Capacity Building Programs
1. Marine Conservation Action Planning
This training aims to provide participants with insights on the planning methodology for Marine Protected Areas, called Conservation Action Planning (CAP). CAP is a straightforward and proven approach for planning, implementing, and measuring success for conservation projects. The methodology was developed by conservation practitioners working in real places. It has been tested and deployed successfully by hundreds of teams working to conserve species, sites, ecosystems, landscapes, and seascapes across the globe. While the training will use examples from all over the world, there is a strong focus on the Indonesian situation.
2. Patrol, Surveillance and Enforcement (PSE) for MPAS
This training aims to provide participants with a thorough understanding of effective PSE system, and a clear step-wise process t
3. Marine Biological Surveying and Observational Monitoring
This training program aims to prepare participants for in-field surveying and monitoring of a range of biomes and species. The training is compartmentalized into different focus areas, and these areas may be taken independently for focused learning or holistically as an overall course. The training uses examples from all over the world, with a strong focus on the Indonesian situation.
4. Managing for Climate Change in Marine Protected Areas
Planning for climate adaptation will require a planning team committed to the process and team members with the authority, specialized expertise, and resources to take action. By participating in this training, participants learn to effectively integrate planned climate change adaptations into existing plans, programs, policies, ongoing community development, and coastal management efforts.
5. Marine Resource Use Monitoring
Resource use monitoring (RUM) is a method of monitoring socio-economic activities being conducted in relation to MPA management. The monitoring is conducted to assess and understand the range of different types of activities being undertaken in an MPA in relation to the utilization of marine resources at the site. RUM is an important tool for MPA managers, and the data from the monitoring is useful to support MPA managers and decision-makers to develop appropriate, considerate, and robust MPA management plans, and improve MPA management implementation.
6. Reef Health Monitoring
Reef health monitoring (RHM) is a biological monitoring tool to help inform MPA managers and decision-makers about the status of, and any trends of change, in coral reef and fish condition. RHM is critical for providing science-based input to ensure effective and adaptive MPA management. A monitoring person should have both the diving skills and the coral and fish identification skills necessary to conduct reef health monitoring. The RHM protocol taught in this course uses Point Intercept Transect (PIT) technique for surveying coral, and Underwater Visuall Census technique (UVC) and timed swimming for surveying fish.
7. Sustainable Financing for Marine Protected Areas
This course is an introduction into the concepts of sustainable financing and the range of tools and mechanisms available to support the longterm financing of MPAs.
8. Blue Economy in Sustainable Fisheries Management
This course is based on Blue Economy-MMAF curriculum and slightly adapted with new modules that focus on the needs of fisheries extension officers. The new modules introduce topics on marine and fisheries resource management; a change from past modules topics of mariculture and fish processing. Fisheries extension officers play an important role; they serve as agents of change in community outreach and development.
9. Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM)
This course teaches students how to use local and scientific knowledge, information, and systems to develop and implement an ecosystem approach to fishery management plans. The course also builds skills in monitoring the success of the plan and in the use of culturally appropriate means to ensure compliance.
10. Economic Valuation Skills for Marine and Coastal Management
This training aims to introduce students to basic economic theories and concepts to support the analysis of natural resource use patterns. Participants will learn to craft policy responses that lead to the sustainable use of resources. The course specifically focuses on techniques to identify and quantify the economic value of ecosystem goods and services
11. Facilitation Techniques for MPA Public Consultation
This course provides a basic introdu introduction to techniques and tips for facilitation in the context of Marine Protected Areas and is a basic training for learning core facilitation techniques. Participants gain the knowledge and skills needed by a facilitator to effectively lead group discussions.
12. Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM)
This course teaches students how to develop an integrated coastal zone management plan, utilizing a range of analytical techniques and tools.
13. Using MARXAN in the Design of a Marine Protected Area
This training provides participants with knowledge on designing an MPA/ on conservation planning based on mapped marine habitat features cost features, geographically relevant social use patterns, and marine biodiversity. This conservation planning process guides decisions about the location, configuration, and management of conservation areas. The aims of conservation planning are to get efficient, repeatable, transparent, and equitable processed established for making conservation decisions. During training, the participants will be introduced to the use of an automated reserve selection tool called MARXAN used to incorporate data, capture targets for conservation scenarios, and produce locational analyses regarding the placement of an MPA or the design of area management within an MP?
