One of the example of Papua Altiports, high elevation, sloped, and one way in and out.
Depicted below is Beoga in Central Papua, Indonesia. Elevated at 5800 ft has a threshold that is located at 5600ft, giving it a 12% lateral slope runway.
KEY TAKE-HOME MESSAGES for us:
- OECMs is the WAY forward. Currently, there are NO recognized OECMs being established in Malaysia. This Community-based management holds critical KEY in expanding our marine protected areas (MPAs)
- Dr. Puri Canals highlighted the need to understand the migratory pattern and larvae dispersal pattern of various marine organisms, especially at the center of the Coral Triangle Region.
- Strategic partnership and the financial mechanism are important to finance more establishment of MPAs in this region.
* Kuantan Coastal Waters has the potential to be considered for OECMs
* Our coral larvae dispersal model DID CONFIRM the source-sink dynamic pattern between Pahang MPA and our nearshore reefs area.
It will be a long and bumpy road ahead. But we are willing to take our chances on this.
