 Marine spatial planning in Indonesia 

The Savu Sea has supported thousands of fish and wildlife species, and they are crucial for the regional economy, culture, and quality of life. To ensure their survival, one must understand the cause (stressor) threatening the Savu Sea. Therefore, the Indonesian government initiated a three-step series in MSP to address conservation stress.

Step 1: Identifying threats

Step 2: Gather scientific surveys to overlook the biodiversity threats, conditions, and priority areas for patrolling.

Step 3: The final step involves a four-type ocean zoning design: core zones, research/education, fisheries zone, and a marine tourism zone.

The MSP process is ongoing for the entire ecoregion, which involves communication between agencies and stockholders involved in park management.
