ZONING ADJUSTMENT BINTAN MPA
In an effort to adjust the Bintan MPA Zoning Plan with the PERMEN KP No. 31 of 2020, we coordinate and hold several meetings with DKP Prov. Kepri and BPSPL Padang Satker Tanjungpinang and FIKP UMRAH. We focus on mapping and recalculating zoning and confirmation to several villages within the Conservation Area including the Core Zone in the Bintan MPA - 01. Apart from the Core Zone, Utilization Zones (Capture Fisheries Sub-Zone, Aquaculture Sub-Zone, Tourism Sub-Zones and Other Zones (Port Zone, Rehabilitation Zone, Zone Area According to Characteristics) were discussed in a coordination meeting held with DKP Prov. Kepri during February 2021. We hope this will become a good foundation for DKP Prov. Kepri in implementing Public Consultation and Technical Consultation in the Zoning Plan which will be carried out in the future.
