Summary

Eastern Indonesia has the most biologically diverse reefs on the planet yet throughout most of this area unsustainable artisanal fisheries are severely damaging the reefs. Indonesia needs to find a way to sustainably manage these reef fisheries both to protect the biodiversity value but also to provide income to local communities. This project demonstrates a model for how reef fisheries in the vast majority of areas where there is no agreed ownership of reef sections by individuals, families or villages (ownership would always be a preferred option but is not practicable unfortunately in large parts of Indonesia)) could be managed sustainably by restricting access to the fishery via a registration scheme, empowering local communities to manage their own fisheries via fishery performance data and using business income to reduce overall fishing effort by operating a ‘buy out’ scheme.
