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.

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”

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)

• 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

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 )
