• Activities should be strategic and maintain innovation. There is no “cookie-cutter” approach that can be applied well in all locations. This point needs to be made in promoting models developed by
CRMP. An important part of the project’s success has been its adaptive approach. • It is unlikely that the intensity of effort required in the early stages in North Sulawesi Anchor
communities could be sustained in government or donor-sponsored programs. This point needs to be addressed when these models are promoted.
• A key area where scaling up has started is in Likupang, North Sulawesi. The activities there require a realistic assessment about what can be accomplished with less CRMP involvement in the future. It
would be most difficult to suddenly withdraw support for work started in this past year. • Scaling-up involves a whole range of locations and activities started under CRMP. Those models
identified as being of particular importance include: village level initiatives such as marine sanctuaries coupled to best practices for sustainable fisheries and ecosystem conservation; local integrated
planning and institutional mechanisms exemplified by the Balikpapan Bay Council and Management Plan; coastal resource atlases and their utilization for management and budgeting as exemplified by the
Lampung Coastal Resource Management Plan; local, district, and provincial legislation, regulations, directives and ordinances; coastal resource centers and technical activities as exemplified by work
started through IPB and INCUNE.
