The project will run from March 2016 through March 2021.

The‘State of the Sea’ (SOTS) is a publication, that will ‘tell the story’ of theWPP-715 area in an accessible and reader-friendly way, setting it in thecontext of wider marine and fisheries management in Indonesia. It will bringtogether all existing secondary data and primary data emerging from the variousfield-based research initiatives taking place under the USAID SEA Project andwill be made available in both English language and Bahasa Indonesian.  The SOTSis intended for a wide readership, including marine and coastal management andfisheries practitioners (nationally and internationally) as well as governmentagencies, donors, and associated marine-related organizations. It will bepresented in three volumes:
VOLUME I– introduces the reader to the marine and coastal environment of Indonesia, itsbiodiversity, use values, and the threats being faced. It provides an overviewof the governance and institutional frameworks for marine and coastalmanagement, and the various management actions being implemented across thecountry.
VOLUME II– focuses on eastern Indonesia, particularly fisheries management area number715. It provides a more detailed technical introduction to the range ofmanagement efforts being implemented across the region.  VOLUMEIII – takes the reader on a journey through fisheries management area number715. Here the reader discovers the people, the places, and the hands-on impactsof the work being implemented.
Thesevolumes are also intended to be launched at the 2018 Our Ocean Conference inBali in October 2018.
