EXECUTIVE SUMMARY •
•
Seagrasses play important role in the in the production of organic matter in the coastal ecosystem which form the basic foundation for the food chain in the sea. They also provide habitat and shelter for fishes, shellfishes, and crustaceans, where many of them have economic importance. Beside that, the seagrasses also help in stabilizing the shoreline. Several kinds of endangered species depend on the seagrasses for their life such as the green turtles and dugongs. Seagrass of the East Coast of Bintan is still rich in biodiversity but also under development pressure. There are 10 species of seagrass found in the area; i.e. Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulata, Thalassodendron ciliatum, Halodule pinifolia, Halodule uninervis, Syringodium isoetifolium, Halophila ovalis, H. spinulosa, while 12 species are found in Indonesia and 18 species are found in the South China Sea region respectively. They form monospecific and mixed vegetation. Thalassodendron ciliatum, Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia hemprichii have been recorded as the most common species spread in the area. The existence of endangered species according to the Red List of IUCN were also reported, i.e. dugong (Dugong dugon), sea horse (Hippocampus sp.), green turtle (Chelonia midas), hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata). There are also endangered species with national criteria such as giant clam (Tridacna gigas, T. squamosa , T. crocea) and top shell (Trochus niloticus). •
It is in this context that project known as “Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitats in Trikora Beach, East Bintan, Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia” was created and expected to contribute positive impact to the seagrass management. It was executed by Puslit Oseanografi, Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (Research Center for Oceanography, Indonesian Institute of Sciences) Collaborated with Local Goverment of Bintan District from November 2007 to October 2010. It was developed responding to the increasing threats such as sedimentation, reclamation land‐
base pollution and sea base pollution on the seagrasses especially in East Coast of Bintan. The objective of the project is to demonstrate a set of stress reduction measures effective at a regionally significant sea grass habitat in Bintan, aiming to achieve three major outcomes: (i) improved management of the area through the establishment of appropriate institutional arrangements to ensure a wide range of relevant stakeholder participating in decision making; (ii) awareness and support for the importance of seagrass habitats and associated ecosystems increased and capacity for seagrass habitats management improved; and (iii) environmental sustainability of local economic activities increased: through the creation of an environment for sustainable economic activities such as sustainable tourism and other types of alternative income generation options. •
The most important output of this project is actually the establishment of EBCoMBo (East Bintan Collaborative Management Board). It consist of Navy, Police, Resort owners, Tourisms Office, NGOs (Fishermen Leader), Fishery and Marine Affairs Office, Head of Sub‐
districts, Head of demosite Villages, BAPPEDA (District Planning and Development Body) and other relevant stakeholders. This board was expected to be a communicative forum to discuss environmental or socio‐economic issues in East Coast of Bintan through cross‐
sectoral and participatory manner among stakeholders. •
The board has conducted five meetings and resulted proposal to protect seagrass area in the East Coast of Bintan. The political support by Local Government was manifested through Head of District Decree No267/VI/2010 to declare that all of the seagrass area in the eastern coastal area of Bintan Island was designated as conservation area and dugong as marine protected animal. In this conservation zone it was declared also 5 seagrass sanctuaries in 4 villages; 2 in Pengudang, 1 in Berakit, 1 in Malang Rapat and 1 in Teluk Bakau. These seagrass sanctuaries were legalized through village decree signed by each of Head of Village. Such an achievement also contributed to the success of the Bintan District iii
Government by wining the Indonesian Coastal Award delivered during the Indonesia’s Coastal Zone Conference in Ambon, Mollucas in August 2010.These are considered to be the highlighted progress of the project. •
In order to improve the management of coastal ecosystem in sustainable manner, this project assisted Bintan Government in Managing the East Coast of Bintan through three significant reports: The East Bintan Coastal Resources Management Plan, East Bintan Coastal Area Zoning Plan and Sustainable Tourisms Spatial Plan. These plans was approved by the second EBCoMBo meeting in 23rd December 2008, and adopted by the fifth EBCoMBo meeting in 27thJanuary 2010. •
The people from targetted villages were also trained to leverage their income through sewing skill, fruit farming, handycraft and other practical skill. They were also trained to manage coastal resource in sustainable manner of their coastal area especially seagrass bed. The project provided ‘seed fund’ to the selected household from Teluk Bakau, Malang Rapat, Berakit and Pengudang Villages as incentive for implementing the above training skill. •
At the national level, results of the seagrass ecological research under this project was used as one of major references for preparing national policy and strategy on seagrass management and for revision of national regulations including: 1. The National Conservation Strategy for Dugong in Indonesia: The preparation of this Strategy was conducted during the National Dugong Conservation Workshop convened in Manado, 3rd‐5th December 2008; 2. The Strategy and Action Plan on Seagrass Conservation, which was prepared and adopted during the National Workshop on Indonesian Seagrass Management held in Jakarta in November 2009. The workshop was sponsored by the Ministry of Marine Affair and Fisheries, the Research Center for Oceanography‐LIPI/TRISMADES Project and the Ministry of Environment; 3. Revision of Government Regulation No.19/year 1999 concerning marine pollution and marine degradation control, specifically on the development of criteria for designation of seagrass condition. The initial workshop was held in Bandung on 11th‐12th November 2010; and, 4. The Project website, launched in November 2009, was visited by more than 34,000 visitors from 25 countries during the period of the launch to 26 December 2010. The Project Executing Unit was aware of such fact that some of implemented project activities need to be continued beyond the project either by local people or local government. For such reason, exit strategy was prepared on how to sustain the key activities beyond the project as follows: 1. Improving management of East Bintan Coastal resources through the following approaches: ¾ Develop and establish institution specifically for management of the coastal area of Bintan District; ¾ Strengthen institutions at the village level that are responsible for managing the established seagrass sanctuary; ¾ Prepare and implement programm on dugong conservation including public awareness campaigns; ¾ Use EBCRMP as a reference for refining the Bintan District Decree No. 14/year 2007 concerning Bintan District Spatial Plan; ¾ Prepare detailed spatial plan for sub‐district area; and, ¾ Establish Coastal Safety Zone (Zona Sempadan Pantai). 2. Public Awareness Strategy: iv
¾ Continue public awareness campaign through radio broadcast on the protection of coastal resources and environment, particularly targeting young generation; ¾ Establish Village Information Center as formal village library under Youth, Sport and Education Office in order to sustain its operation and maintenance/development; ¾ Implement Sustainable Tourism Plan and Spatial Plan Document; ¾ Designate Berakit and Pengudang villages as Tourism Villages based on the Plan; ¾ Use the Strategy and Action Plan as input/reference to implement Program on Development of Sustainable Tourism in the areas; and, ¾ Recommend the Document of Monitoring Mechanism of Sustainable Tourism as monitoring and evaluation tools for the implementation of the Sustainable Tourism Plan. 3. Improvement and Diversification of Alternative Income Generation Schemes: ¾ Promote Environmentally Sustainable Economic Activities; ¾ Continue activities of AIGs initiated by the project; ¾ Facilitate partnership between local community and private sectors (hotel and resort owner) for marketing of local community product and support of relevant agencies to improve the product quality to become ‘salable’ product; ¾ Monitor, evaluate, and increase a number of backyard dragon fruit farming in the targeted villages; and, ¾ Improve the efforts to tailoring skills of the trained people through activities supported by TRISMADES and provide additional fund to support and increase their capital resources. v

The GEF Implementing Agency of the project is UNEP. The objective of the project is to demonstrate a set of stress reduction measures effective at a regionally significant sea grass habitat in Bintan, aiming to achieve three major outcomes: (i) improved management of the area through the establishment of appropriate institutional arrangements to ensure a wide range of relevant stakeholder participating in decision making; (ii) awareness and support for the importance of seagrass habitats and associated ecosystems increased and capacity for seagrass habitats management improved; and (iii) environmental sustainability of local economic activities increased through the creation of an environment for sustainable economic activities such as sustainable tourism and other types of alternative income generation options. According to the socio‐economic and awareness surveys conducted by the project in 2008 and 2009, the level of awareness on the importance of seagrass habitats and associated ecosystems has increased among decision makers and local communities. During the UNEP/GEF project period, approximately 2,600 ha of seagrass areas were declared as seagrass conservation zone. In addition, five seagrass sanctuaries were established in 4 villages along the East Bintan coasts. Training to improve skills for sewing, dragon fruit farming and weaving for pandanus handicraft were carried out through the project activities, contributing to promote alternative income generations for the local communities. 1 Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan, Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia 2. