The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Indonesia Program aims to conserve marine
resources vital to the protection and sustainability of a wide range of human
activities and livelihoods. Consequently, conservation efforts cannot be
separated from the management of fisheries or interaction with coastal
communities. WCS employs a rigorous science-based approach to build capacity,
strengthen management, support policy and regulation development, and inspire
community stewardship for the protection and sustainable use of critical marine
ecosystems, fisheries and threatened species. To achieve these goals, WCS
employs a science to management approach to assisting the Indonesian government
to establish and manage marine protected areas (MPAs), manage small-scale
fisheries, and conserve sharks and rays in Aceh, North Sulawesi, West Nusa
Tenggara, and North Maluku plus several other sites.
WCS Indonesia’s approach is defined by the five core WCS Global components of
Protect, Discover, Inspire and Leverage, and Build. This structure was
developed as part of WCS 2020 to reflect the importance of combining our
scientific research with broader public awareness and direct engagement with
decision makers. Success will depend on our ability to leverage the interplay
between these themes to create larger policy and protection impacts.
The WCS Indonesia Marine program focuses on the establishment and effective
management of MPAs and development of sustainable fisheries, as interlinked
strategies to secure and manage Indonesia’s coastal marine resources. WCS is
committed to assisting the Government of Indonesia to meet its national and
international commitments to MPA establishment and management – including the
commitment to achieve 32.5 million hectares of MPAs by 2030. MPAs benefit both
biodiversity and fisheries management by protecting habitats and protecting
breeding populations of important marine organisms.
