此次为期五天的交流与考察活动，标志着闽海院中印尼MSP合作项目迈入了务实推进的关键阶段。通过实地踏勘与技术研讨，中印尼专家团队共同探索了新首都所在巴厘巴板湾海洋空间规划的创新方案。此次行程不仅深化了双方的理解互信，巩固了闽海院团队与印尼涉海单位、高校多年合作积淀的深厚友谊，更为项目下一阶段的精准实施奠定了坚实基础。正如双方代表所期许的，MSP项目探索的 “平衡生态保护与现代化发展”有效路径，不仅服务于新首都建设需求，也有望为印尼其他面临类似挑战的滨海新城开发与生态保护提供有益参考。未来，闽海院将继续与印尼合作伙伴携手，深化海洋可持续发展领域的互利共赢合作，取得更多务实成果。

From May 25 to 29, 2025, at the invitation of the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) of Indonesia, Professor Li Yangfan, Vice Dean of the Fujian Institute for Sustainable Oceans (FISO), Xiamen University, led a delegation of 7 to visit Indonesia. The purpose was to carry out field survey and technical workshop as part of the Joint Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) project for the Balikpapan Bay area (hereinafter referred to as the “MSP project”), where Indonesia’s new capital Nusantara is located. The visit aimed to better understand the current conditions of the study area, and to discuss the next steps of the MSP project. The delegation included MSP technical team members Research Fellow Luo Meixue, Director of the Fujian Provincial Key Laboratory of Coast and Island Management Technology Study, and Associate Research Fellow Weng Yubin, Deputy Director of the same laboratory.

The team first conducted a field survey in Balikpapan Bay, focusing on the key areas of sea-use conflict within the MSP project scope. Discussions were held with local officials and residents to gain an in-depth understanding of port construction, industrial and mining distribution, fisheries and fishing communities, tourism development, and ecological conservation, under the context of Indonesia’s new capital development. The team then visited the Balikpapan Mangrove Center, learning about the current status of mangrove conservation and restoration, as well as the region’s biodiversity advantages.

After the field survey, the team visited MMAF in Jakarta. Mrs. Kartika Listriana, Director General of the Directorate General of Marine Spatial Planning at MMAF, hosted the delegation. She said that the MSP project offers systematic MSP support for Indonesia’s new capital, representing a fruit of maritime cooperation under the Indonesia-China 'Five Pillars' initiative. She expressed hope that the project would serve as a foundation for further collaboration with FISO and Xiamen University. Professor Li Yangfan expressed his gratitude for MMAF’s invitation and highlighted that FISO would leverage China's experience in integrated coastal management and marine spatial planning, as well as the multidisciplinary strengths of Xiamen University, to support MSP planning and capacity-building for Balikpapan Bay. Dr. Abdi Tunggal Priyanto, Director of Marine Spatial Planning at MMAF, gave a brief summary of the project’s progress, followed by a productive exchange of ideas between both sides.

The team also attended the technical workshop of the MSP Project held at IPB University. The workshop focused on technical discussions and was chaired by Professor Luky Adrianto, Chairperson of the International Research Institute for Maritime, Ocean and Fisheries, IPB University. He expressed strong appreciation for China’s holistic approach to ecological protection “from the mountains to the sea” and the ecological conservation success stories of Xiamen City, which he believes offer valuable insights for Indonesia’s marine spatial planning. Professor Li Yangfan emphasized in his speech that the Chinese team is committed to supporting integrated land-sea development and sustainable development in the region through sharing of technologies, philosophies and experiences, and to collaborating on systematic MSP based on scientific assessment.

During the workshop, Ms. Deenisa, Head of Cooperation and Data for MMAF’s Directorate General of Marine Spatial Planning, presented on the project progress on their side. Research Fellow Luo Meixue then shared China’s experience with MSP. Doctoral candidates Zhang Zhuohang and Zhang Ziwei from the FISO team followed to present technical approaches and planning philosophies based on Balikpapan Bay’s conditions. The exchanges strengthened mutual understanding of planning philosophies and technical approaches. The workshop also mapped out plans for the next phase of work. In closing remarks, Mr. Suharyanto, Senior Advisor on Marine and Coastal Ecosystem for MMAF’s Directorate General of Marine Spatial Planning, said that China and Indonesia “are like sisters and brothers”, and frequent government interactions have taken place during recent years. Against this backdrop, the cooperation between MMAF and FISO is expected to grow ever closer. He expressed hope for expanded collaboration that promotes balanced modernization and environmental protection in Indonesia. Attendees of the workshop also included Dr. Abdi Tunggal Priyanto, Mr. Permana Yudiarso (Director of Shallow Waters and Small Islands Development, MMAF), Mr. Fajar Kurniawan (Director of Marine Space Development), and other technical experts from MMAF, IPB University, and Universitas Gadjah Mada.

This five-day exchange and field visit marks a critical stage of substantive advancement in the MSP project between FISO and MMAF. Through the field trip and technical exchanges, experts from both countries jointly explored innovative planning solutions for marine spatial planning in Balikpapan Bay. The trip not only deepened mutual understanding and trust, but also strengthened long-standing ties between the FISO team and Indonesia’s ocean-related agencies and universities. It laid a solid foundation for the detailed planning of the next project phase. As both parties have expressed, the MSP project’s efforts to balance ecological protection with urbanization are expected not only to meet the developmental needs of the new capital but also serve as a valuable reference for other Indonesian coastal cities facing similar challenges. Looking ahead, FISO will continue to work hand-in-hand with Indonesian partners to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation in the field of sustainable coastal development and to deliver more pragmatic outcomes.