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS 2.1 INTRODUCTION: A. UNDERSTANDING SEAGRASS. Seagrasses are halophytic spermatophyte that live submerged under water of marine environment, posses vascular, leave, rhizome and root systems, and propagate generatively by seeds and vegetative by shoot. The rhizome represents nodded stem that grows horizontally underneath the substrate’s surface. Seagrass also contributes to the production of organic substance that is of vital importance for the life of coastal biota, but also for those living in the neighboring offshore waters. Thus, the key function of seagrass is to provide organic material not only for their associated animal communities but also for those which live outside their growth habitat. In addition, seagrass physically function as substrate stabilizer in coastal water by fixing loose sediments, and as an agent for reducing wind and wave actions. Seagrass meadow is an extensive spread of seagrass vegetation covering a large area of shallow coastal waters; it may consist of a single species (monospecific) or more than one species (mixed vegetation), densely or sparsely distributed. As marine plant, seagrass requires normal water salinity and sufficient of sunlight for its photosynthesis process. Therefore, an extreme change of these limiting factors will impact to the growth of seagrass. There are approximately 60 seagrass species described world wide and 18 species are found in the coastal waters of the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand. Seagrass beds on islands in the South China Sea are the spawning grounds for fish and invertebrates that end up in the markets of neighboring countries (Fortes, 1995). Seagrass are widely distributed in Indonesian waters from Sabang in the western most to Merauke in the easternmost, from Sangir Talaud in northernmost and Rote Island in the southern most. They are also distributed in the coastal area bordering Indian Ocean, South China Sea, and Pacific Ocean as well as in the Indonesian internal waters. Currently, there are 12 seagrass species found in the Indonesian waters based on researches from only 24 sites (Kuriandewa et al. 2003). B. THE IMPORTANT OF SEAGRASS Seagrass ecosystem is one of the important coastal ecosystems in the tropics beside coral reefs and mangroves. Compared to the neighboring ecosystems, the seagrass ecosystem is lesser known to the public. Physically, seagrass meadow protects sediment from wave action and strong water current. Seagrass ecosystem provides nutrition for coastal waters and contributes high diversity of marine species. Seagrass beds serve nurseries and spawning ground for many commercially important species of fish, crustaceans, such as juveniles of groupers (Epinephelus sp.), and tiger prawns (Penaeus sp.) and invertebrates. These species are abundant in seagrass beds, settle into seagrass from the larval stage and remain until they are mature. Seagrass beds also provide food for many commercial herbivorous fishes such as rabbit fish and wrasse (Fortes, 1995). It also provides food resources, nutrient dynamics, for dugongs and green turtles. In fact, dugongs, which are listed as vulnerable to extinction on the IUCN Red‐list, feed almost exclusively on seagrass. Despite their important role, seagrasses are facing increasing threat due to the results of human activities, such as sand mining, land filling, bottom trawling , pollution, over‐fishing, destructive fishing, oil products, industrial wastes and hot water discharges and coastal construction. Degradation of seagrass beds occurs underneath the sea surface, making it not visible to human eye, and escaping the attention of those concerned. Seagrass habitats are declining in extent worldwide, and in the Asia‐Pacific region decline in seagrass is well documented for 10 sites, comprising 25% of the total number of areas where declines have been reported (Short and Wyllie‐Echeverria, 1996). Therefore, it is of utmost important to develop an appropriate environmental management to safeguard the seagrasses and their habitat. 2 Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan, Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia Understanding of and concern about seagrass ecosystems among the coastal communities are relatively less than those of the mangroves and coral reefs. The lack of understanding and concern of the seagrass ecosystem is due to the fact that, until recently, the coastal communities had no sufficient knowledge about function and utility of the seagrasses. The lack of awareness has left the seagrass resources unattended and consequently insufficient basic data and information relating to seagrass resources as the basis for policy and management plan formulation and implementation. The root problems in the management of seagrass bed in Indonesia are as follows: -
Lack of awareness and knowledge about the importance of seagrasses; -
People who live in the coastal area (such as traditional fishermen) commonly live in poverty and inevitably concern more about their economic condition, sometime become the cause of degradation of seagrass ecosystem; -
Integrated management of seagrass does not exist; and, -
Insufficient legal instrument for seagrass protection. Evidently, the threats on seagrass tend to rapidly increasing. Until the end of 2000s, all published literatures concerning coastal zones in Indonesia mainly discussed mangrove and coral reef ecosystems, whereas study and analysis on seagrass ecosystems were limited. It is therefore important to introduce an intervention through planning and implementation of integrated management of the important seagrass ecosystems. C. BACKGROUND The UNEP/GEF project entitled “Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitats in Trikora Beach, East Bintan, Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia (the UNEP/GEF East Bintan Project)” was proposed as one of the demonstration projects developed under the framework of the UNEP/GEF project entitled “Reversing Environmental Degradation Trends in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand (hereafter the SCS Project).” The SCS Project was launched in 2001 with its overall goals as “to create an environment at the regional level, in which collaboration and partnership in addressing environmental problems of the South China Sea, between all stakeholders, and at all levels is fostered and encouraged; and to enhance the capacity of the participating governments to integrate environmental consideration into national development planning.” The SCS Project covers the management of mangrove ecosystem, coral reefs, seagrass beds, wetlands, fisheries and land‐based pollution. The UNEP/GEF East Bintan Project aims to demonstrate a proper way to protect, manage, and utilize seagrass resources in a rational, integrated and sustainable manner through maintaining the balance between utilization and conservation, based on available scientific data and information. The objective of the project is to demonstrate a set of stress reduction measures effective at a regionally significant sea grass habitat in Bintan. As a result, the project seeks to achieving three major outcomes: (i) Improved management of the area through the establishment of appropriate institutional arrangements to ensure a wide range of relevant stakeholder participating in decision making; (ii) Awareness and support for the importance of seagrass habitats and associated ecosystems increased and capacity for seagrass habitats management improved; and (iii) Environmental sustainability of local economic activities increased: through the creation of an environment for sustainable economic activities such as sustainable tourism and other types of alternative income generation options. The Trikora Beach seagrass bed in East Bintan, Indonesia ranked as the fourth most important seagrass site overall, and second in terms of its biological and environmental significance. The site was chosen from 26 potential seagrass demonstration sites, ranked on the basis of criteria reflecting combined (and weighted) scores for environmental and socio‐economic indicators, by 3 Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan, Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia the Regional Scientific and Technical Committee. During the 3rd intergovernmental Steering Committee Meeting of the SCS Project convened in Manila, February 2004, the seagrass beds in East Bintan was endorsed as one of the priority seagrass sites of the regional and global importance that require immediate intervention. D. TRISMADES TRISMADES stands for “Trikora Seagrass Management Demonstration Site,” representing the working group under supervision of the Research Center for Oceanography, Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) to implement the UNEP/GEF East Bintan Project. The project was designed to involve all stakeholders, making it possible for integrated management of the seagrass ecosystems. As the integrated approach was a relatively new concept for managing the seagrass beds, the project undertook an initial step to scope and implement activities in areas designated as the demonstration site: the Trikora Beach situated on the eastern coast of Bintan Island, Riau Archipelago. The selection of the site and specific beach areas was based on several environmental and socio‐economic criteria reflecting the regional and global priority as guided through the South China Sea (SCS) network of experts. TRISMADES is the first project in Indonesia dealing specifically with seagrass management. The project is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), with co‐financing from the Government of Indonesia, and administered through the United Nation Environment Program. The project Executing Agency is the Research Center for Oceanography, LIPI (Indonesian Institute of Sciences); and the Project Implementing Unit is BAPPEDA (Regional Development Planning Agency) of Bintan District. The specific areas of the Project are the three coastal villages: Teluk Bakau, Malang Rapat, and Berakit. The local community of the villages have been involved in the project implementation and become important stakeholders, contributing greatly to the success of the project. E. SITE DESCRIPTION Bintan Island is the largest (1,591 km2) among 3, 200 islands of the Kepulauan Riau Province of Indonesia. It is located about 810 km northwest of Jakarta and about 45 km southeast of Singapore and lies in the Malacca Straits (See Annex 1). It takes about 1 hour from Jakarta to reach Bintan by plane; about 45 minutes by high‐speed catamaran from Singapore. The island has beautiful beaches along its’ northern coastline, where resorts are rapidly developed. Mangrove forest distribution is along northern to eastern coastlines, whereas coral reefs distributes along southern to eastern coastlines. Seagrass habitats are mainly found in the eastern coastal area associated with other coral reefs and mangrove habitats. The proposed project site, the East Coast of Bintan, has low to medium population density. The majority of local people are engaged in agriculture and fisheries; whereas some are employees in marine resorts, which is a rapidly expanding industry in the area. Demographic: The land area of East Bintan Island is around 1591.1 km2. The Census in year 2000 showed that 45,495 males and 48, 200 females populated East Bintan. There were 11,960 of household in the area with average of 3 to 4 people per household. Population density was 59 people /km2 Present use: The brief demography and current use patterns of the area could be described as follows: ¾ Low population density; mostly farmers and artisanal fishermen; some others are employees of marine resort. 4 Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan, Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia ¾ The area is allocated for marine tourism, as well as general marine activities such as traditional harbor, mariculture, etc. ¾ The adjacent marine area is allocated for sand mining concession.

