Marine biodiversity loss in Spermonde Islands, Southwestern
Sulawesi, Indonesia: Assessing capacity and impacts of destructive fishing
practices
Objectives
-
To study will review the current reef condition,
fish diversity and destructive fishing practices occurring in the
Spemonde Islands.
-
To explore any opportunity to develop an alternative
fishing strategy that is environmentally friendly but economically
viable.
Research Theme
Activities
-
Site selection
-
Conduct preliminary survey using ambient environmental
parameters (e.g. temperature, salinity, light penetration, cloud cover
and wind).
-
Conduct point sampling method to survey the reef
cover and condition.
-
Survey fish diversity using reef fish visual census.
-
Conduct random-sampling of socio-economic parameters.
Expected Outcomes
- Reports
- Key findings in the study will be published in IMA International
"Marinelife" publications
- The study will gather data and information, both primary and secondary,
related to reefs-related use patterns, stakeholders' characteristics
and perceptions, gender issues, organization and resource governance,
traditional knowledge, market attributes for extractive and non-extractive
uses, non-market and non-use values of coral reefs.
- Key findings in survey area will be extrapolated to represent all
other sites in Indonesia fit to site selection criteria. Furthermore,
it will also contribute to the data needed by Indonesia's Country
Status Report on Live Reef Fish and Coral Exploitation and Trade,
a joint initiative between IMA Indonesia, the Indonesia's Ministry
of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. IMA will submit the study's recommendations
to the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries' policy formulation
and decision-making process.
