The Integrated Network-based Management for SEA coastal zone (InMSEA) is an international collaborative consortium among Japan, Philippines, UK, Malaysia and Indonesia under the 'Science, Technology and Action' Nexus for Development (STAND) Program supported jointly by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) in the Philippines, and the United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI).
Aims of InMSEA
Aims of InMSEA
Develop new coastal zone management methodologies based on integrated multi-scale networks in Southeast Asia based on the Core-and-Network System (CNS), a nationwide monitoring network having core/sub-core institutes and has been developed for the Philippines (in the name of ‘BCnet’), and Indonesia in the ongoing BlueCARES project, (https://www.bluecaresproject.upd.edu.ph/home).
Establish the foundation for a ‘Core-and-Network System’ (CNS) Malaysia, linking institutions, agencies and citizen scientists across CNS in the Philippines and Indonesia together with BlueCARES project to enable informed and adaptive management of blue carbon ecosystems and surrounding systems (coral reefs, adjacent land areas, etc.) including environmental conditions, socio-economic factors, temporal changes and episodic events, which all needs periodical monitoring and feedback for updating policies/plans.
Expand the scope of the Blue Carbon Strategy being developed by BlueCARES to provide a guideline framework for the management and rehabilitation of the coast as an integrated socio-ecological system

Introduce the ‘Green and Blue carbon ecosystem linkage framework (G-B Link)’ at selected CNS sites as a holistic and effective approach for extensively conserving and rehabilitating the integrated watershed and coastal zones.

What is CNS?
What is CNS?
CNS is a core and network system that aims to link institutions, agencies and citizen scientists to collaborate in the Philippines.
The CNS, developed by the BlueCARES Project, has Project Management Offices (PMOs) in each cluster of Luzon (referred to as BCnet Luzon), Visayas (BCnet Visayas) and Mindanao (BCnet Mindanao). It is multi-scale because PMOs coordinate with different groups in their respective clusters.

The InMSEA project proposes to take the Philippines CNS to the next level and carry it over to Indonesia and Malaysia. The three countries’ networks will be the core for further development of a Southeast Asia (SEA) regional network for the SEA coastal zone.
A multi-country endeavour
The Japan team will propose integrated coastal ecosystem management methodologies based on the innovative methods for coastal ecosystem surveys and modelling, which have been developed in an ongoing project on blue carbon under the SATREPS Program.
The UK team will provide technical support for survey planning and data analysis in a new watershed and coastal zone coupling framework based on the field surveys on green carbon ecosystem dynamics conducted in the Newton Fund project.
The Malaysia team will make a strategic plan for developing a nationwide network.
The Philippine and Indonesia teams will enhance the nationwide network development in each country and support for introducing and developing a nationwide network in Malaysia.
This project will try to combine the ecosystem survey methodologies on blue carbon which have been developed by the SATREPS project and those on green carbon developed by the NEWTON fund project, for providing comprehensive knowledge on the green-blue linked ecosystems.
