Background
The overlapping policies between forestry, regional development, and fisheries have been creating an endless unjust situation for the coastal society. Hossain, Gain, and Rogers (2020) identified the coastal social system as heterogeneous communities with great dependency on natural resources but still vulnerable due to climate change and power imbalance in managing the area1. As of now, the global society is trying to push the livelihood development practices of the communities to be sustainable, we need to consider a balance between social, economy and ecology.
So, there shall be a conjunction between government and the community to be on the same page on how the natural resources shall be managed. Talking about the coast, it is obvious that the mangrove forest is playing a crucial role in the ecosystem, while at the same time there have been many cases where people cut the mangrove to make a pond for shrimp or fish. Unfortunately, there have been many ponds being closed due to shrimp or fish disease, which add another disturbance to the mangrove forest2. Analyzing the situation, it is obviously violating the higher forestry law which is the Law No. 41 Year 1991, if mangrove forest is part of protected area, even though there have been errors on putting several areas on other use3.
However, looking into the coastal community society, it has been noticed that they lack knowledge on sustaining their ponds, whereas a co-joint management like silvo-aquaculture is needed to reach sustainability4. The study of silvo-aquaculture can still be a complex knowledge for the communities, so continuous capacity building is needed for better results.
Aims
This workshop aims to share knowledge between four institutions and the coastal community where the workshop take place with several points hope to be reach:
- How is the current policy of forestry towards the mangrove ecosystem?
- How to create a sustainable coastal socio-ecological system?
- How to shift info silvo-aquaculture practices?
- How to finance coastal communities?
