Just a short post to inform you all that Indonesia (the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries) has released its National Plan of Action for the Conservation of Cetaceans. The document is still in Indonesian language. I have the English version of the earlier draft (because I was one of the authors), but we will need time (and funding, I suppose) to translate it into English. Based on the 2002-2010 Conservation Action Plan for the World's Cetaceans (Reeves et al 2003), the document contains strategies to address unsustainable anthropogenic activities (bycatch, blast fishing, direct catch, tourism in the wild, captivity, marine debris, vessel strikes, and competition with fisheries) and disturbance to cetacean habitats (coastal and riverine development, commercial and military sonar, chemical pollution, biotoxin and climate change). The national marine mammal stranding network is also mentioned as one of the action plans. Click here for the document in Indonesian language. (terjemahan bahasa Indonesia di bawah break)

Dokumen ini dibuat berdasarkan 2002-2010 Conservation Action Plan for the World's Cetaceans (Reeves et al 2003) dan memuat rencana strategis untuk menangani masalah-masalah yang timbul dari kegiatan manusia yang tidak lestari (tangkapan samping, pemboman ikan, tangkapan langsung, wisata di alam liar, peragaan lumba-lumba, sampah laut, tabrakan kapal, dan kompetisi dengan perikanan) serta kerusakan dan hilangnya habitat (pembangunan pesisir dan sungai, gangguan dari operasi industri dan militer, polusi kimia, biotoksin, dan perubahan iklim). Jejaring penanganan mamalia laut terdampar di Indonesia juga disebutkan di dalam dokumen ini sebagai salah satu program aksi. Klik di sini untuk dokumennya.
