E-MPA Awards

• Objectives: (1) to give incentives to MPA management unit; and (2) to encourage MPA management units to improve their

performance (thus their effectiveness). • The award will be presented every two-year, and the inaugural

event was held in December 17, 2013. • The awards were consisted of 1 for special category (MPA favorite);

5 for successful pilot MPAs; and 17 for accelerated MPA development.

• We strongly believe that this award had encouraged change of status of several MPAs

Trust Fund for MPA Development

• One of many challenges facing by MPA development in Indonesia is limited funding; in many cases they are insufficient to support effective management of MPA.

• National MPA Trust Fund aims at making available the needed fund to compliment existing fund and directed specifically for program development, implementation and management.

• It is still on its infancy and we are still looking the best approach for the mechanisms (although a presidential regulation on trust fund is already available, i.e. PerPres RI No. 80/2011 on Trust Fund).
