Abstract

The study was carried out descriptively, data collection with questionnaire, followed by observation and in-depth interviews with the head of Department of Marine and Fisheries, head of Environmental Services Department, head of District/City and Province Department of Culture and Tourism and the head of MPA which managed by the community in Sumatera Utara.The results of the study indicated that the Sumatera Utara Provincial Government was not ready to accept the transfer of conservation management authority from districts / cities in Sumatera Utara. MPA that has been determined were; (1) MPA Sawo-Lahewa in Nias Utara District in 2017 and (2) Limited Protected Area of Toli Shad in LabuhanBatu from 2016 to 2018 have not been managed. Thus, the 3 MPAs in Tapanuli Tengah, Nias Selatan and SerdangBedagai which were previously managed by the District Government have not been managed by the Sumatra Utara Provincial Government and are still in the backup stage. The MPA proposal currently being carried out by Madina District Government, Batubara District Gov. and Sibolga City Gov. as well as the proposal of Batak Fish (Neolissochilussumatranus) Limited Protection Area, Dara Shellfish in Asahan District and Turtle and Sea Cucumber in Asahan District had not been followed up by the Provincial Government. Similar to the data collection, coaching and mentoring of private MPAs managed by the community had not been well implemented by the Provincial Government.
