Project Overview
Rare is a fast-growing international conservation organization already making
strides towards promoting widespread sustainable fishing practices in multiple
countries. One of the countries is Indonesia with the goal of improving near
shore fisheries. Most of the small-scale fisheries in Indonesia are inherently
local: fishers from coastal communities' fish their near-shore waters and sell
their catch in the local market. These fisheries are anchors to the local
economy - a key part of the social and cultural fabric of the archipelago and
essential to the nation's food security. To ensure sustainable coastal
fisheries, effective management must focus at the same level as the activity:
locally. But, devolution of fisheries management authority from the Indonesian
national government to the district level and the subsequent re-absorption to
the provincial level has left critical gaps in effective fisheries governance
across coastal communities.
Since 2014, Rare in Indonesia has used behavior-centered design to build a
community's agency and capacity to address coastal fishing challenges and adopt
more responsible fishing behaviors. To develop this agency and capacity, we
have created a suite of tools that enables fisheries data collection, fisheries
management body development, fisher goal-setting and management plan
development, and a process for Managed Access+Reserve (MA+R) implementation.
Central to the Fish Forever model is the proven "TURF+R" system (Territorial
Use Rights for Fishing + Reserve) with its eight elements of success components
(Figure 1). This model combines spatial property rights for fishing areas with
marine reserves (or No Take Zones - NTZs), protecting key habitats where fish
stocks can rebuild. As fish populations recover in these reserves, a spillover
effect can improve catch in the adjacent fishing zones.
To create country level movement that promotes change in marine conservation
and fisheries management regimes, Rare Indonesia needs to change its
approaches. The new law No 23/2014 on Regional Government withdraws district
government's authority and gives back the authority to provincial government.
This power shifting advocates us to work more strategically, so for example,
instead of working sporadically at the site level in many provinces, we shall
focus on one or two selected provinces. Innovative approaches include allocate
potential MA+R sites under existing marine areas management regime to support
legal recognition. Shifting the capacity building strategy from individual
focus to a collective team focus is another approach, this requires us to
create incentive systems and training models that are more practical yet
rewarding. Lastly, we also need to integrate sustainable financing mechanisms
that will sustain MA+R and behavior change initiatives in the long run.

The position will support the implementation of MA+R for changing coastal

shore fisheries from unregulated-open-access model to managed one. Some key
