Conservation effort of sea turtles faces several challenges, e.g. habitat destruction, eggs and turtle meat consumptions, or production of souvenirs (e.g. turtle bodies). In their duties, conservation officers may find sea turtles in different condition (e.g. body fragments, eggs, pieces of meat, etc.), usually it is difficult to identify due to incomplete morphology. Therefore, the use of DNA barcoding becomes an alternative for for identification at species level, contribute taxonomic and biodiversity research. This study was conducted to develop a protocol suitable for identifying sea turtles from different tissue samples conditions using DNA barcoding. A total of 16 tissue samples in different condition (fresh, dead-body, smoked-meat) were collected. A protocol was developed to enable identification of tissue samples of different quality or condition. A 719 bp control region fragment was analyzed. The high percentage similarity was confirmed in GenBank CO1 sequence with 99%-100%. Four sea turtle species were identified among the samples, i.e. Chelonia mydas (4 samples), Lepidochelys olivacea (9 samples), Eretmochelys imbricata (2 samples) and Dermochelys coriacea (1 samples). This study was successfully amplified by using DNA target of control region and therefore, will be beneficial for conservation management of sea turtles in Indonesia.

The need of Small Island Park (SIP) management at Kei Kecil Islands and improvement of fisheries management, stems from the question of whether conservation can improve fisheries management. Doubts of the benefits of conservation areas in addressing fisheries management issues, as well as poor planning, monitoring and evaluation, have the potential to create disincentives and low expectations of management. This study aims are to assess the effectiveness of SIP management, fisheries management status, and formulate an integrated model of improved management of conservation areas and fisheries. The effectiveness of conservation area management was in the red rank. For two years, these developments were relatively slow. The status of fisheries management in the medium category. The Kobe Plot analysis recommended to management by maintaining the existing strategy. Scenario to improve management through the determination of 80% of indicators are in good condition, the opportunity to achieve well management within 3 - 4 years. Based on integration model, multi-level assessment of effectiveness had a weakness in answering its relationship with fisheries management. The strength of the integration model in the grouping of management objectives according to sustainable management system, including: ecological protection, social strengthening and dynamic and accommodative governance system.

Tual City is the one of eleven districts / cities in Maluku Province. The city includes an archipelago town, has 66 islands divided into 3 island clusters, covering the cluster of Kur islands, Tayando Tam and Dullah. The sea area reaches 19,088 Km2, while the land area is 254.39 km2. The size of the sea in this area indicates the high utilization potential of both fisheries and tourism sector. Based on these, needed resources management the coastal and marine resources effectively, one of them by developing conservation area in coastal area and small islands. Tual City took the initiative to allocate part of its area to be reserved as a marine conservation area. The target of the formation of urban water conservation area Tual is the protection of important marine habitats consisting of coral reefs, seagrass and mangrove, sea turtle nesting beaches and connectivity larvae. This study was conducted to obtain potential locations of marine conservation areas that have high conservation value. Analysis of spatial data using Marxan analysis. This analysis was chosen because it provides the best solution for determining locations that have high conservation value. The results of the study indicate that the area of selected high frequency locations is 125,000 hectares, while 40,000 hectares and 64,000 hectares low. Selected high-frequency locations are in the cluster of Kur islands, Tayando Tam and in the waters north of Mas Island and Bair. Based on this study, the cluster of Kur and Tayando Tam islands become the recommended sites requiring the management of marine conservation areas as they are representative of all conservation targets.
