1. Community based approaches:
Silvo-fisheries, Bio-rights and Blue Carbon

2. The historic of Indonesia Mangrove
Source :
1,638,000 ha mangrove deforested within two decade (1970-1990) RePPort (1987)in WIIP (1999)

3. Conversion to shrimps ponds; Main
driver of deforestation
WIIP (1999) and DKP (2010)

4. Silvo-fishery
» Integration of aquaculture (fishery culture ) and forestry (planting mangrove) practice in the pond
area (WIIP)
» A form of integrated mangrove tree culture with brackishwater aquaculture (A. Quarto and the
Mangrove Action Project).
In Indonesia silvo-fishery has been applied since early 90-ies.

5. Bio-rights
“Bio-rights is an innovative financing mechanism for reconciling poverty
alleviation and environmental conservation. By providing micro-credits for
sustainable development, the approach enables local communities to refrain from
unsustainable practices and be actively involved in environmental conservation and
restoration”

7. BLUE CARBON *)
Blue carbon is the carbon stored, sequestered and released from coastal
ecosystems including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows.
Blue carbon activities refer to coastal ecosystems management activities
which result in avoided emissions and carbon stocks enhancement through
afforestation/reforestation/revegetation)
*IUCN & CI: International Blue Carbon Policy Working Group held from 12-14 July 2011 at CI’s headquarters in Arlington, VA

Added values>>wild shrimps
• Average catch : 1.5 kg of shrimp everyday in one pond, 2 weeks per month.
• Potential income from one pond = Rp. 562.500,- to Rp. 1.912.500,- per
month (USD 61.5 – 209/month)
• Average Catch = 3 kg of shrimps per day.
• Potential income by farmer from one pond = Rp. 1.050.000 per month. (USD 115
/month)

10. WIIP –Accionatura Spain
• Voluntary scheme
• Target: 10,000 ton CO2e within 15 year
• Applying ARR >>> planting mangrove in abandoned
ponds
• 8 mangrove species
• Carbon pools: AGB, BGB, Soil C

13. LESSONS LEARNED
• Land status (secured for long terms commitment) is
crucial for project
• Community involvement is very important to safeguard
project
• Low carbon prices should be anticipated by diversifying
activities (incl. ecotourism )