SEAGRASS OF EAST BINTAN Seagrass of the East Coast of Bintan is still rich in biodiversity but also under development pressure. There are 10 species of seagrass found in the area; i.e. Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Cymodocea rotundata, Cymodocea serrulata, Thalassodendron ciliatum, Halodule pinifolia, Halodule uninervis, Syringodium isoetifolium, Halophila ovalis, H. spinulosa, while 12 species are found in Indonesia and 18 species are found in the South China Sea region respectively. They form monospecific and mixed vegetation. The most significant seagrass species in the area is Halophila spinulosa since it is rarely found in Indonesia. The latest record of this species is reported by Kiswara W. (1994) in Gerupuk Bay (Lombok Island). In this area, H. spinulosa was found in 5 to 7 m depth, however in Berakit it appears in 1 to 2 m depth only. Thalassodendron ciliatum, Enhalus acoroides and Thalassia hemprichii have been recorded as the most common species spread in the area. Like other seagrass beds, they provide marine animals with their breeding, nursery and feeding grounds for economically important fish. The diversity of associated fauna such as mollusks and fish are relatively high. The existence of endangered species according to the Red List of IUCN were also reported, i.e. dugong (Dugong dugon), sea horse (Hippocampus sp.), green turtle (Chelonia midas), hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) (Sinaga, 2003 pers. comm.). There are also endangered species with national criteria such as giant clam (Tridacna gigas, T. squamosa , T. crocea) and top shell (Trochus niloticus) (Kuriandewa et al., 2003). Live coral coverage in the reef edge of this area is fairly intense (40 – 70 %), dominated by massive coral genera such as Porites, Goniastrea, Favia and Favites. Around 33 – 69 species of reef fishes have been recorded with Pomacentrus amboinensis, Amblyglyphidodon curacao, Pomacentrus mollucensis, Lutjanus carponotatus and Caesio cuning as dominant species. Mangroves mostly grow in the northern part of Trikora Beach especially around Tanjung Berakit area. The Rhizopora apiculata seems to be the most dominant mangrove species in the area. The site is a ground where fish species of commercial, regional and transboundary significance are associated. There are 31 fish species reported in the site, and spotted coral grouper, Plectropomus maculatus, is in the list of fish species of transboundary significance. Other species of transboundary significance includes Leopard coralgrouper, Plectropomus leopardus. It is reported by local experts that the juveniles of coral grouper, Plectropomus spp. are often found at the coral reefs near by the Trikora Beach. The shrimp species of transboundary importance associated with this site include: Banana prawn, Penaeus merguiensis, Giant tiger prawn, Penaeus monodon, Jinga shrimp, Metapenaeus addinis, and Greasyback shrimp, Metapenaeus ensis. Although, the biodiversity of the site is still rich and relatively intact, however, it will degrade if appropriate management is not established alongside the already rapid development of tourism on the Island. Degradation of seagrass beds in the area, due to anthropogenic activities, has already been observed, and potential risks for decrease in fish and other marine resources of local and regional significance are increasing. G. THREATS Potential major threats to seagrass beds on the East Coast of Bintan are mainly of anthropogenic origins. Anthropogenic causes of these threats include uncontrolled soil/sand mining on land and seabed, as well as increasing and inappropriately treated waste water 6
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia discharge from both domestic and emerging tourism sources. The direct and indirect results of physical changes of seabed, such as erosion, sedimentation and siltation, could reduce the area and density of cover in the seagrass beds. The turbidity could adversely affect the photosynthetic capacity and growth of seagrass and degradation of coastal water quality, such as organic pollution and eutrophication will cause algal blooms. Further direct threats to the seagrass habitats include destructive fishing methods such as trawling and over‐fishing. National and local governments, as well as local communities and other stakeholders, recognise the great potential for local development based on sustainable tourism at the site; and they are willing to protect and manage the existing seagrass and associated habitats for the purposes of enabling eco‐tourism and habitat conservation. H. RATIONALE Criteria of justification for selection of the East Coast of Bintan and surroundings water as a demonstration site for seagrass management include: ¾ Located close to the Indonesian border with other country i.e. Singapore and Malaysia or situated in the international waters (South China Sea) Æ Transboundary Significant, so it is pertinent towards GEF Strategic Priorities and Targets; ¾ Threatened by oil spill, solid and water waste from the international ship traffics; ¾ Existence of transboundary significant of animal’s migration route (i.e. dugong and sea turtle); ¾ High biodiversity of economically important fish and high diversity of seagrass (10 of 12 seagrass species in Indonesia); ¾ Sand/soil mining activities, introduction of embrocated waste water from resort operation, and domestic solid waste coming from tourism and resort activities become potential major threats on East Coast of Bintan Island seagrass beds; ¾ Exploitation of this area for tourism need to be managed in judicious manner; and, ¾ It is considered the first seagrass demosite and seagrass conservation area in Indonesia. I. OBJECTIVES Currently, there is a lack of public awareness and capacity, proper laws and regulations as well as their enforcement to effectively intervene such degradation in the coastal marine environment. At the same time, there is greater concern for the degrading environment and demands for realization of roles and functions of the seagrass ecosystem. Having identified the problems and concerns as mentioned above, the project introduced a framework for seagrass ecosystem management focusing on: ¾ Cross‐sectoral management framework to enable and ensure the participation of all relevant stakeholders; ¾ Public awareness raising and capacity building to develop shared concern and understanding of the local seagrass habitat; 7
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia ¾ Community participation in seagrass habitat management to mobilize community resources as well as to enhance community ownership of the activities; ¾ Designing environmentally sustainable economic activities for the demonstration site including sustainable tourism activities and alternative income generation activities; ¾ Integrated research for improved seagrass habitat management to understand ecological and socio‐economic background as well as to review judicial barriers for improved management; ¾ Information dissemination and exchange at national and regional levels to share lessons learnt from the demonstration project. J. BENEFITS The benefits expected to achieve from this project are as follows: ¾ Ecosystem benefits protection of seagrass and associated ecosystems; ¾ Benefits for fishes and other marine animals of transboundary significance: conservation of spawning and nursery ground function for fishes and other marine animals of transboundary importance; ¾ Local benefits: improved livelihood of the local population; K. OUTCOMES The project aims to achieve three major outcomes, which will create an environment, among all stakeholders, for enabling and maintaining sustainable management of the area, as follows: ¾ Management of the area is improved: through the establishment of appropriate institutional arrangements to ensure a wide range of relevant stakeholder participate in decision making, in particular that of the local communities and the private sector; adoption of integrated area management plan, introduction/revision and enforcement of relevant regulations; further involvement of local communities in on‐the‐ground management activities; ¾ Awareness and support for the importance of seagrass habitats and associated ecosystems are increased; and capacity for seagrass habitats management is improved: through awareness raising and capacity building among all stakeholders, increase the ecological and socio‐economic understanding of the value and importance of seagrass and associated habitats and the use of such knowledge for area management and planning in particular among local government officials and community members who are involved in the area management; and ¾ Environmental sustainability of local economic activities is increased: through the creation of an environment for sustainable economic activities such as sustainable tourism and other types of alternative income generation options. The outcome should remain beyond the project life and the lessons learnt should be shared and replicated not only among local or national stakeholders, as well as among stakeholders from relevant seagrass conservation sites in the South China Sea and Gulf of Thailand region. 8

