Konservasi Laut is a community-based marine conservation effort initiated by government, NGOs, diver associations and local communities aims to encourage divers, coastal villagers and islander, students, community leaders within East Java, Bali, West Nusa Tenggara and East Nusa Tenggara (knowns as Lesser Sunda Seascape) to do simple marine conservation effort and reduce ocean trash with plastic.
We are committed to STOP littering the ocean. Several actions already done including
- regularly underwater clean up,
- mangrove and coral reef plantation,
- marine species restocking such as giant clams, reefs, and
- dissemination to students (schools), fishermen, coastal about reducing littering plastic to the ocean,
- dissemination on marine species conservation including marine species CITES listed,
- conduct trainings on marine mammals stranding, and
- assisting community-based sea-turtle conservation groups to gather data, maintain the sea-turtle nesting sites and disseminate the important of sea-turtles.
- monitoring and developing regional field guideline on coral bleaching monitoring and its network
Progress reports

Type of commitment
NUTRIENTS
PLASTICS
SHIPPING
- Reduce invasive aquatic species introduction
By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
Type of commitment
- Community or Locally Managed Marine Areas
- Integrated Coastal Management
- Marine Spatial Planning
- Ecosystem-based Adaptation
By 2020, effectively regulate harvesting and end overfishing, illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing and destructive fishing practices and implement science-based management plans, in order to restore fish stocks in the shortest time feasible, at least to levels that can produce maximum sustainable yield as determined by their biological characteristics
Type of commitment
- Reduction and elimination fishing practices and gear that destroy/degrade marine habitat
- Science-based fisheries management plans
- Reduction of fisheries by-catch and product waste/losses
- Eco-labelling, traceability, certification programmes
By 2020, conserve at least 10 per cent of coastal and marine areas, consistent with national and international law and based on the best available scientific information
Type of commitment
- Multiple use marine protected area
- Locally or community managed marine areas
- MPA management and/or enforcement
By 2030, increase the economic benefits to Small Island developing States and least developed countries from the sustainable use of marine resources, including through sustainable management of fisheries, aquaculture and tourism
Type of commitment
- Economic benefits from sustainable tourism
Increase scientific knowledge, develop research capacity and transfer marine technology, taking into account the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission Criteria and Guidelines on the Transfer of Marine Technology, in order to improve ocean health and to enhance the contribution of marine biodiversity to the development of developing countries, in particular small island developing States and least developed countries
Type of commitment
- Scientific, socioeconomic and interdisciplinary research
- Data access and sharing
