Studies and Research

• Turtle nesting. Hatchery for turtle eggs laid on
  the south coast of Ujung Kulon.
• Heart cockle (Anadara sp). Study on the
  distribution and growth of clams living on the
  mudflat in Ujung Kulon National Park.
• Soft coral farming (underway). Research for
  possible rehabilitation methods as well as
  marketing potential of soft corals.

12
Monitoring

Sustainable Use of Resources

• Sea weed in traditional utilization zone (south
  coast).
• Sea weed farming.
• Use of artificial reef (in progress).

16
Community Participation

• Community involvement in marine patrol units.
  Community members become crew of the patrol
  units.
• Community patrol in relevance with traditional
  sea weed utilization in south coast. Local
  people are involved in managing and preserving
  the traditional utilization zone.
• Community involvement in coral farming and
  transplantation activities. Local people will
  eventually be involved in the rehabilitation of
  nearby coral reef in return of the economic
  benefit of coral farming.

17
Conclusions

• Rich biodiversity in Ujung Kulon national park
  offers tremendous opportunities for studies,
  research, and also for the well being of the
  people.
• Marine biodiversity is protected to preserve its
  potentials. Efforts can include local people as
  an active key component.
• Preservation of marine resources and potentials
  will eventually support the integrated efforts
  for biodiversity and endangered species
  conservation.
