INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INDONESIAN INLAND WATERS II

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: CALL FOR PAPER

Theme: Impacts of Global Climate Change to the Indonesian Inland Water Resources and Fisheries

BACKGROUND
The Research Center for Capture Fisheries (RCCF) that belongs to the Agency for Marine and Fisheries Research (AMFR) under the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Republic Indonesia (MMAF-RI), has seriously considered the importance of inland waters for the people and the strategic contribution of related sciences for proper management of Indonesian inland waters. Since 2004 the Research Institute for Inland Fisheries (RIIF) of RCCF, convenes annually the Indonesian Forum on Inland Waters (IFIW), where the fifth Forum was conducted internationally in 2008. These six consecutive forums had discussed various aspects of science related to management of capture fisheries that exist in various inland waters ecosystems in Indonesia. In the 2008 forum, it is recommended that the International conference on Inland Waters will be held bi-annually.
Indonesia has more than 54 million hectares of inland waters that consists of lakes and reservoirs, rivers and its floodplain, various type of swamps and other type of surface waters. Inland waters in Indonesia since the time unrecorded in history have served as the source livelihood to people that live in its surroundings. In accordance with the development of civilization, inland waters currently are providing many social and economy needs required for the sustainability of the society such as aesthetic, cultural, educational, recreational, economic opportunities and also guaranteed environmental, individual, collective and emotional securities. Nevertheless, inland waters also impart individual freedom and variety, and last but not least also spiritual dimension. Imbalanced emphasized on the economic functions of inland waters has led to of unsustainable society indicated by many environmental disaster, such as prolonged drought and flood, over fishing, waters pollution and health problems.
Significant impacts of global climate change to inland water systems include the disruption of natural pattern of water level fluctuation that triggered many related ecological phenomena such as unnatural biogeochemical cycle, life cycle of aquatic organisms and related human activities related to fisheries. It is also indicated that in the long run the impact of global climate change also influenced the sustainability of Indonesian inland water biodiversity. In order to maintain their welfare human being has to adapt to this global change in terms fishing and aquaculture technology, fishery product processing and marketing and resources management and conservation. Many research activities have to be conducted to provide the foundation for scientific management of Indonesian Inland Waters. Beside Indonesian researchers doing research related to these Indonesian inland waters, there are also other researchers from other country such as Germany, England, Canada, Japan, France, Sweden, Malaysia, Brunei and Australia. Some international organization such as Food Agricultural Organization of the United Nation (FAO of The UN), Japan Society for Promotion of Science (JSPS), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), International Development Research Center (IDRC) of Canada, Australia Centre for International Agriculture Research (ACIAR) and other also has conducted some research activities related to inland water. Therefore, the 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INDONESIAN INLAND WATERS II: Impacts of Global Climate Change to the Indonesian Inland Water Resources and Fisheries will be held on 29-30th November 2010 in Palembang, South Sumatra Province, Indonesia.

FORUM PERAIRAN UMUM INDONESIA VI

Sumber daya perairan umum daratan merupakan suatu sumber daya alam yang bersifat dapat pulih (renewable), akses yang terbuka (open access) dan milik umum (common property). Sifat-sifat tersebut membuka peluang terjadinya eksploitasi berlebih sehingga sumber daya alam tersebut harus dikelola secara rasional agar asset nasional tersebut menjadi lestari. Di lain pihak, pengelolaan tersebut harus dilakukan secara bijak mengingat sumber daya alam tersebut merupakan kekayaan nasional yang bersifat terbuka pemanfaatannya bagi peningkatan kesejahteraan anak bangsa.

Forum Perairan Umum Indonesia VI, yang merupakan kelanjutan dari Forum Perairan Umum Indonesia I hingga V, diharapkan dapat mewujudkan suatu kesepakatan dan visi pembangunan perairan umum daratan yang sama di antara para pemangku kepentingan (stake-holder), sehingga seluruh pembangunan perairan umum dapat dilaksanakan secara terpadu dan ditujukan untuk kelestarian sumber daya bagi kesejahtreraan anak bangsa. Kelestarian dalam hal ini dapat diartikan sebagai suatu keseimbangan ekologis, kesehatan lingkungan, keuntungan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan sosial. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut diperlukan kemauan yang keras dari setiap sektor pemanfaat akan kepedulian dan pentingnya pembangunan yang berasaskan kelestarian.

Dalam kaitan itu, kolaborasi, kordinasi dan komunikasi yang intensif antara pemangku kepentingan dalam perencanaan, pelaksanaan dan monitoring serta evaluasi pembangunan perairan umum daratan perlu dilakukan. Forum VI ini dapat dijadikan sebagai media tahunan untuk mewadahi keperluan tersebut dan sekaligus sebagai penguatan jejaring kerja (net working) di antara pemangku kepentingan untuk mendukung hal tersebut. Dengan demikian maka pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan sumber daya perairan umum dapat dilaksanakan secara lestari untuk digunakan sebesar-besarnya bagi peningkatan kesejahteraan anak bangsa.

Tujuan dari forum ini adalah :
1. Mengevaluasi status pemanfaatan sumber daya perairan umum daratan dalam kaitannya dengan pengelolaan sumber daya secara lestari.
2. Menganalisis peran IPTEK dalam mendasari pengelolaan dan pemanfaatan sumber daya perairan umum secara lestari.
3. Mewadahi pertukaran informasi dan pengetahuan diantara para pemangku kepentingan dalam kaitan pengelolaan sumber daya secara berkelanjutan.
4. Meningkatkan jejaring kerja diantara para pemangku kepentingan pembangunan perairan umum daratan.
