Ministry of Forestry has beenaleadagencyintheprocessandhasestablishedapproximately5.5million haofmarineprotectedareas. Since establishment of Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) at late 1999, the momentum for development of marine protected areas in Indonesia

    has been growing stronger. A new paradigm and approach have been initiated throughenactmentofLaw31,2004onFisheriesandLaw27,2007onCoastaland SmallIslandsManagement. Conservation and social economic interest are considered proportionally. Under these new laws, sustainable fisheries zone are introduced within MPA zones to accommodatelocalpeoplessocialandeconomiclife.Thisnewarrangementwill notonlyprovidemoreopportunityforlocalcommunitybutalsostrengthenlocal participationandconservationsustainability.Law27,2007inspecificwillensure integratedapproachincoastalresourcesmanagement.

In combination, since 1980s to 2009 Indonesian government has established more than 13.5 million ha of marine protected areas. This achievement will contributenotonlyforsustainabilityofmarineandcoastalresourcesinIndonesia butalsotheprotectionofbiodiversityintheworld. To maintain and improve collaboration between national agencies, MMAF and Ministry of Forestry have agreed to harmonize their responsibility in marine conservation. This harmonization will accelerate and strengthen cooperation in management of MPA in Indonesia. Eight MPAs have been handed over from Ministry of Forestry to MMAF at 2008 and more close collaboration in capacity buildingwillbecarriedout.
