan, mengelola kegiatan pariwisata, dan meminimalkan konflik di antara beragam pengguna sumber daya. Oleh karena itu, timbul pertanyaan apakah pengelolaan Kawasan Konservasi Perairan Daerah (KKPD) di Selat Dampier Raja Ampat telah dilakukan secara efektif untuk memperoleh hasil yang berkelanjutan serta meningkatkan status sosial ekonomi masyarakat yang ada di kawasan tersebut.Analisis penerapan zonasi dalam pengelolaan kawasan konservasi laut Selat Dampier diukur dengan memetakan kelimpahan dan biomasa ikan karang, memotret persepsi nelayan tentang zonasi serta menilai tingkat kepatuhan nelayan pada batas-batas zonasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan di kawasan konservasi Selat Dampir, Kabupaten Raja Ampat, Provinsi Papua Barat, antara November 2016 dan Oktober 2017. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakan metode survei, termasuk data primer dan sekunder. Metode transek sabuk, dilakukan pada kedalaman 3 m, digunakan untuk mengukur kelimpahan dan biomasa ikan. Responden adalah nelayan terumbu karang yang tinggal di Desa Saonek, Desa Yenbuba, Desa Friwen dan Desa Arborek. Data sekunder diperoleh dari beberapa sumber (Dinas Perikanan Kabupaten, BPS, jurnal ilmiah, dan laporan penelitian). Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dan metode tabulasi silang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem zonasi pada pengelolaan kawasan konservasi di perairan Selat Dampier, Raja Ampat dapat dikatakan cukup efektif terlihat dari kelimpahan ikan dan biomasa yang cukup tinggi pada zona inti dan zona wisata (sebagai Daerah Perlindungan Laut/DPL) dimana pada kedua zona tersebut nilainya 1.5 sampai 2 kali dibandingkan dengan zona perikanan (Non DPL). Rata-rata tingkat kesadaran dan kepatuhan nelayan untuk tidak melakukan penangkapan ikan di daerah zona inti dan zona wisata cukup tinggi yakni 95%, Persepsi sebagian besar nelayan mengekspresikan kesadaran lingkungan dan pengetahuan yang baik tentang kawasan konservasi.Title: EFEKTIVITAS ZONASI DALAM PENGELOLAAN PERIKANAN KARANG DI KAWASAN KONSERVASI PERAIRAN SELAT DAMPIER, RAJA AMPAT Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are defined for various purposes, including to protect marine species and habitats, to conserve marine biodiversity, to restore fishery stocks, to manage tourism activities, and to minimize conflicts among diverse resource users. Therefore, question arises whether there has been effective management of the Marine protected Area in the Raja Ampat Dampier Strait in order to achieve sustainable results and improve the socio-economic status of its society. Analysis of the zoning system in the management of the Dampier Strait was measured by mapping the abundance and biomass of reef fish, capturing fishers’ perception towards zoning and assessing the level of fishers’ compliance at zoning boundaries. This research was conducted in the Dampir Strait conservation area, Raja Ampat District, West Papua Province, from November 2016 to October 2017. Primary and secondary data were collected through surveys. The belt transect method was carried out to a depth of 3 m to measure the abundance and biomass of fish. Primary data were collected from coral reef fishers living in Saonek Village, Yenbuba Village, Friwen Village and Arborek Village. Secondary data were taken from several sources (District Fisheries Service, BPS, scientific journals, and research reports). Data were analyzed descriptively and cross tabulated method. The results showed that the zoning system was effective to manage the conservation areas in the Dampier Strait waters, Raja Ampat since there are abundance of fish and high biomass in the core zone and tourist zo9ne (as Marine Protected Areas) with 1.5 to 2 times amount compared with the fisheries zone (Non DPL). The average level of awareness and average compliance of fishers to prevent themselves from fishing activities in the core zone and tourism zone is 95 %. Most fishers express high environmental awareness and good knowledge toward conservation areas.