B. IMPLEMENTATION PHASE This implementation phase was divided into 3 main components. Each component comprised the details of activities and targets to be achieved. A summary of the implementation reports is shown in Annex 2 of this Final Report. Component 1. Improving the management of seagrass and associated habitats Activity 1.1: Establishment of East Bintan Collaborative Management Board (EBCoMBo) for cross‐sectoral and participatory management. The EBCoMBo (East Bintan Collaborative Management Board) is a management tool of the TRISMADES (Trikora Seagrass Management Demonstration Site). The EBCoMBo was established by the Head of Bintan District subject to the Decree N.229/V/2008, dated August 2008. The Head of BAPPEDA acts as the chairman of EBCoMBo. The Board consists of 29 members representing government agencies, universities, NGOs, head of sub‐district, and private sectors. The EBCoMBo, initially planned to hold meeting every three months, meets every 6 months. ¾ The 1st EBCoMBo meeting was convened on 29th July 2008 and attended by 22 out of 29 members. The meeting agenda covered the following topics: o Information on TRISMADES Project: goals, objectives and plan of activities; o Information on the role and function of EBCoMBo related project organization structure; o Adoption of TOR and guidelines of EBCoMBo; o Information and dissemination of the result of ecological and socio economic research conducted by RCO‐LIPI and TRISMADES; and, o Sixth Month Achievements of TRISMADES. Discussions included the main function and mission of TRISMADES, the preliminary results of ecological and social studies in East Bintan, and the progress of the project in the last six months. The meeting was able to produce several conclusions and recommendations. It was agreed that the new Law No. 27/2007, which was recently issued by the Government of Indonesia on the Management of Coastal Waters and Small Islands, had not been fully understood by many of the participants, and therefore should be promoted widely amongst the communities, as the new law would become the foundation of management measures in the coastal areas. Recommendations were also given to the tour operators to involve more local people and to help in creating market for the commodities they produce. TRISMADES was suggested to conduct studies on sustainable tourism as applicable in the area. It was also recommended that law enforcement should be enhanced against the destruction of seagrasses, mangroves and coral reefs. 14
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia ¾ The second EBCoMBo meeting was conducted on 23rd December 2008 and attended by 22 participants. The meeting discussed Law No. 27/2007 concerning Coastal Area and Small Island Management and Guideline on Development of Coastal Area Zoning Plan. ¾ The third EBCoMBo meeting was conducted on 13rd August 2009 and attended by 22 participants. Reports on the current achievement of Trismades Project were presented by Mr. Supriyono (Demosite Manager). Dr. Sam Wouthyuzen presented the progress of seagrass ecological survey and Dr. Malikusworo Hutomo presented a report on the results of second Awareness Level Survey. ¾ The fourth EBCoMBo meeting was convened on 19th October 2009 and attended by 30 participants include the participants for Coastal Management Training. The meeting discussed the development of East Bintan Coastal Resources Management Plan, particularly coastal zoning plan, with special emphasis on the implementation the new Act No. 27/2007 concerning the Management of Coastal Zone and Small Island. Process and mechanism of coastal zoning plan as might be applicable to the east coast of Bintan Island was among key topics discussed. This meeting continued by training on Integrated Coastal Resources Management Training. ¾ The fifth EBCoMBo meeting was conducted on 27th January 2010 and attended by 37 participants including Dr. Ampai Harakunarak (Task Manager of UNEP‐GEF). The meeting adopted two important documents prepared by the project: (i) East Bintan Coastal Area Zoning Plan, and (ii) Development of Sustainable Tourism Plan in the eastern coastal area of Bintan Island. Activity 1.2: Preparation and adoption of East Bintan Coastal Resource Management Plan (EBCRMP) and other specific plans; and update/enforcement of relevant regulations The East Bintan Coastal Resource Management Plan (EBCRMP) was prepared in response to the Law of Republic of Indonesia No.27/year 2007 concerning management of coastal and Small Island. The law was stated that central, provincial and district governments are mandated to prepare a Coastal Area and Small Island Management Plan. The information and data gathering were prepared as baseline data for improving the plan. The first draft was completed in March 2008, based on secondary data. The document consists of ecological, geological, socio‐economic, and demographic information of the project area. Another document included in the information and data gathering process was “Long term Monitoring of the Development of Soil Mining and its Impact on Seagrass in the Eastern Coastal Environment of Bintan Island”. The Coastal Area and Small Island Management Plan also included review of the existing national and local regulations. The review was used as a legal basis for preparing East Bintan Coastal Resources Management Plan. The first version of the legal review was completed in March 2008. After the work completed, the derivative regulations of Law No. 27/2007 concerning Coastal Area and Small Island Management was prepared. The last version of legal review was completed in February 2010. 15
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia These legal documents are considered the most important outputs of the project, being a basis for refining the Bintan Spatial Area Plan under the Bintan District Decree No.14/year 2007 by the district government. The processes of EBCRMP preparation are described as follows. ¾ Preparation of Initial draft of EBCRMP, focusing on the production of several types of thematic maps which were used as basis for designing the zoning plan. An initial draft of the zoning plan was completed in June 2009. ¾ As part of the EBCRMP preparation, a workshop on Coastal Zoning Plan of East Bintan was carried out on 23 – 24 July 2009 at the Research Center for Oceanography (RCO‐LIPI), Jakarta. Participants of the workshop included the Field Manager (Demosite Manager) of TRISMADES, who was also representing BAPPEDA Bintan, Field Facilitators of TRISMADES, researchers of RCO‐LIPI, observers of Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, and the Indonesian Association of Oceanographers (ISOI). Recent development of environmental studies on the east coast of Bintan was discussed. Preliminary zoning plan was also initiated based on the spatial studies as derived from satellite observation and field observations, as well as socio‐economic studies. It was suggested that Local Seagrass Protected Areas to be define through scientific based approach and by also accommodating the opinion of local community as derived from the Focus Group Discussion. Spatial zoning plan for other purposes, such as for marine tourism, navigation channel, fish landing was also discussed and information exchanged. ¾ The initial draft of EBCRMP was presented and discussed in the fourth EBCoMBo meeting on 13rd August 2009. In parallel with this activity, the BAPPEDA BINTANprepared a Strategic Coastal Management Plan for Bintan District which was completed in the end of 2009. An initial draft of the East Bintan Coastal Area Zoning Plan was updated using inputs from the results of ecological and socio‐economic researches undertaken as part of the project activities. The revised and updated document was entitled “Final Draft of East Bintan Coastal Area Zoning Plan.” The draft was presented to and discussed with local communities of the three targeted villages in two public hearing events aiming to inquire additional inputs and critics. The inputs and critics were used to update the final draft. The updated final draft then presented and adopted in the fifth EBCoMBo meeting on 27th January 2010. The Plan was formally submitted by the Director of Research Center for Oceanography to the Head Bintan District in 27th January 2010. ¾ Based on these efforts, the Head of Bintan District issued a Decree No.267/2010 designating the seagrass of east coast of Bintan Island as a Local Marine Conservation Area with the village seagrass sanctuaries as core zones. Such an achievement also contributed to the success of the Bintan District Government by wining the Indonesian Coastal Award delivered during the Indonesia’s Coastal Zone Conference in Ambon, Mollucas in August 2010. Activity 1.3: Establishment of community‐based seagrass management program The establishment of community‐based seagrass management program is the key of success of this project. The success is based on the positive response to the project and 16
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia support from the local people, as well as the increased level of people’s awareness of the environment. To raise awareness of people, the Field Facilitators (FFs) were appointed with a mandate to bridge communication and information between the Project and the communities. The FFs were recruited from young members of the villages who have the potential for communicating effectively with other communities’ members on the project. These young facilitators are college graduates including Mr. Kusnadi from Malang Rapat, Mr. M. Zahid from Desa Teluk Bakau and Mr. Zukriyanto from Desa Berakit. Their strong commitment toward successful implementation of the project activities was expressed through a newsletter called “Trismades News,” describing in a simple language their activities in the demonstration sites and other key activities at the local level. Due to resource constraints, however, distribution of the newsletters has still been limited to the villages in East Bintan. Activity 1.4: Implementation of ecological and socio‐economic research and legal review for increasing baseline information for improved area management; and establishment of effective coastal environment monitoring mechanism In order to conduct research and review, as well as to develop a monitoring tool under activity 1.4, survey and mapping on seagrass and associated biota in the TRISMADES site were conducted from 25 April – 1 May 2008. The survey was Appling the quadrate method