Activity Report Penyengat Island Festival (Festival Pulau Penyengat) 2018 Background Penyengat Island (Pulau Penyengat) is a historical place which had held the most important role in Malay imperium, before the sultanate of Johor, Pahang, Siak, and Lingga existed. This role was held for 120 years from 1722, when the empire of Riau existed, to 1911, when The Netherlands took over the empire. This small island has become a pride for the people of Riau Archipelago (Kepulauan Riau) due to the richness of its historical sites from the empire of Riau heritage. In the era of Sultan Mahmud Syah II (1756 - 1811), the King of Johor-Pahang-Riau-Lingga, Pulau Penyengat was used as a dowry for Engku Putri Raja Hamidah (1764 – 1844) when they were married in 1804 in Riau. Penyengat Island Festival (Festival Pulau Penyengat/FPP) may be considered as a reflection point to recall the culture of Malay and the greatness of its empire. This festival will attract many domestic and international tourists; raise public awareness of Malay culture and tourism, improve marine-based industry, and increase the number of both domestic and international tourists in Pulau Penyengat. FPP 2018 will brought up “Gurindam 12”, a popular literature work written in ancient Riau Malay language, as the theme for this festival. Several kinds of activity and competition will be held, for instance: painting competition, boat racing, canoeing, rowing, traditional swimming, pillow fighting, and kite flying competition. Other activities, such as photography contest, short film, culinary festival, Malay fashion show, and local folklore will also be held in this festival. Pulau Penyengat can be reached in 15 minutes from Tanjungpinang city (Kota Tanjungpinang) using pompong boat. Since 2010, Dugong has officially been stated by the regent of Bintan in decree No. 267/VI/2010 as the icon of Bintan, following gonggong, which has previously been stated as one of this islands’ identity. Bintan Islands has attracted Dugongs by its waters characteristics, which naturally provides seagrass as Dugongs’ source of food. LIPI’s research in 2010 shows that from 13 seagrass species in Indonesia, 11 species are available in Bintan. This information has become an important value that needs to be known and preserved by the people of Kepulauan Riau as a natural resource asset. Hence, by the development of tourism in Pulau Penyengat, which belongs to the cluster of Bintan Islands, it is important to hold a socialization regarding to the dugong and seagrass as natural resource assets. This activity can increase public’s knowledge and concern to maintain the sustainability of dugong, seagrass, and the nature, in the midst of tourism expansion era. Socialization of dugong and seagrass conservation in Bintan at FPP 2018 is one of our efforts to raise the concern and awareness of local people and tourists in Bintan. International tourists can become figures who share this issue in their country. This activity is also important for implementing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Bintan. Support from Dugong and Seagrass Conservation Project Indonesia (DSCP-ID), which has a site in Bintan, is needed to make this event run smoothly. 1 Objectives The aim of socializing the conservation status and the existence of dugong and seagrass in Bintan in FPP 2018 is to elucidate the participants about DSCP Indonesia’s profile and the latest information towards the condition of dugong – seagrass in Bintan through the booth facility.
