Buru is a regency in Maluku Province that became the initial implementation of all MDPI’s works, including data collection, community organization, and certification programs. Our working area spans 10 villages, 9 landing sites, and 14 fisher associations, directly supporting 250+ fishers. Since the beginning of fishery management activities in 2013, we have successfully catalyzed 139 Buru fishers, 6 suppliers, 3 processors, and more than 100 community members alike. Buru is the first MDPI working site that got the US Fair Trade certification and Marine Steward Council (MSC) certification in May 2020. The whole suite of MDPI’s fisheries and programmatic interventions are conducted in Buru, where MDPI has gained a local reputation as a trusted partner.
