"Melestarikan Terumbu Karang" menjadi tema Let's go Green (Live on Metro TV 2 April 2008)

Tema acara Let's go Green pada hari Rabu, 2 April 2008 pukul 16.05 - 16. 30 WIB cukup lekat dengan aktivitas yang selama ini dilakukan oleh Program Rehabilitasi dan Pengelolaan Terumbu Karang (COREMAP II. ya... tema itu adalah "melestarikan terumbu karang". acara yang dipandu oleh Sdri. Chandra Dewi tersebut menghadirkan dua narasumber, yaitu: Bpk. M. Eko Rudianto (Project Manager COREMAP II) dan Bpk. Darmawan (Xnet).
Pembicaraan yang cukup hangat tersebut, mencatat beberapa point penting yang sempat penulis tangkap antara lain:
- Kondisi terumbu karang yang cukup buruk di Indonesia telah mengalami sedikit perbaikan ke arah yang lebih baik (terutama di wilayah Indonesia Bagian Barat)
- Dalam jangka panjang, program yang secara konsisten dijalankan mampu mengurangi ketergantungan masyarakat terhadap terumbu karang, memberikan peluang mata pencaharian alternatif, yang pada akhirnya mampu meningkatkan kesejahteraan masyarakat.
- kampanye dan/atau sosialisasi pengelolaan terumbu karang diarahkan kepada tiga level audience, yaitu (1) penentu kebijakan (berupa penguatan kapasitas, workshop, pedoman, audiensi dll); (2) masyarakat di lokasi program (pendampingan, pelatihan, pondok informasi, pembinaan kelompok, pengelolaan berbasis masyarakat); (3) masyarakat pada umumnya (media cetak, televisi, pameran, acara pemuda dan anak-anak, dll)
- kampanye dalam bentuk pameran seperti Deep Indonesia 2008(28-30 maret 2008) cukup efektif untuk mensosialisasikan program, demikian pula acara let's go green
- pameran Deep Indonesia jika dilihat dari antusiasme masyarakat dan stakeholder yang terlibat menunjukkan peningkatan yang cukup bagus dan diharapkan dapat menjadi ajang promosi pariwisata bahari. contohnya, kabupaten Raja ampat dan Wakatobi (keduanya merupakan lokasi coremap II) cukup aktif dalam promosi untuk menggalang investor pariwisata. Tidak kalah pentingnya pula bagi peserta pameran untuk meningkatkan potensi bisnis traveling, wisata bahari dan bawah airnya.
- kenapa lets go green.... ya, kerusakan terumbu karang pada gilirannya juga sangat dipengaruhi oleh aktivitas di daratan, seperti pencemaran, erosi dan sedimentasi akibat penggundulan hutan dan lain sebagainya. memang, cukup erat hubungan darat dan laut... lets go green... go blue
Tahun 2008 ini merupakan tahun terumbu karang internasional. pada akhir dialog, narasumber mengajak seluruh kalangan dan stakeholder terkait untuk bersama-sama mengkampanyekan pelestarian terumbu karang. Mari lestarikan terumbu karang " terumbu karang sehat, ikan berlimpah, masyarakat sejahtera"...
