Location Description

Iorder to determine the best location for freshwater eel stocking, IFish asked Marine and Fisheries Office (MFO) in Sukabumi District to provide potential rivers that might be suitable for eel releasement. These rivers were assessed later by experts based on environmental condition, socialeconomic, and risk assessment analysis.
Based on MFO recommendation, there are 5 rivers that were proposed: 
Cimandiri, Cileutuh, Cikarang, Cikaso, and Cibuni. However, after discussion with experts and MFO, Cibuni was agreed to be excluded. Since Cibuni acts as administrative border, difficulties may arise due to ambiguity in its managerial status between two districts.

potential location from 4 rivers that have been assessed
