The team realized that in this training, there are still many shortcomings experienced both in terms of time, participants' understanding and also the equipment used. The team hopes that the future will always be held such training in order to increase the ability of POKMASWAS in Muanseli Village about the technique of seagrass monitoring in a participatory way With modesty, the team of authors hoping a constructive criticism, suggestions and inputs for subsequent training activities.

Background Water Conservation Area is an area that is managed by zonation system to maintain a balance between the use of marine areas with the protection of marine resources contained in the area, with the main objective is the welfare of communities that exist within the region and outside the region. Based on Permen KP No. 47 year 2016 on Utilization of Water Conservation Area, there are 4 types of utilization that can be done in conservation area that is: Fishing, fish cultivation, marine nature tourism, and research and education. Aquatic Conservation Area Nature Preserve of Pantar Strait Water Area of Alor Regency has been determined by the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries on 16 June 2015 through the Decree of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries no. 35 year 2015. With an area of 276,693.38 hectares. The objectives of this SAP establishment are the management and protection of coral reef ecosystems, seagrass beds, mangroves, sustainable fisheries, and protected biota such as turtles, sharks and manta rays, as well as marine mammals including whales, dolphins and dugongs. SAP Pantar Strait is one of the conservation areas that was blessed with the existence of Dugong. Duyung or in English is often referred to as Dugong / Sea cow and in Latin called Dugong dugon is a type of marine mammal-eating plants (herbivore), that is seagrass plants. Dugong is an endangered marine biota and is protected by law in Indonesia under Government Regulation No. 7 of 1999. Internationally the status of dugong has been included in the World Red List by the International Union on Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as a "vulnerable animal against extinction ". Not only that, dugong is also included in Appendix I by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Dugong's vulnerability is triggered by the level of dugong hunting for meat, bones and fangs, incident that dugong caught accidentally by fishermen (bycatch), degradation of habitat / destruction of dugong habitat (seagrass beds) and threat of uncontrolled dugong tourism / mass tourism / dugong tourism which is unmanageable. The low level of community understanding of dugong protection and the lack of national policy derivation on Dugong protection at the local level has been a major challenge in the management of Dugong in the SAP Straits of Alor District. 1 | P a g e In the Dugong and Seagrass Conservation Project (DSCP) conservation program conducted in Alor Regency, coastal communities are one of the foremost aspects that are encouraged to protect their coastal areas. DSCP through WWF-Indonesia with the Marine and Fisheries Agency of NTT Province, and the Marine and Fisheries of Alor Regency to strengthen Pokmaswas institutions and encourage the participation of villages and conservation community groups, seaweed farming and tourism groups to support the efforts. Several village-based community surveillance groups (POKMASWAS) have participated in conservation efforts such as Nature Loving POKMASWAS Pante Deere Village, Pokmaswas Sinar Kabola Kabola district and Pokmaswas Tanjung Muna Munaseli village. In view of Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 Year 2014 concerning Amendment to Law Number 27 Year 2007 on the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands (WP3K) and Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 45 Year 2009 on Amendment to Law Number 31 Year In 2004 on Fisheries, in an effort to improve governance aspects in the management of WP3K especially in the area of MPA SAP Pantar Strait and sustainable fisheries management it is necessary to improve the aspects of law enforcement and control on these two aspects. With the effective patrol system, supervision and law enforcement, it is expected that fisheries management and WP3K especially Aquatic Conservation Area can be done and can improve the welfare of coastal communities especially those in KKPD and surrounding areas. Patrol, Supervision, and law enforcement in WP3K as well as in fishery area is mandate given by Law to government in managing fishery and WP3K. In such efforts, participation, support and community involvement are very important. Based on PerMenKP no KEP. 58 / MEN / 2001 Concerning Procedures for Implementing Community Oversight System in Management and Utilization of Marine and Fishery Resources states that the Community Based Surveillance System (SISWASMAS) is a supervisory system involving the active role of the community in supervising and controlling the management and utilization of marine and fishery resources responsibly, in order to obtain benefits in a sustainable manner. The sustainable benefit is the utilization of fishery and marine resources in its management does not do the destruction or extinction of aquatic biota and pay attention to the existing ecosystems in marine waters. The Community Surveillance Group (POKMASWAS) is formed by a community initiative coordinated by a member
