1 Alor Regional Marine Conservation Area (RMCA) Barrier Removal Operations Plan Marketing Mix Creative Brief Selection of Materials

2 ALOR RMCA Barrier Removal Operations Plan (BROP) Target Audience: Fishers Section 1 Executive Summary What: To reduce overfishing in the Alor Regional Marine Conservation Area (RMCA), fishers from around the RMCA, particularly in the waters of Batang dan Lapang Islands. In the development of Pantar Strait RMCA and application of the signing of MOU above, on November 22, 28, based on the initiative of the people of the Sub-District of West Pantar (6 villages, i.e. Baraler, Baranusa, Blangmerang, Piringsina, Illu and Kabir Villages) there was an agreement to temporarily cease activities that damage the area of Batang dan Lapang Islands for a specified period. Our analysis shows that the MOU has not been fully implemented. There has not been any intensive approach to implement the MOU because fishers feel the exchange of value for cost is not sufficiently attractive. The MOU is seen as restricting fishers from catching fish (high disincentives) and ignoring the value that they would get with the signing of the MOU (low incentives). This document is intended to reconstruct the incentive-disincentive strategies by providing the big picture to increase community support and define a series of activities that we would carry out. Batang and Lapang have been selected as the focus for the barrier removal strategy implementation which will be conducted in two priority pride campaign villages namely Blangmerang Village (Pantar West Sub-District) and Kabir Village (Pantar Sub-District). The selection is based on several considerations including: The area has high potential in terms of marine resources, especially reef fish The area has high pressure from overfishing This area is one of the alternatives for the core zone This activity is not yet known to have succeeded anywhere else (around conservation areas), but the Department of Marine and Fisheries has successfully established POKMASWAS (Community Based Wardens) which is a group implementing monitoring at field level which comprises religious leaders, traditional leaders, NGOs, fishers, fish farmers, as well as other members of the maritime community in 17 Sub-Districts including West Pantar, on November 27, 21, and Pantar, on 28 November 21. Both groups have not started their routine patrols as fuel prices have risen and it offers insufficient value for their members.

3 We are trying to formulate a common strategy focus for barrier removal through the following activities: 1. Redefinition of MOU on Closing Batang and Lapang Islands as the Core Zone Pilot Project and development of a SOP for POKMASWAS 2. Installation of Surveillance Buoys 3. Community Patrol s Basically, the three activities above have been conducted in other marine protected areas. However, we try to create a new strategy that will encourage all stakeholders to create a new framework for effective management of no-take zones by: 1. Providing innovative and low cost activities so that they can be implemented by the community on an ongoing basis. 2. Providing instructions that are easy for fishers to follow 3. Eliminate, reduce, improve and create new values for effective marine monitoring 4. Creating a new enthusiasm to reanalyze solutions to problems that occur The motto we offer is "No need to be a great hero, just join POKMASWAS, it is low cost". Who: We are trying to redefine the groups that will be involved in this activity: 1. Influencers group, comprised of local village government officials, religious and community leaders 2. The community in general (both Fishers and Non-Fishers) 3. Fishers who are members of POKMASWAS Through the Pride campaign, the number of people who support the POKMASWAS will increase and will continue to increase in subsequent years. When: 3

4 The program will comence in early March 211, beginning with information dissemination and the establishment of the POKMASWAS network in the two Villages. The implementation phase of Siswasmas (Community Surveillance System) will be in May 211, in which members of the public are expected to report any violation they find while at sea in order to be followed up by relevant authorities. Meanwhile, outreach activities and publicizing of the programme will be implemented by the end of July to December 211. Monitoring phase will start at the beginning of the program and last until the end to measure the impact of conservation. How: with a series of facilitation meetings, trainings and supervision of in the field implementation. Facilitation activities will pay close attention the following matters: - Examining alternatives to patterns of effective community-based monitoring - Looking at the strategic fishing groups that have an interest in monitoring strategies - Observing other community groups with potentials to involve them in monitoring strategies - Considering complementary activities for the monitoring strategy in order to make them more attractive - Observing the functional appeal of monitoring strategies - Observing the ongoing trend so that strategies may go hand in hand with village and district government programs 4

5 Section 2 - Barrier Removal Team and Stakeholders Analysis Analysis of the people who will be involved in the barrier removal strategy is basically the same as audience segmentation. The innovator group that will be put forward is the POKMASWAS. By selecting a barrier removal team and stakeholders, it is hoped that most people in the audience at the two villages will accept the idea of POKMASWAS Barrier Removal Main Project Team The Main Project Team are the first people to have information about the barrier removal strategy. - Sutio B.

