1st International Seminar on
Tropical Aquatic Resources Science and Management
in conjunction with
the 1st National Congress of the Indonesian Aquatic Resources Management Association
The seminar will be held on:
Date: 28 – 29 September 2016
Location: Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia
Venue: Sintesa Peninsula Hotel, Manado, Indonesia
Conducted by: Sam Ratulangi University
Theme:
Enhancing sustainable environmental resources management: poverty alleviation and climate adaptation strategies in Indonesia
Background:
Nowadays the development has leaded to a tremendous pressure to the tropical marine resources. Researchers are working hard to undertake and promote ecological education, research and extension in order to sustain and continue the management of marine resources. In many parts of the tropical countries, problem and constraint in managing the resources have become urgent issue that need to be addressed. The well-being of the people in the coastal areas is the center of effective and highly developed management approach as well as application of relevant knowledge and technology in tropical marine resources management. Excellent integrated approach to serve as an instrument for the attainment of a balanced management of the tropical marine resources for the present and future generations is a must.
The rapid deterioration of coastal marine resources spurred the implementation of the Ecosystem Approach Fisheries Management (EAFM) program. Its major objective is to come up with a holistic tropical coastal resources management science to answer the needs for environmental-friendly development. And therefore this seminar on Tropical Marine Resources Management and Science was designed to focus on eco-hydrological system (including the rehabilitation of degraded agricultural water and lands), erosion control & water security, integrated coastal zone management, biodiversity assessment & conservation and protection and restoration of coastal habitats with focus on the proper management of fisheries and agriculture.
Objectives:
Educators and researchers, policy makers, and practitioners are invited to:
- Update and share research findings on environmental sciences & management;
- Discuss current environmental policy and management programs;
- Establish a network on tropical aquatic resource management in Indonesia;
- Enhance public involvement on environmental management.
Topics:
In accordance with the theme and the objectives of the seminar, following is the topics of the seminar:
- Sustainable Fisheries: Blue economy, Ecosystem Approach Fisheries Management (EAFM), Aquaculture, Friendly Fishing Technology, Integrated Multi-trophic Aquaculture.
- Tropical Coastal Zone Management: Marine Protected Area (MPA), Coastal Ecosystem Management, Marine Pollution and Mitigation, Ecosystem Services, Coastal Indigenous Resilience.
