\nDuring the meeting, both parties discussed the planned implementation of SPEECTRA on land prepared by PT PAR as a conservation area in the High Conservation Value (HCV) area of Tanjung Sari Village, Ogan Komering Ilir, Indonesia. The discussion focused on the preliminary steps required to support the development of the program in a systematic and measurable manner.
\nSeveral initial work plans were highlighted, including the site identification process using EAFM tools and the development of an OECM approach as part of efforts to promote effective and sustainable conservation area management. The discussion was conducted in a constructive and open atmosphere, allowing both sides to exchange views on the potential for collaboration, implementation stages, and opportunities to further strengthen the program.
\nIn addition, PT PAR expressed its positive support for the possible involvement of university students in the program. Such involvement is expected to provide mutual benefits by strengthening field-level implementation while also creating practical learning opportunities for young people in the field of inland fisheries conservation and management.
