originally had a main emphasis planned in the proposal on developing training and extension materials with limited capacity building and training activities in Year 2. However, we felt that
undertaking several capacity building initiatives were warranted while simultaneously working on the extension support materials in Year 2. Year 3 activities included continuing development
of materials not completed in Year 2 along with continued capacity building and program institutionalization. These activities are described below.
2.2 Development of Materials to Support Replication
2.2.1 Targeting Replication
A database of coastal communities in Minahasa was developed by CRITC Coral Reef Information and Training Center at UNSRAT. An electronic copy of the database and a hard
copy summary in the form of a technical report were produced. From 132 coastal villages in Minahasa Regency only 33 villages have information about their environmental coastal
resources. Out of these 33 villages, only 12 have complete detailed data on all ecosystems such as mangroves, coral reefs, and sea grasses. This database was used as part of the rapid
assessment of the Likupang Sub-District secondary data review prior to fieldwork of the Minahasa District and where the Project started scaling-up activities in 24 villages in 2002.
Socioeconomic and environmental surveys were conducted in Likupang coastal villages to establish a baseline prior to the start of scaling-up activities. This information was incorporated
into simple village coastal issue profiles developed by community core groups and community organizers in 16 villages. This issue identification process started the planning process for
marine and mangrove sanctuary establishment as well as the basis for development of village integrated coastal management plans. One hundred copies of each village profile was produced
in a simple format and distributed in the village, and to Kecamatan, and Minahasa Regency governments.
2.2.2 A Guide to Establishing Community-Based Marine Sanctuaries
Substantial progress was made on writing the guide in Year 2 and a final version was produced in Year 3. We used a more extended process to develop this guide than initially anticipated.
First, an international intern conducted a needs assessment among potential guidebook users both at the national and local level, including government officers, NGOs and university
representatives. This needs assessment was used to revise the working outline developed previously. Johnnes Tulungen then traveled to URI for a writing workshop on this guide earlier
in the year. However, he developed Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever on the plane and was immediately hospitalized on arrival in Rhode Island. Minor progress was made after his
recovery, but this set us back somewhat on the timeline for document production. Brian Crawford and Tom Bayer helped produce some sections of the book. We went through an
extensive process of developing a set of figures to complement the text developed. These figures help to graphically illustrate concepts of overfishing and the ecological theory behind marine
sanctuaries and no-take zones. They have been used for training purposes as well. The Manado team conducted a writer’s workshop to translate a few sections that were drafted in English,
finalize the remaining sections of the guidebook and provide internal peer review of the complete document. In Year 3, the final draft underwent external peer review as well as review by staff at

the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries. The guide was printed in cooperation with the Ministry of Marine Affaires and Fisheries providing an additional degree of national
endorsement for CB-MPAs and 2500 copies have been distributed throughout the country. The guide has also been used for training activities conducted in Likupang Sub-District and as a basis
of the curriculum and structure of the marine sanctuaries outreach course held in March 2003.
2.2.3 Developing Pubic Education Materials