to assess the spatial distributions of seagrass diversity, abundance, coverage and density as well as its associated organism. Associated organisms, mainly fishes, were collected using small otter trawls. Environmental parameters, e.g., depth, salinity, temperature oxygen and sediment were also measured. The survey covering seagrass beds in front of Pengudang and Berakit villages which composed of 35 quadrate sampling sites. The proposed position of sampling sites was plotted in the base map developed prior to the survey using remotely sensed data of ASTER 2005 image. The Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with local communities of three villages (Teluk Bakau, Malang Rapat and Berakit) were conducted to develop a community based seagrass sanctuary in each village. The main results included agreements to establish community seagrass sanctuaries in the three targeted villages. They are legally protected by village regulations/decrees. The CSMP document was prepared which included boundary of sanctuaries and community plan of activities. It should be emphasized that the neighboring village (Pengudang Village) has proposed 2 additional seagrass sanctuaries as replication of the existing sanctuaries. A Focus Group Discussion was conducted in this village to select the suitable locations of the proposed two seagrass sanctuaries on 23rd March 2010; and participatory mapping was completed on 28th April 2010. To facilitate effective replication, additional ecological survey to identify locations of new seagrass sanctuaries was conducted by the project team in the Pengudang village on 1st‐3rd June 2010. Socio‐economic surveys were conducted in the middle of 2008 and at the end of 2009 concurrently with the ecological surveys to collect data on socio‐economic profiles of four villages, i.e., Teluk Bakau, Malang Rapat, Berakit and Pengudang. The surveys were carried out by distributing questionnaires to respondents and in‐depth interview with selected resource persons. The parameters for assessment included number of households and peoples, sex ratio, education, livelihoods, income, public infrastructure, number of tourism 17
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia operators (hotel, resort, restaurants, home stay, etc), number of tourist/year (domestic and foreign), and the amount of money spent by tourists, etc. The threats to marine environment were also observed both visually and based on communities’ observations. Reports of surveys were concluded at the beginning of 2010. Recommendations for improved area management were prepared and submitted to EBCoMBo. Survey on impacts of sand mining on coastal structure was conducted on 23‐28 February 2010. The assessment was based on the temporal development sand mining activities using remote sensing data and GIS as well as assessment of temporal (2006, 2008, 2009) variation of seagrass bed extents. The report was completed by end of July 2010. A legal review report has been updated to include new regulations such as the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 32/2009 concerning management and protection of living environment and Decree of Head of Bintan No. 267/VI/2010 designating East Bintan seagrass beds as conservation areas and dugong as endangered marine species. Along with the community‐based monitoring program, focusing on the establishment of seagrass and associated habitats monitoring mechanism, three surveys were conducted in March, June and September 2010. These surveys were carried out in three targeted villages and data were compared both spatially and temporally. The Seagrass‐Watch Method, which was introduced by Mackenzie and Coles (2006‐2010) and applied by more than 69 countries, was applied in this seagrass monitoring exercise. It was found that, temporally or spatially, there were insignificant change of seagrass percentage cover, species diversity and seagrass dominancy from March to September 2010. The monitoring process was planned 4 times during the project period representing 4 seasons in a year. Substantive quantity of data was collected in the measurement of Phosphate and Nitrate concentration in water column and pore water in seagrass bed. It was recorded that the level of these two important nutrients were higher in Teluk Bakau water compared to those of Malang Rapat and Berakit. This result suggests that Teluk Bakau waters are probably threatened by eutrophication resulted from domestic waste thet released restaurants, resorts or from local population. Despite the 2 sanctuaries established, seagrass monitoring could not be conducted in Pengudang Village since no sufficient fund was available for field surveys. Component 2. Awareness raising and capacity building; Activity 2.1: Establishment and maintenance of an information and training center for costal resource management and sustainable tourism The CITC (community information and Training Center) is designed to be a center where the local communities find interesting and useful information concerning marine environmental conservation and resources management. Other information, including that of local community products (i.e., handicrafts and processed seafood), is also available. The center is open for the public and currently temporally managed by the field facilitator of each village. The CITC also serve as a venue for community training facility, with an exception of the CITC in Teluk Bakau which is located inside the Government Elementary School and therefore the training activities are conducted in village community hall. The design of CITC was completed and two need assessments surveys were carried out. The result reports were presented at the Third EBCoMBo meeting. The three (3) CITCs 18
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia were established in villages of Berakit, Malang Rapat and Teluk Bakau in August.2009. The CITCs are treated as a village library and proposed to be managed by the Education Youth and Sport Office after project completion. Activity 2.2: Preparation and dissemination of awareness raising materials; and implementation of awareness raising campaigns Preparation & dissemination of awareness raising materials were completed in the October 2008, including posters, flyers newsletters, billboard, T‐shirt, caps, booklets, pins, jackets, stickers, fans, mugs, standing banners, calendars and other merchandise. Implementation of the awareness raising campaign has been regularly conducted since the launch of TRISMADES project. Activities include cleanup beach operation, radio broadcast, local newspapers dissemination, website updates, as well as through relevant exhibitions, workshops, seminars, and conferences. Official ceremony for the launching of TRISMADES (Trikora Seagrass Management Demonstration Site) was organized at Trikora Beach on 23 August 2008. As described by the Bupati (Head of the District) of Bintan, the positive impacts of this project would not only contribute to improving the health of seagrass ecosystems and the environment, but also to promote local economy such as fisheries and tourism resulting from the project activities. Representatives of Ministry of Environment who presented as the Focal Point of Indonesia for UNEP/GEF project also stressed the importance of the Project as being not only from the national point of view but also in terms of relationships and coordination with other countries bordering the South China as well as to the world at large. In addition, the representative of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences brought forward the need for cooperation and strong commitment of the stakeholders for the project success. Awareness level survey was conducted from 15th ‐19th February 2008, aiming to measure the level of awareness and knowledge of the communities on coastal ecosystems/habitat, particularly on seagrass ecosystems, and the seagrass demosite project (TRISMADES). The target groups of the survey included: ¾ Local communities of the three villages in the demo sites namely: Berakit, Malang Rapat and Teluk Bakau ¾ Staffs of Government Officials and tourism operators (hotel, resorts and restaurants) The survey method was the use of questionnaires which were filled by the target groups and by individual interview. The number of questionnaires distributed ranged between 25 ‐
30 and the number of questionnaires filled by respondents in each village was between 20 and 25. News on TRISMADES (Trikora Seagrass Management Demonstration Site) activities was broadcasted from RRI (Radio Republik Indonesia) Station in Tanjung Pinang on 22 August 2008 through a special program called “Dialog Interaktif” (Interactive Dialogue). The radio talk was conducted one day prior to the official launching of TRISMADES by Bupati (Head of District) of Bintan at Trikora Beach on 23 August 2008. Three scientists from TRISMADES; and from BAPPEDA (Regional Development Planning Agency) of Bintan District were invited as resource persons. The panel was hosted by a moderator from RRI (Radio of Republic of 19
