Pada dua dekade terakhir, kondisi ekosistem terumbu karang di perairan Kepulauan Seribu telah menunjukkan degradasi yang mengkawatirkan. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut, mulai tahun 2004 Pemda Kabupaten Administrasi Kepulauan Seribu bersama masyarakat menerapkan program Areal Perlindungan Laut–Berbasis Masyarakat (APL–BM) di lima kelurahan. Tujuan penelitian  adalah : (1) menganalisis tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan APL–BM, dan; (2) menganalisis faktor – faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap partisipasi masyarakat. Pengumpulan data dilakukan selama periode Juni 2011–Mei 2012 dengan menggunakan kuesioner, pengamatan dan kajian pustaka. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah individu pemanfaat utama sumberdaya alam berbasis ekosistem terumbu karang secara langsung. Metode pengambilan contoh yang digunakan adalah acak berproporsi sehingga terpilih 202 responden. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan statistika deskriptifdan inferensia dengan model persamaan struktural (SEM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan : (1) tingkat partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan APL–BM pada keseluruhan tahapan kegiatan adalah rendah dan (2) faktor – faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap tingkat partisipasi masyarakat adalah kemampuan organisasi dan motivasi masyarakat. Kedua faktor tersebut dipengaruhi oleh indikator pendekatan komunikasi, kesesuaian konsepsi program dan intensitas peran penyuluhan. Title: Community’s Participation in Managing Community Based – Marine Protected Area in Kepulauan Seribu District, DKI JakartaIn the last two decades, the coral reef ecosystem in Kepulauan Seribu has shown a significant degradation. Considered this, in 2004 the government of Kepulauan Seribu District initiated collaborative program in five villages and the program called as community based–marine protected area. The researchobjectives were: (1) to analyze community’s participation level in managing marine protected area in Kepulauan Seribu District and (2) to analyze the determinant factors that influence the community’s participation. The data were collected from June 2011 – May 2012 by using questionnare, observation and reviewing existing documents. Units of analizing were 202 respondents of primary stakeholders that utilize fisheries–marine resources directly. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics based on structural equation modelling (SEM). The conclusions of the study are: (1) the levelof community’s participation in managing marine protected is low and (2) this condition is influenced by community organisation’s ability and community’s motivation. Community organisation’s ability and motivation are in low level. The factors which influence community organisation’s’ ability and community’s motivation are communication approaches, the compatibility of program conception and intensity of extention agents roles.

Mangroves support several forms of life, including terrestrial animals, marine animals and humans by providing direct benefits like a source of food and indirect benefits like a buffer against disasters and coastal protection. Community-based mangrove rehabilitation strengthening the benefits that can be availed by the community from mangrove forests for their well-being. This study mainly aimed to evaluate the Community-based Mangrove Rehabilitation in Quilitisan, Calatagan Mangrove Park- Marine Protected Area, Batangas. Specifically, described the progress of mangrove rehabilitation, assessed the major issues and concerns in Mangrove Rehabilitation, identified the best practices and strategies in Mangrove Rehabilitation, and identified the key considerations in mangrove rehabilitation in terms of policy and institution, scientific and ecological preferences, participatory approaches. This study utilized qualitative criteria which answered using Key Informant Interviews (KII). Results stated that through the cooperation of government agencies, non-government organizations and the local community through people’s organization (PO), PALITAKAN (Pro Mangrove Alliance Implementing Team as Arm Quilitisan Advocate of Nature), the mangroves planted to rehabilitate the area and survived after seven years with 80% survival rate. The community is currently getting natural resources for both household and commercial uses and uses the area for ecotourism activities. However, the PO faces issues and concerns with regard to management. In addition, there are some best practices in planting, monitoring, management and livelihood activities and some key considerations in rehabilitation in terms of policy and institution, scientific and ecological preferences, participatory approaches.

The endemic Banggai cardinalfish (Pterapogon kauderni) is an Indonesian conservation priority with Endangered species. The goal of this research was to develop a site-based conservation concept appropriate from a bio-ecological viewpoint, based on the unusual characteristics of this species, in particular: (i) mouthbrooder with direct development, leading to reproductively isolated stocks and fine scale genetic structure; (ii) high level of reliance on habitat, in particular symbiosis with benthic animals providing protective micro-habitat. Methods used include review and analysis of published literature and unpublished data, including an analysis using the Marxan spatial planning software. We suggest several policy options and identify research needs, including: (i) base P. kauderni conservation (protection, rehabilitation and sustainable use) on stocks as the basic management unit; (ii) use data on P. kauderni genetic stocks in the zonation of the proposed Banggai Archipelago marine protected area (MPA); (iii) undertake further research to identify stocks/stock boundaries; (iv) apply the "BCF gardens" concept to fine-scale rebuilding of P. kauderni populations and enabling sustainable use through micro-habitat rehabilitation, with a community-based approach supported by a multi-phase scientific research program. The outputs from this study should support efforts towards sustainable management of the Banggai cardinalfish, particularly in the context of strategies to develop and manage an effective sub-national MPA.

Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are a common management approach that applied to protect and conserve coastal and marine resources in the world. However, in some areas where these approach have been implemented, the goals and targets did not proceed as expected and resulted in methods and objects of study that are relatively irrelevant to the existing conditions. Therefore, a review and more efforts are required to determine the efficacy of the MPAs management. The community based management of marine protected area at Waha Village can be regarded as a manifestation of the local people to meet their needs by utilizing natural resources sustainably. Therefore, this study aims to asses the ecological and socio-economic condition as well as community institutions to determine whether the community based management of the MPA is effective. Ecological data collection was divided into several indicators such as coral reef, seagrass and coral fish community condition that was collected through direct survey using SCUBA. Whereas socio-economic and institutional data was obtained in three stages include observation, semi-structured interviews and surveys. The percentage of live coral cover on MPA of Waha Village was 55,83%. There were 28 species from 9 families and 14 genuses of target fish found in MPA of Waha Village. Seagrass density was 299.87 stands / m2 with average value of seagrass presentation was 63,25%, indicating that seagrass is in good condition. Based on the effectiveness analysis using the Amoeba technique, the indicator values were generally better in performance than the critical threshold value (CTV) indicator. This is because these values have not passed the CTV. The degree of effectiveness of community based management of MPA at Waha Village was 79,17%, suggesting that these management approach is very effective to conserve marine natural resources in the area.Keywords : Effectiveness, management, protected area.

In recent years there has been an increase in community-based monitoring programmes developed and implemented worldwide. This paper describes how the data collected from such a programme could be integrated into a Geographic Information System (GIS) to create temperate subtidal marine habitat maps. A differential Global Positioning System was utilized to accurately record the location of the trained community-based SCUBA diver data. These georeferenced data sets were then used to classify benthic habitats using an aerial photograph and digitizing techniques. This study demonstrated that trained community-based volunteers can collect data that can be utilized within a GIS to create reliable and cost-effective maps of shallow temperate subtidal rocky reef systems.
