Marine conservation across protected area boundaries

Title (Bahasa Indonesia): Status dan strategi kawasan konservasi perairan daerah di Desa Uwedikan, Kecamatan Luwuk Timur, Kabupaten Banggai Marine Protected Area (MPA) in Uwedikan Village is a conservation area established through Banggai Regent’s decree since 2008. The establishment of a marine conservation area does not necessarily solve its management problems. The study aimed to examine the sustainability status of the MPA management of Uwedikan village and to formulate a managementstrategy. Research method used wasa descriptive method through case study approach. Data collection employed questionnaires-basedinterviews on respondents. The data were analyzed by using Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries Status (Rapfish) to obtain the sustainability status of the MPA in Uwedikan. The Rapfish outcome wasthenanalyzed using Diagnosis and Therapy Analysis of Law (DTAL) to formulate a strategy for the existing management.Kawasan Konservasi Perairan Daerah (KKPD) di Desa Uwedikan merupakan kawasan konservasi yang telah ditetapkan melalui keputusan Bupati Banggai sejak tahun 2008. Penetapan suatu kawasan konservasi laut tidak serta merta dapat menyelesaikan permasalahan pengelolaannya. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengkaji status keberlanjutan penatakelolaan kawasan konservasi perairan daerah Desa Uwedikan dan merumuskan strategi pengelolaannya. Metode penelitian adalah metode deskriptif melalui pendekatan studi kasus. Pengumpulan data melalui wawancara kuesioner mendalam terhadap responden. Data hasil kuesioner diolah menggunakan analisis yang ada pada Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries Status(Rapfish) sehingga didapatkan status keberlanjutan penatakelolaan KKPD Uwedikan saat ini.Hasil dari Rapfish di analisis menggunakan Diagnosis and Therapy Analysis of Law(DTAL) untuk merumuskan strategi terhadap penatakelolaan yang ada.

Abstract. The Banggai cardinalfish Pterapogon kauderni is a species of national and international conservation concern. Established in November 2019, the Banggai marine protected area (MPA) in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia covers most of the endemic range of this ornamental fish. The third repeat survey (T2 monitoring) under the National Action Plan for Banggai Cardinalfish Conservation (NAP-BCFC) was carried out in October 2019 at eight sites in the Bokan Kepulauan region within the MPA. The T2 monitoring used the standard NAP-BCFC belt transect method. Data were collected on P. kauderni abundance (by size class: recruits, juveniles, adults) and microhabitat (sea urchins, sea anemones, hard corals, and others). Data were evaluated with respect to the T0 (2017) survey and T1 (2018) monitoring at the same sites, as well as previous surveys in 2004 (2 sites) and 2012 (4 sites). The data show wide between-site variation in P. kauderni and microhabitat parameters, with one subpopulation at very high risk of extirpation. Trends included declines over time in P. kauderni, sea urchin and sea anemone abundance, with an increase since 2017 in hard coral microhabitat use by adult P. kauderni. We recommend evaluation of other P. kauderni populations in Bokan Kepulauan and specific site or zone-based actions. However, we conclude that the most urgent priority for P. kauderni conservation in Bokan Kepulauan is protection of key microhabitat through a moratorium on sea urchin and sea anemone collection in P. kauderni habitat.