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia Indonesia). The 40‐minutes dialogue included a general introduction of the TRISMADES program with special reference to the beach cleanup activities. The dialogue was followed by an interactive discussion with the audiences who actively exchanged ideas, comments and suggestions. It was concluded that cleaning up would improve the coastal environment and subsequently enhance or promote tourism, as well as improve the quality of life of the local communities. Significant activities, for public awareness campaign, were also conducted as follows: ¾ Writing competition for high‐school students residing in the Kabupaten Bintan and the city of Tanjung Pinang was piloting in early April. The theme for the contest was “Save the seagrasses and their environment, heritage to our future generation.” The event was well‐received by the students and the communities. Awards (including money, trophy and certificate) were presented to the five winners on the beach next to extensive seagrass beds. ¾ Celebration of the World Environment Day was conducted at Kabupaten (District) of Bintan, Riau Archipelago on 5 June 2010. The occasion took place at the shore of Desa (Village) Malang Rapat, and also as part of contribution to the International Year of Biodiversity 2010 as declared by the United Nation. The celebration was jointly organized by Pemda (Local Government) of Bintan District and the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI). The ceremony was attended by Bupati (Head of the District), Director of the Research Center for Oceanography of LIPI, local government officials, various community groups, and school children. There were two major activities carried out on the day, namely the announcement of the result of the writing competition and the planting of mangrove seedlings. A group of young students presented a local traditional dance at the beginning of the ceremony. It was stated by Head of Bintan District that the local government has strong commitment for the management of coastal environment in the region. It was also announced that Head of District decree on Seagrass Sanctuaries for the eastern coast of Bintan has already signed. He also mentioned that the local government is preparing to identify the dugong (Dugong dugon) as a flagship animal or icon of the region. The second activity on that day was the planting of mangrove seedlings which carried out by a large number of school children and community groups. As many as five thousand mangrove seedlings were planted using the bundle system in plots. This system was practiced instead of the singular planting, following the method developed at the Pramuka Island (Jakarta), which has proven stronger and higher survival rate of the seedlings against the wave action, especially during the rough sea of the north monsoon. ¾ A seafood competition was carried out at Desa (Village) Pengudang, Bintan Island (Riau Archipelago) on 7 November 2010, organized by the local communities. The objectives of the competition included: 1) to promote the Desa Pengudang for tourism; b) to promote the marine products of Desa Pengudang through seafood competition using local materials; c) to announce the establishment of a Seagrass Sanctuary in the Desa Pengudang, and d) to pledge community support to stop hunting or killing dugongs. 20
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia The event was opened by the Bupati (Head of District) of Bintan, who announced that the Local Government had established a regulation that designated Seagrass Sanctuaries, while seeking community support for the implementation. He further informed the audiences that dugongs (Dugong dugon) had been proposed as the icon of the Local Government of Bintan and urged the local parliament members attending the event to provide a strong support to the proposal. He also mentioned that the Local Government of Bintan would establish a Dugong Monument at the gate to the new premises of the Local Government at Bintan Buyu Bandar Seri Bentan, alongside the monument of a Perahu Lancang Kuning, a legendary local boat famous in the local communities. In addition, the Chairperson of the Organizing Committee, Pak Syukur (former Head of Village), invited the local communities to safeguard coastal environment, especially the seagrass meadows and dugongs in the area. ¾ ICZM (Integrated Coastal Zone Management) training at Sebelas Maret University, Surakarta. Three experts from TRISMADES (Dr. Malikusworo Hutomo, Dr. Anugerah Nontji and Dr. Sam Wouthuyzen) were invited to give a series of lectures and training courses on ICZM at the Sebelas Maret University (UNS), Surakarta, on 26—28 October 2010. The event was organized in cooperation between the University of Indonesia and the Sebelas Maret University. The participants comprised young lecturers from various faculties of the Sebelas Maret University. Key topics discussed during the training covered, among others, Principles of Integrated Coastal Zone Management, Major Coastal Ecosystems in Indonesia, Legal Aspects of Coastal Management, Application of Remote Sensing and GIS, Regional Spatial Zoning, and lessons learned from several coastal projects in Indonesia, such as COREMAP (Coral Reef Rehabilitation and Management Program) and TRISMADES (Trikora Seagrass Management Demonstration Site). ¾ Sign boards for Seagrass Sanctuaries were set up at four Desa (villages), namely Desa Pengudang, Berakit, Malang Rapat and Teluk Bakau, on the eastern coast of Bintan Island (Riau Archipelago) on 28 – 29 October 2010. A Seagrass Sanctuary is a certain area of seagrass meadows specially set aside as a “no take zone,” where no exploitation or extractive activities are allowed. The goal is to allow the marine organisms in the area (fishes, molluscs, crustaceans, etc) to grow, breed, lay their eggs, nursing the juveniles, without any disturbances whatsoever. The adult organisms can spill out of the area and can be harvested. This approach is taken to ensure the sustainability of the biological resources in the area. It took a long process of awareness campaign and discussion with the local communities until the concept of “no take zone” can be accepted. Finally, four villages agreed to have their own seagrass sanctuaries, and pledged to keep the sanctuaries intact. The Chiefs of the villages have played an important role in this endeavour, where they issued village regulations with subsequent sanctions. The size of the seagrass sanctuaries varies from 1 ha to 4 ha. The border of each sanctuary is marked with buoys or poles. Signboards were set up at the shore near the sanctuaries, so that the existence and the delineation of 21
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia sanctuaries are easily noticed. The Kepala Desa (Chiefs of the Village) of the four villages, as well as representatives of TRISMADES Project and local communities, took part in the setting up the sign boards. Activity 2.3: Development and implementation of training and capacity building workshops. Training courses and workshops were conducted to improve understanding, knowledge and skills of stakeholders in managing the coastal resources in the project site areas. Training courses conducted include: ¾ Workshop on Awareness Need Assessment was conducted in 20th February 2008 at BAPPEDA’s office Tanjung Pinang. It was attended by 25 people representing major stakeholders which were proposed as members of the East Bintan Collaborative Management Board. ¾ Training of Integrated Coastal Resource Management was conducted in 19 & 20 October 2009 at BAPPEDA’s office, Tanjung Pinang. It was attended by 30 participants from local agencies and EBCoMBo members.

Some strategic actions derived from the Executive Summary of the workshop proceedings include: 1) to develop seagrass database for Indonesia; 2) to develop standard methods for seagrass information collection; 3) to promote and facilitate cooperation between Indonesian and international institutions on the impact of climate change on seagrass ecosystem, the role of seagrass as carbon sink, and the economic valuation of seagrass ecosystem; 4) to identify and implement seagrass demonstration sites; 5) to establish the Indonesian Seagrass Forum; 6) to promote and implement public awareness programs/activities on seagrass; 7) to identify best practices on seagrass ecosystem knowledge management in all marine eco‐regions in the country through integrated surveys; 8) to encourage and facilitate the local governments to include seagrass in their strategic coastal development plan; and, 9) to establish a national committee on seagrass. ¾ Leadership and study tour to Pramuka National Marine Park was convened at Pulau (Island) Pramuka, DKI Jakarta from 10th to 15th April 2010. The leadership training course was joined by 20 participants from the Kabupaten Bintan, comprised representatives of local communities from Desa (Village) Teluk Bakau, Malang Rapat, Berakit, and Pengudang. The training focused on basic knowledge on leadership to the participants and comparative studies on various aspects of nature conservation as well as tourism activities at and around Pulau Pramuka. The training was held at the premise of the National Marine Park of Kepulauan Seribu (Ministry of Forestry) and officially opened by the Director of the Research Center for Oceanography – LIPI, Prof. Suharsono. The participants also had the opportunity to visit sea farming at Karang Congkak managed by the Coastal and Marine Resource Study Centre of IPB (Bogor Agricultural University), raptor conservation at Pulau Kotok managed by JAAN (Jakarta Animal Aid Network), Alamkotok Resort, fish culture at Gosong Pramuka managed by private company (PT Nuansa Ayu Karamba), and sea turtle conservation at the National Marine Park of Kepulauan Seribu at Pulau Pramuka. Activity 2.4: Implementation of national and regional exchange of information and experience on seagrass and associated habitats management. The regional knowledge exchange activity was not implemented under the current East Bintan demonstration project. As planned, the activity was to be jointly implemented and financed under the UNEP/GEF South China Sea Project. Due to long processing time, the regional project was completed and closed shortly after this demo project was started. It is expected that the lessons and experiences learned from the East Bintan demonstration project will contribute to the design and implementation of the South China Sea SAP Implementation Project under GEF‐5. Activity 2.5: Participation in regional meetings and/or IW: LEARN related activities Meetings and Workshops.

