APRI with more than 30 national and international stakeholders in Blue Swimming Crab were get together in a workshop held by MMAF’s Directorate of Fish Resources (Sumber Daya Ikan), with support from Starling Resources on 18 August 2015 in Jakarta. The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) is developing pilot projects to test and implement comprehensive, sub-WPP, multi-stakeholder Blue Swimming Crab (BSC) fishery management. On a parallel track Starling Resources and its partners recently convened a workshop with multiple BSC fishery stakeholders (Komunitas Rajungan) to identify objectives, challenges and opportunities with regards to sustainable long-term social, economic, and environmental management of the BSC fishery. A potential pilot project was introduced at the workshop as a means of making concrete progress towards effective and participatory fisheries management at the appropriate jurisdictional scale in Indonesia.

MMAF’s Directorate of Fish Resources (Sumber Daya Ikan), with support from Starling Resources and its partners, is now starting a systematic and collaborative pilot project planning process. This workshop is the first milestone in that process. The workshop aims to engage diverse BSC stakeholders (Komunitas Rajungan) including and other Directorates under MMAF and to launch the pilot project planning and site selection process. The pilot project concept note (see related documents) will be introduced and discussed at the workshop and roles and next steps will be identified and agreed.

The objectives are to:

• Launch pilot project planning process; establish and agree to pilot project process and schedule
• Design and launch site selection process
• Review and screen options for pilot project site(s)
• Identify roles and next steps
