From Policy to Practice: Making Marine Protected Areas Work on the Ground

Bagaimana kebijakan konservasi laut benar-benar diterapkan di lapangan? Tompotika Foundation hadir membawa jawabannya—menghubungkan strategi berbasis kebijakan dengan aksi nyata bersama masyarakat pesisir.

Melalui pendekatan kolaboratif, kami berfokus pada penguatan kawasan konservasi laut (MPA) agar tidak hanya menjadi dokumen, tetapi benar-benar hidup dan memberikan manfaat bagi ekosistem laut serta kesejahteraan masyarakat lokal. Dari edukasi, pemberdayaan, hingga pengelolaan berbasis komunitas—semua menjadi bagian dari perjalanan kami menjaga laut Indonesia.

Mari jadi bagian dari perubahan untuk laut yang lebih berkelanjutan 💙

Masyarakat Desa Taima Siap Jaga Laut Banggai! 🌊🤝

Baru saja selesai dilaksanakan agenda penting: Penandatanganan Rencana Aksi KKD Banggai DALAKA Area VI di Desa Taima. Kolaborasi antara Yayasan Blue Alliance Indonesia, Yayasan Tompotika Biodiversity Lestari dan Pemerintah Desa Taima ini melahirkan semangat baru dalam menjaga ruang laut kita.

Apa saja hasilnya?

Pengawasan Mandiri: Sistem pengawasan akan dilakukan secara bergulir oleh warga desa.

Lahirnya POKMASWAS: Masyarakat mengusulkan pembentukan kelompok pengawas resmi.

Capacity Building: Blue Alliance Indonesia bersama Tompotika Biodiversity Lestari berkomitmen mendampingi dan memberikan pelatihan khusus bagi kelompok pengawas.

Langkah ini membuktikan bahwa konservasi yang paling kuat adalah yang lahir dari inisiatif dan kesepakatan masyarakat lokal. Mari kita kawal bersama!

Today, we introduce Sriwahyuni Salatun in our series, where we showcase the local perspectives and vital work of team members in our Marine Protected Areas in Indoensia, Zanzibar, and the Philippines. 🌎

Sriwahyuni is one of the four head rangers of Blue Alliance Banggai (Areas 6 + 7). Together with local authorities, they are conducting 24/7/365 land and seaborne patrols within the two MPAs, ensuring enhanced biodiversity protection and control of destructive and unsustainable fishing activities for an expansive 24,461 hectares of marine and coastal ecosystems. In 2023 alone, the local ranger team collectively completed an impressive 660 hours of patrol!

🐠🌊 What motivated Sriwahyuni to dedicate herself to the ocean?
"My journey into the world of conservation began in 2010. I started to realise that several endemic species in Sulawesi were highly protected, yet their natural ecosystems were under threat in my region. In the area where I live, there’s a place where turtles lay their eggs, which had been managed responsibly, but it became marginalised by a sand mining company. I have always loved watching the hatchlings and felt joy seeing them released into their natural environment. Seeing these turtles lose their homes feels like humans being forcibly evicted from their own land by irresponsible people. I hope my small steps in marine conservation will have a big impact on the community and environment where I live, ensuring it remains naturally preserved. I want people to continue living comfortably and happily, with sustainable sources of food and income."
