6 Capacity building

Throughout the life of the project, particular attention has been given to the dissemination of techniques and associated results of the project as well as to a solid capacity building (CB) component benefitting the end users. The CB component delivered a number of CB interventions at different stages of the project. So far the CB component has been centred mainly with technical personnel of RDIM and CARD.

Emphasis has been given to data collection and environmental monitoring, procedures for site selection and estimation of carrying capacity. From now on, the need for strengthening individuals and institutions to assume expanded responsibilities in the field of marine finfish aquaculture points out: a) the creation of a tailor-made CB model designed for Indonesia’s aquaculture priorities; and b) strengthening the capacity of aquaculture operators and other stakeholders particularly at the local level.
