The Joint Philippines - Indonesia Workshop

39 Success can be measured in a variety of ways using biological, socioeconomic, attitudes and beliefs perceptions and governance factors. The simplest analysis would be to dichotomize sites into successful and unsuccessful sites and compare them in terms of the independent variables. Depending on the final number of sites surveyed as well as the quality and availability of information obtained on the sites, more sophisticated analysis may be conducted. Sites may be ranked such as very successful, moderately successful, not successful, etc. or factor analyzed using a number of dependent and independent variables. Another type of analysis the project hopes to undertake will be to look at how different groups perceive success. For instance, a government official or scientist may view a decrease in the rate of reef degradation as successful, whereas a fisher may only consider it successful if he or she perceives an increase in fish catch. The purpose of these analyses are to determine which independent factors are more significant than others in determining success, or under what conditions are some factors more important than others. The field research report, where possible, will try to provide short examples of how these factors have played out at actual sites surveyed. It is expected that this study will help verify, or not verify, success factors found in the literature and proposed by the experts in the focus group sessions. The goal is to be able to provide better advice to individuals and institutions engaged in replicating marine sanctuaries in other locations, either in the Philippines and Indonesia, as well as to have a higher level of certainty concerning the advice that is given. Up until recently, most conclusions concerning success factors has been based on a small number of case studies or on the collective wisdom and experiences of coastal management professionals. However, there is a growing body of coastal management literature, which attempts to apply more systematic and quantitative methods over a large number of sites. To our knowledge, this is the first time this approach will be applied specifically to CB-MS.

5.2 The Joint Philippines - Indonesia Workshop

A joint workshop between Philippine and Indonesian coastal management professionals involved with CB-MS will be conducted. The purpose of the workshop is to share Indonesian and Philippines experience as well as discuss ways to improve and promote successful CB-MS replication. It is tentatively scheduled for September 2000, and will be held in Davao, Philippines and Manado, Indonesia, over a period of six days. Due to budget constraints and to maximize interactive discussions, the number of participants will be kept to less than 30 individuals. Participants will represent government, universities, NGOs, people’s organizations, and CRM assistance projects. Indonesian participants will travel to Davao where they will join Philippine participants for the initial part of the workshop. The reports from the focus group sessions and the field research will be presented and discussed, and a visit to a nearby CB-MS arranged as well. The Indonesian participants and as many of the Philippine participants as budget will allow, will go to Manado to visit North Sulawesi CB-MS sites. In Manado, the participants will discuss lessons from Indonesian experience and plans for developing a provincial program whose mission is to replicate marine sanctuaries in coastal villages within the province. During the workshop, 40 experience between the two countries will be compared and discussed; and an outline for a guidance document on best practices for establishing, implementing and replicating CB-MS will be developed. An Indonesian TV cameraman and reporter will also attend the workshop to gather information and materials for a documentary and public education video on CB-MS directed at Indonesian audiences, which will be developed in the following year of the project. Outputs of the workshop will be produced and distributed in proceedings. The outputs will also be used for consideration of materials and capacity development strategies in North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
