  1. COASTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE OF SULU-SULAWESI SEAS A RESEARCH PROPOSAL PRESENTED TO NOD FOR ‘EKSPEDISI PERDANA 09’

  2. TITLE COASTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE OF SULU-SULAWESI SEAS

  3. OBJECTIVES (5) • To evaluate the status of major marine resources (such as coral reefs, mangroves, seagrasses, algae [including plankton], marine mammals, reptiles and fishes) and selectively map their distribution in the Sulu-Sulawesi Seas.

  4. OBJECTIVES • To determine the physical and chemical properties of coastal water and sediment in the Sulu-Sulawesi Seas.

  5. OBJECTIVES 3. To determine the socio-economic importance of these resources.

  6. OBJECTIVES • To identify major threats to the coastal resources.

  7. OBJECTIVES • To evaluate the status of management and suggest methods for sustainable development of the coastal environment and resources.

  8. SCOPE OF RESEARCH • Biodiversity of coastal resources • Distribution of important resources • Physical and chemical properties of coastal water and sediment • Socio-economic importance • Threats (natural and human induced) • Suggestions for management

  9. RESEARCH APPROACH • Integrated, multi-disciplinary, multi-agency task team. • Mobilization and logistical supports from land-bases. • Identified coastline and study area will be divided into study zones. • Study Team shall move from one zone to the next after completion of the tasks identified.
