The Indonesian Seas Large Marine Ecosystem is a region shared by Indonesia (98 percent) and north coast of Timor-Leste (2 percent). Characterized by warm surface temperature and the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) that contributes to climate regulation, the region is a hub of mega biodiversity with unique habitats and ecosystems that offer high fisheries productivities and various other valuable ecosystem goods and services. The region has been instrumental to ensure nutrition, livelihood and coastal communities wellbeing. Valuable ecosystem goods and services that the region has to offer have been exploited by various resource users. The ecosystem services valuation carried out for the ISLME in 2020 estimated the total gross production value (GVP) at more than USD 20 billion annually, with the largest contributions from fisheries and aquaculture (the best-known use of marine ecosystem services) and marine tourism (approximately 10 percent). A 2018 PEMSEA report showed that the Indonesian seas support more than USD 180 billion of economic activities annually and can stimulate increased growth, jobs, food security, if actions are taken to protect the region sustainability in the long-term. However, growing fishing pressures, increasing human and economic activities, land conversion, among others, have posed as real threats to the region’s vital resources. Through the FAO/GEF-supported ISLME project, Indonesia and Timor-Leste formulated the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) in close collaboration with national scientific advisory groups (NSAGs), fisheries and marine experts and stakeholders. The TDA is an intensive, scientific document with emphasis on causal chain analysis (CCA), leading to the identification of the five Primary Environmental Concerns (PECs) to the region's sustainability. The five PECs are (i) declining productivity and sustainability of ISLME fishery and aquaculture, (ii) degradation and loss of marine habitats, (iii) marine and land-based pollution, (iv) decline of biodiversity and ˚key species, (v) climate change impacts. Developed in intensive consultation with fisheries and marine experts in both countries, the TDA also presents the experts recommendations, useful to inform policy and decision-making process. The TDA serves as the basis for the formulation of the Strategic Action Programme (SAP) that features clear initiatives, set targets, timeframe and organizations in-charge to achieve the targets for ISLME region sustainability.
