Save Our Small Island, Keep Sea Level Rise

Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DKP) through the Marine and Fisheries Research Agency (BRKP) continue to disseminate the results of the World Ocean Conference (WOC) 2009 and Manado Ocean Declaration (MOD), among others in Palembang, South Sumatra.

Head of Regional Research Center for Marine and non-biological Resources Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, Dr Budi Sulistyo said it continues to strengthen the mitigation system to avoid loss of small islands and the impact on climate change in the form of rising sea levels.

"Losing a number of small islands that occurred recently is the phenomenon of climate change impacts are increasingly perceived the world community, among others, due to melting icebergs at the poles," he said.

Keeping in coastal marine ecosystems is an effort to mitigate the loss of small islands and rising sea levels.

Exploitation of natural resources in coastal sea by irresponsible parties, has created pollution and fatal damage.

"As a result, marine disaster strikes, whether it be flood or rob the impact further impoverishing the people who live in the coastal ocean," he said.

The government should issue a variety of coastal management policies and small islands based mitigation, so as to anticipate the impact of climate change.

"Improving the environment by reforestation, preserving the mangrove forests and coral reefs, it is important to anticipate the impact of climate change," said Budi.

By implementing various strategies and programs to protect marine ecosystems are expected to anticipate the disaster that could happen.

"Efforts to rehabilitate and restore the carrying capacity of damaged marine resources with the active role of government and society is expected," he said.
