A good example is the Coastal Award 2012 won by the Belitung Coastal Community Group (BCCG) on October 22 for the community group category to honor their tremendous efforts in developing Kepayang Island as a conservation site through ecotourism.

The Coastal Award is a biennial award presented by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in Indonesia in collaboration with the Association of Indonesian Coastal Experts (HAPPI). The award is part of the National Conference (Konas) on Coastal, Sea, and Small Islands Management, which has been held since 1998 and aims to acknowledge the efforts and contributions by local governments, community groups, journalists, the private sector and the academia, as well as the Forum Mitra Bahari (a forum of related stakeholders) in achieving sustainable and integrated management of coastal areas, sea, and small islands.
