There were 10 participants involved in this training from 2 institutions, namely Department Marine and Fisheries Riau Islands and The Ecology Foundation. While the facilitators came from CI-Indonesia, IPB University, and BPPP Medan MMAF.

 

Establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) throughout the region needs to go hand in hand with an increase in the capacity of human resources for effective management of MPA. The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia together with partners is making special efforts to prepare competent professionals to carry out sustainable fisheries planning in MPA.

 

To be able to create competent professionals, Conservation International Indonesia has conducted training of trainers / Training of Trainers (TOT) management of Marine Protected Areas conducted virtually / remotely. This was done because the participants would be involved in the training as facilitators to train various stakeholders who had direct or indirect contact with the MPAs in the Riau Islands. In addition, participants are expected to be able to effectively manage the MPAs in Riau Islands.
