DESCRIPTION:

This publication summarizes the results of one of the workshops held during the East Asian Seas Congress 2009 on Indigenous Approaches to Habitat Protection and Restoration: Experiences in Sato-umi and other Community Initiatives. The workshop aimed to: (1) share information on community-based innovative approaches and good practices on habitat prevention, restoration and management initiatives applying low-cost technologies; (2) identify and distill lessons from specific case studies; and (3) examine how such local community initiatives can be further developed, packaged and extended within and across jurisdictional boundaries. The workshop focused on introducing case studies on indigenous knowledge and innovative low-cost technology with respect to the protection, restoration and management of key habitats and on analyzing sato-umi and sato-yama as a community-driven working model for integrated management from mountain to sea.
