Small-scale shrimp farmer practice improvement for better livelihoods and coordination amongst neighbours in Indonesia
In Indonesia 5000 people, primarily men, are receiving training on better shrimp farming practices towards the local Good Aquaculture Practices (GAP) certification and on group development. 5000 people associated with these shrimp farms, mainly women, are receiving training on improved post-harvest processing of products from the ponds with the aim of improving income through the development of small businesses. There are two main areas of focus; that farms perform more efficiently and that overall risks are reduced through greater coordination between farms, specifically with the development of local resource user groups. The expected shrimp production of this project is 38,500 MT Indonesia GAP certified.

Building with nature Indonesia – Securing Eroding Delta Coastlines’
A Dutch consortium of coastal engineering concerns, NGOs and maritime knowledge institutes (Witteveen+Bos, Deltares, EcoShape, Wetlands International, Wageningen University and IMARES) together with the Indonesian government and Indonesian partners recently developed an innovative approach to mangrove restoration near the city of Semarang, northern Java island. With the initiative the partners aim to enhance coastal resilience for 70,000 vulnerability people in Central Java by avoiding further coastal flooding and erosion and by providing them with a long term perspective for sustainable economic development through revitalization of aquaculture ponds for crab and shrimp farming.

Mangroves for the Future (MFF)
Building on a history of coastal management interventions before and after the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, MFF provides a collaboration platform among the many different agencies, sectors and countries which are addressing challenges to coastal ecosystem and livelihood issues. MFF activities in Indonesia are supporting local communities to restore and manage coastal ecosystems in order to improve the benefits obtained from it. Priority is being given to building awareness on the economic value of coastal resources and increasing the resilience of ecosystem-dependent coastal communities. Local Indonesian communities are learning about the importance of mangroves for storm protection, fisheries support, climate change adaptation and mitigation, and also their cultural significance.