27 ALOR RMCA Creative Brief Target Audience: Fishers Statement of Problem: Conservation Issues The main threat at the Regional Marine Conservation Area in Alor District, especially around the Islands of Batang and Lapang, is overfishing. This activity started a few years ago and has been going on until now. Overfishing has been done by people who live in the area around Batang and Lapang Islands especially fishers from the villages of Blangmerang, Baranusa, Piringsina and Kabir. The motivation for overfishing is to get money for children's education and daily needs. Overfishing has been done both in groups or individually using gillnet fishing gear and upright fishing rods. Fish caught are Kaok, Ikan merah, Ikan melus, Ikan Belo-belo, Ikan putih and grouper. Catches are sold to Papalele, to fish wholesalers, and sold in their own villages. Marine and coastal resources undergo changes over the years. What is meant by changes here is the decrease in the amount of natural marine resources as well as the size of catches. From around the 197's to the 199's, the fishing communities in the three hamlets and three villages did not have to go far from the waters of the Pantar Strait to fish or even from the waters of the respective villages. But now they fish as far away as the Savu Sea, the waters of the Lembata Islands and the Batutara Islands. The size of their catches has also decreased sharply, even some of the resources that used to be found in abundance in the waters surrounding Lamahala have now gone or only very little is left such as reef fish (grouper, coral trout, napoleon, snapper) which are nowadays rarely found in locations around the Pantar Strait waters and near their respective villages. If no efforts are made to reach agreements, which should be coupled with marine monitoring activities by local POKMASWAS, then there are concerns that the basic types of fish are threatened with extinction. Target audiences Fishers in the villages of Blangmerang, Baranusa, Piringsina and Kabir generally have fishing rods and gillnets. In addition, some of them also do some farming. Farmer ages range from years old. The average fishers have an education from elementary school to senior high school. When the weather is good, they fish every day, whereas during the rainy season, some fishers usually switch professions to become plantation workers or farmers. Usually they fish from 7 pm to 9 am the next day. Marine products (fish) are sold fresh. Meanwhile, when fish is abundant, the fishers wives will dry the fish in the sun and some are dried using smoke. However, they only dry certain types fish such as reef fish and small fish. Tuna is sold fresh and some people said that once they buried tuna en masse because there was too much of it because the markets both in the villages and in Kalabahi, as well as consumers directly, were not able to accept so much of it

28 The fishers in the 4 villages have not come to an agreement about the total catches, the species of fish, the fishing locations and times that they are allowed to catch fish. The level of public knowledge and attitude about overfishing is still very low, they rarely discuss overfishing. At the end of 21, two POKMASWAS in the villages of Blangmerang and Kabir were formed. But there has been no real action from these POKMASWAS. Desired action Fishers favor the establishment of an agreement to set up a core zone pilot project at Batang and Lapang Islands Fishers support monitoring activities both by local government and POKMASWAS Fishers who are members of POKMASWAS develop an SOP for Monitoring POKMASWAS carry out monitoring activities independently and submit a report every month Arrangements for fishing access to the Batang and Lapang Islands core zone pilot project Fishers supports installation of boundary markers (buoys) for the Batang and Lapang Islands core zone pilot project Barriers to action Limited knowledge and access to the media, particularly with regard to overfishing The community s living standards are very low and very dependent on the sea around Batang and Lapang Islands Monitoring facilities and infrastructure owned by POKMASWAS are very limited Benefit Exchange By supporting POKMASWAS, the community gain the following advantages: Preserved nature which potentially may attract tourists The sea is safe from illegal fishing by fishers from outside the area Free conservation education Seaweed Processing Training (a cooperation between FAO and the Government of Alor) Protected by the law if there is illegal fishing

31 ALOR RMCA Selection of Materials Target Audience: Fishers Brochure Sustainable Fishing Attempts to preserve marine resources belonging to the people A reserve area is needed Perhaps it is necessary to start thinking about how to limit the amount of fishing equipment or the number of fishing businneses in our area to maintain an abundance of fish. Perhaps we also need to establish clear boundaries for an area that is recognized, stocked and managed, by legal means or other effective ways, to safeguard our sea, its ecosystem that serves us, and the community s culture, in a sustainable way. Do you support this? Pride Campaign 211

32 Overfishing? The number of fishing fleets generally increases over the years. All of them compete to catch fish. Over time, areas that used to be productive suddenly stop being productive because all the fish have gone (both big and small). As a result, the time it takes to go fishing grows longer and the fish that are caught get smaller and the fishers profits dwindle. Things get worse when the fleets keeps increasing year after year. The increase in both size and number of boats and fishing equipment indicates the situation is out of control. If there is a decrease in the number of boats fishing in an area, the main reason is definitely because fishers are leaving due to the depleted fish stocks. After depleting a fishing area and its surroundings, fishers will move further away to find new areas for fishing. Eventually, some areas stop producing fish, some types of fish have disappeared, and many fish species have disappeared.
