Abstract
Marine Spatial Planning for Designing Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping of Protected Areas in the Coral Triangle Region
Tropical marine and coral reef ecosystems serve as food sources, nurseries and breeding grounds for coral reefs, fishes and other marine lives. They also act as natural barrier to prevent shoreline erosion apart from protecting and maintaining the health of mangroves and seagrasses. Many countries benefitted on fisheries and marine tourism industry through an effective management of their Marine Protected Areas. However, marine and coastal resources globally are under significant threats where the stocks are depleting due to fast expanding population, economic growth and international trade. There is a great need to manage this Large Marine Eco-region (LME) as such, Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) has also emphasized and supported the initiative for capacity building in innovative explorations and development of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) in the Pacific Rim. Recently, extensive work has been conducted by various groups to provide the integrated mapping of the coastal and marine resources in the world’s highest marine biodiversity region under the Coral Triangle Initiative namely CTAtlas. Tun Mustapha Park (TMP) is one of the priority conservation areas located in the Sulu-Sulawesi Sea. Since 2003, Sabah State Government approved the initiative to gazette and zone the proposed 1.02 million hectares marine park for multiple uses, including conservation and fishing. The presentation shall highlight the application of MSP to design the zoning for Tun Mustapha Park and discuss the importance of a large-scale, multidisciplinary ocean exploration and data collection activities for resources inventory and mapping program.

Abstract
Monitoring the Dynamics of Coastal Sand Dunes in Parangtritis as a Conservation Effort of Scarce Landscape in Indonesia Sand dunes in Parangtritis are the only sand dune landform in Indonesia. The sand dunes are formed by the activity of Merapi volcano that continuously erupt pyroclastic material. The sand dunes are formed by marine power and strong wind, occurred in the southern coastal of Java toward the Indian Ocean. The 1974 aerial photograph shows the total 456 ha areas are covered by sand dunes. In the early 1990s the government held a coastal reforestation to prevent the movement of sand dunes so that the rice field areas are not covered. Coastal reforestation is more intensified in 2005 after the tsunami in Aceh. Today, the current area of undisturbed sand dune from vegetation or buildings is only 41 ha. The dynamics of sand dunes movement and extent change has occurred continuously, so it needs to be monitored. The presentation shall outline the geospatial application for monitoring the changes of sand dune area.

Abstract
Imperatives for New Perspectives in Ocean Governance in the Asia-Pacific Region for Global Seafood Security
Asia-Pacific region has emerged as an important focal point in world economy. Vastness of its marine resources and this region’s largest contribution to global seafood supply and poverty alleviation through fisheries and aquaculture suggests that the issues related to world food security cannot be adequately addressed without taking into consideration the marine ecosystem services. Fisheries exert a major impact on the oceans, especially the marine biodiversity, and mismanagement of this activity undermines the food production potential of the oceans. Growth of aquaculture is in response to setback in fisheries, but neither of these sectors alone can meet the market demand. Synergy between seafood production from the ocean and ocean-based aquaculture through methods that are compatible and complimentary is needed for sustainable seafood for the world market. Essential supplies for aquaculture are derived from oceans. Hatchery production and stock enhancement can contribute to restoration of depleted populations. Aquaculture lessens pressure on wild fish stocks and therefore contributes towards ecological stability of oceans and sustainable development goals. Such perceptions are reflected in international instruments such as Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) developed by Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. With a general acceptance of such approaches, there is a need to effectively align marine aquaculture through the new paradigm of Ecological Approach to Aquaculture Management (EAAM) and enhance the capacity of the institutions and communities to more effectively engage in ocean governance directed towards sustainable use of oceans. International support to ocean governance is evident from the priority given to the oceans in the Rio+20 outcome document ‘The Future We Want’. Thus, there is an international framework for regional initiatives for coordinated action for sustainable development.

Abstract
Real-Time Maritime Intelligence System
Maritime Intelligence is about empowering users in a port ecosystem with data and visual analytics toincrease the efficiency and effectiveness of maritimeoperations. In this context, discovery and visualizationof complex events (such as compliance violations) based on the analysis of trajectories generated by moving vessels could serve important navigational and business purposes. Finding patterns based on these complex events, however, is a non-trivial task, primarily due to the combinatorial nature of the problem. In this talk, we will demonstrate a real-time Maritime Intelligence system being developed by SAP Research and Innovation Centre at Singapore for the port ecosystems. This system models vessels' trajectories, applies complex event processing on the data streams to identify various events, performs analytics to derive useful insights into the recorded data, and helps visualizing the result of such geo-spatial analytics. This system is built using SAP HANA, an in-memory database and analytic platform with real-time data processing capabilities.

Abstract
Indonesian Coastal and Marine Environment Map
Since 1994, the Government of Indonesia has emphasized marine and coastal development as an independent sector in the national development strategy; sustainable utilization and development of marine and coastal resources is a key policy emphasis. In recognition of the need for improved databases and spatial plans for marine and coastal resources management, the Government has put much effort on a series of data collection, planning and capacity-building initiatives. BIG has produced Indonesian Costal map that contain both land and marine information of the coastal area. This map as the source of coastal area information will benefit for government, private sectors and scientist relating to coastal area development. Using this map, state/local government can manage its marine resources and coastal development planning. Marine and Coastal base mapping become realistic and useful viewing from coastal spatial data acquisitions and resources inventory. In this paper, it shall be briefly reviewed the Indonesian Information Geospatial, Marine and Coastal bas map and its benefits, and database and its distribution.