Clean Beach program was conducted only once during the project launching by Head of Bintan District. The reasons as follows: Area especially on seagrass ecosystem. Based on this strong commitment, the Bintan District was awarded by the Ministry of Marine Affair and Fisheries a unique ‘Coastal Award’. (1) The coastline of East Bintan is too long and inhabited by low population with sparse distribution. Therefore, the program will not effective in cleaning the beach. (2) The amount of litter stranded in the beach is seasonal and was originated from other places and sometimes comes from the neighbouring countries or from tanker embrocated. (3) The program was compensated by providing training to local communities on composting of household organic solid waste and making biopore. 29

DEGREE OF ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE OBJECTIVES/RESULTS The establishment of EBCoMBo (East Bintan Collaborative Management Board) is an important output of this project. The Board, acting as the Project Steering Committee, and its activities emphasized participatory approach to coastal management involving relevant stakeholders including representatives from the Navy, Police, Resort owners, Tourisms Office, NGOs (Fishermen Leader), Fishery and Marine Affairs Office, Head of Sub‐districts, Head of demosite Villages, BAPPEDA (District Planning and Development Body) and other relevant stakeholders. The Board also served as the forum to discuss environmental and/or socio‐economic issues in East Coast of Bintan through cross‐sectoral and participatory communication and exchange among stakeholders. During the project period of 48 months (or 4 years), the EBCoMBo convened five meetings. The key achievement of the EBCoMBo meetings was the adoption of the EBCRMP, which was the basis for the preparation and issuance of the Head of District Decree No267/VI/2010 establishing the seagrass conservation areas in the eastern coasts of the Bintan Island and designating dugong as the ‘flagship animal’ of the Bintan district. Within the conservation areas, 5 seagrass sanctuaries in 4 villages were declared: 2 in Pengudang; 1 in Berakit; 1 in Malang Rapat; and 1 in Teluk Bakau. The establishment of EBCoMBo under this project contributed to influence the local government on the establishment of a special institution responsible for managing the coastal resources. A Technical Executing Unit, which is mandated as an agency responsible for managing local marine conservation area, was established. The Unit is now placed under the Bintan District Marine Affair and Fisheries Office, ensuring the sustainability of seagrass conservation area management initiated under the current UNEP/GEF project. The seagrass sanctuaries that were legalized through village decree are considered to be the highlighted achievements of the project since these are the first Seagrass sanctuaries established in Indonesia. The monitoring and surveillance are recently under the village motivators control with little incentives for the operational activities. This incentive will be stopped after the project ended. To keep the momentum and to maintain the existence of the seagrass sanctuaries, as part of the exit strategy, the project has recommended the local government and/or the village authority to take over the responsibility of financing the monitoring and surveillance for sustainability of the sanctuaries. The recommendation will be reviewed by the respective local authorities for budget allocation and approval. The key document prepared by the project was the Concept of Sustainable Tourism and its Spatial Plan. The Plan was adopted by EBCoMBo during its fifth meeting held in January 2010. Based on this document the Bintan District Government issued a policy regulation to prohibit physical development in the certain coastal land area of east Bintan located between the coastal road and shoreline. This policy regulation was in line with the Plan concerning the establishment of coastal safety zone (zona sempadan pantai). Moreover, based on this Plan, the District Tourism Office has proposed two project targeted villages, i.e., Berakit and Pengudang, to be designated as tourism villages. The proposal has been submitted by the Bintan Tourism Office to the Ministry of Tourism in Jakarta for the process of law‐making. 35
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia At the national level, results of the seagrass ecological research under this project was used as one of major references for preparing national policy and strategy on seagrass management and for revision of national regulations including: •
The National Conservation Strategy for Dugong in Indonesia: The preparation of this Strategy was conducted during the National Dugong Conservation Workshop convened in Manado, 3rd‐5th December 2008; •
The Strategy and Action Plan on Seagrass Conservation, which was prepared and adopted during the National Workshop on Indonesian Seagrass Management held in Jakarta in November 2009. The workshop was sponsored by the Ministry of Marine Affair and Fisheries, the Research Center for Oceanography‐LIPI/TRISMADES Project and the Ministry of Environment; •
Revision of Government Regulation No.19/year 1999 concerning marine pollution and marine degradation control, specifically on the development of criteria for designation of seagrass condition. The initial workshop was held in Bandung on 11th‐12th November 2010; and, •
The Project website, launched in November 2009, was visited by more than 34,000 visitors from 25 countries during the period of the launch to 26 December 2010. 2.6. ROLE OF WOMEN IN THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT The project aims to establish a Community‐based Seagrass Management Plan (CSMP) and implement activities in three targeted villages. To achieve such objectives, an institution, the Community Group, was also established in each targeted site, with obligations and responsibilities as follows: •
•
•
Dissemination of information to public/community on the functions and uses of seagrass ecosystems, as well as the existing threats to the sustainability of the ecosystems; Improvement of the quality and protection of the ecosystems; and, Active involvement in preparing the CSMP which included seagrass conservation program, development of alternative income generation, and improve community capacity and awareness on coastal resources conservation; The Community Group consists of three sub‐groups: Conservation Group – responsible for ecosystem conservation; Production Group – responsible for development of alternative income generation (ALG) schemes; and, Gender Group – responsible for development of women role and capacity on Coastal resources management. Based on the above setting, the role of women in the management area, especially seagrass management in the east Bintan, was apparently significant. Moreover, women had been the most influential participants in the process of ALG development and implementation. 36
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia 2.7 THE PROJECT EXIT STRATEGY Experiences gained from most of coastal management projects in Indonesia showed that the activities implemented during the project life was not sustained after the project completed. The PEU of the TRISMADES Project was aware of such fact and considered preparing an exit strategy on how to sustain the key project activities beyond the project period. To realize the exit strategy, the Director of Research Center for Oceanography, facilitated by the project teams, called a meeting with the Head of Bintan District in Tanjung Pinang on 6 October 2010. Main issues discussed in the meeting including how the local government could continue implementing and funding the seagrass conservation and management activities after the GEF funding to the current project was terminated. The Director of RCO also provided a summary of recommendations for the project exit strategy, which included the following strategies: 1. Improving management of East Bintan Coastal resources through the following approaches: ¾ develop and establish institution specifically for management of the coastal area of Bintan District; ¾ Strengthen institutions at the village level that are responsible for managing the established seagrass sanctuary; ¾ Prepare and implement programm on dugong conservation including public awareness campaigns; ¾ Use EBCRMP as a reference for refining the Bintan District Decree No. 14/year 2007 concerning Bintan District Spatial Plan; ¾ Prepare detailed spatial plan for sub‐district area; and, ¾ Establish Coastal Safety Zone (Zona Sempadan Pantai). 2. Public Awareness Strategy: ¾ continue public awareness campaign through radio broadcast on the protection of coastal resources and environment, particularly targeting young generation; ¾ establish Village Information Center as formal village library under Youth, Sport and Education Office in order to sustain its operation and maintenance/development; ¾ implement Sustainable Tourism Plan and Spatial Plan Document; ¾ designate Berakit and Pengudang villages as Tourism Villages based on the Plan; ¾ use the Strategy and Action Plan as input/reference to implement Program on Development of Sustainable Tourism in the areas; and, ¾ Documentation of Monitoring Mechanism of Sustainable Tourism was recommended as monitoring and evaluation tools for the implementation of the Sustainable Tourism Plan. 3. Improvement and Diversification of Alternative Income Generation Schemes: ¾ promote Environmentally Sustainable Economic Activities; ¾ continue activities of AIGs initiated by the project; 37
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia ¾ facilitate partnership between local community and private sectors (hotel and resort owner) for marketing of local community product and support of relevant agencies to improve the product quality to become “salable” product; ¾ monitor, evaluate, and increase a number of backyard dragon fruit farming in the targeted villages; and, ¾ improve the efforts to tailoring skills of the trained people through activities supported by TRISMADES and provide additional fund to support and increase their capital resources. 38

CONCLUSSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 LESSON LEARNT ¾ The preparation phase is very significant for the success of the project implementation, especially the design and agreement on personal and institutional approaches for involving local authorities and stakeholders prior to the project launch. As information and knowledge of seagrass and its associate biota available to the local project counterparts are very limited, the most important approach is to increase their knowledge on the value of seagrass for coastal ecosystem. Without the understanding of seagrass value and the important of this project, the co‐financing and political support towards the success of this project would have been almost impossible. As the management approach of the current project was new and a pioneer in Indonesia, project guidelines for coordination, planning, and implementation and reporting should be comprehensively prepared and disseminated. ¾ Some major challenges require more time and efforts to achieve the desired targets, including changing the mind set, transferring knowledge and introducing an understanding of certain issues (i.e., conservation of coastal ecosystems, especially seagrass). The process of accepting or learning about new concepts/practices will vary depending upon age, education level and sometime on cultural/religion backgrounds of the target community. As such, people with less education opportunity such as most of the members of the local communities (e.g., fishermen, farmers) should receive sufficient information and knowledge through effective and continuous public awareness campaign. ¾ The project document should be thoroughly reviewed and understood by the project proponents to ensure that potential constraints particularly concerning the project sites are fully understood, and solutions are discussed in participatory manner with local people. ¾ Full time key personnels and contracted partners, as the project team, are strongly recommended for the kind of projects that require extra attention and professional efforts. ¾ Feasibility study on development of AIG should be done as early as possible since finding alternative income generation schemes that fit the needs, the socio economic backgrounds, the potential conditions and cultural backgrounds of each area can be a major challenge. To leverage such skills, it will take times and resources depending on the kind of training to be conducted. For example, the training on farming skills practically will take longer time to see the outcomes compared to the training for tayloring skills. It is evident that, albiet certian constraints and challenges, the project has achieved the training results within the project period. ¾ Disbursements of the GEF funds hardly cross path with those of the co‐financing. This is due to the time‐consuming process of GEF endorsement and thus the delay in launching the project implementation. Whereas the government budget has to be planned ahead, it is recommended that co‐financing from the goverment or other funding sources should be allocated earlier to anticipate the delay of fund disbursement from 39
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia donor agencies, including GEF. In such a case, activities implemented through non‐GEF sources should be counted as the project co‐financing. ¾ To ensure that the project can utlilize the most updated and unbias data on ecological and socio‐economic profiles of the project areas, it is important that the project activities should include design and constructing of the primary baseline data instead of relying on secondary databases. ¾ To enhance the worldview and strengthen the commitment for future efforts, it is recommended that opportunities should be provided for key decision makers such as the Governor and the Head of District to be invited to visit other similar successful projects outside and/or within the country. 3.2 RECOMMENDATIONs Lessons learned from executing this project are reflected in the following three categories of recommendations. A. MANAGEMENT ¾ Up to now, utilization of coastal resources in the East Coast of Bintan focuses on sectoral interests, involving a number of departments and government institutions. In some cases, such a practice has led to a conflict of interests and lack of cooperation among concerned agencies. To promote effective and efficient endeavors, coastal zone management must be undertaken in an integrated manner, involving all relevant stakeholders in the process. Based on the above thinking, it is considered important to rearrange the existing institutions to facilitate cooperation, coordination and synchronization. The new arrangement involves all relevant parties attaining their respective objectives in an effective and efficient way. It is therefore recommended that the project partners at both national and local levels maintain the level of momentum that the seagrass conservation and management of coastal resources of the East Coast of Bintan continues under the structure and functions of the well‐established EBCoMBo. The Board should continue to function as a forum for discussions on environmental and socio‐economic issues in the East Coast of Bintan through cross‐sectoral and participatory manner among stakeholders. To increase the effectiveness of this Board, it is recommended that certain authorities for decision‐making should be granted to lead or coordinate stakeholders particularly those from local government task forces, NGO’s and private sector. ¾ The East Bintan Coastal Resource Management Plan (EBCRMP) consists of three outputs: Community Based Management Plan, Sustainable Tourisms Spatial Plan, and East Bintan Coastal Area Zoning Plan. These Plans were recommended as the basis for development of the concept and practice of sustainable tourisms in the East Coast of Bintan and for the preparation of the detailed Plan of Spatial Zone. ¾ The designation of Pengudang and Berakit villages as tourism villages should be realized by all concerned stakeholders and further promoted to preserve the traditional Melayu art and culture. 40
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia ¾ Financial resources should be allocated to maintain the activities of community groups that have already developed through the Village Decrees. ¾ There are 2 main outputs that should be maintained through continuous financial support by the local government: the CITCs (Community Information and Training Centers); and, the seagrass sanctuaries. The maintenance of CITCs is recently under the responsibility of Field Facilitators, Field Motivator and community groups voluntary through the UNEP/GEF MSP. However, after the project completion, the centers have to be adopted by the local authorities in keeping the momentum. It is recommended that the CITCs are upgraded to be the village library under the administration of Bintan General Library or Education, Youth and Sport Office. Concerning the seagrass sanctuaries, the monitoring and surveillance are currently under care of the village motivators with small incentives for operations. However, such incentives will be exhausted after the UNEP/GEF MSP project completed. To keep the existence of the seagrass sanctuaries, it is recommended that the village or local government take over the responsibility for sustainability of the initiatives. B. PUBLIC AWARENESS ¾ Awareness on the importance of coastal resource sustainability especially seagrass ecosystem should be continuously campaigned through mass media such as radio and newspaper. ¾ Community‐based activities such as a clean beach program, observing the International year of biodiversity, celebration of the environment day as well as mangrove seedling plantation activities should be continued on a regular basis. ¾ An initiative on high school students scientific writing contest on marine concern conducted in Malang Rapat should be taken up on an annual basis. This initiative has stimulated and motivated as well as open up the mindset of young generations to become more concern and act toward marine and coastal conservation. ¾ Knowledge and information on the role and functions of key coastal ecosystems such as sea grasses, mangroves and coral reefs should be introduced into formal education from elementary to high school levels. ¾ Annual events such as fishing competition should be further exercised as an effective tool for marine conservation campaign. C. SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC CONCERN Recommendations on sustainable economic activities include the following. ¾ Efforts at the local level should be continued to identify and upgrade the quality of a local product that specific and marketable as a village trademark, a concept of ‘one village, one product.’ It is important that a strategy be developed and implemented to improve the technology, quality and variability of the product, as well as to provide sufficient training for the local people on marketing strategy. In addition, support in finding a niche market for the product should also be highlighted. ¾ The handicrafts and couture products of the participating communities under the TRISMADES training courses should be further developed, as well as design and 41
Terminal Report of UNEP/GEF Medium Size Project: Demonstration of Community‐based Management of Seagrass Habitat in Trikora Beach, East Bintan Riau Archipelago Province, Indonesia quality improved, to make them more marketable through advance training activities to be supported by the local government. ¾ Effective and efficient dragon fruit farming techniques and marketing should be further developed, and the knowledge distributed widely among the community members beyond the small groups of villagers trained by TRISMADES project. The goal is to encourage and provide incentives for motivating the wider audiences and stakeholders to participate in the AIG activities, while involving in the seagrass and coastal resources conservation. 42
