Abstract

The implementation of the Measured Fishing Policy/Penangkapan Ikan Terukur (PIT) in the Riau Islands Province is a strategic step to manage fishery resources sustainably. The background of this study focuses on the challenges faced in the implementation of the PIT policy, including filling in logbooks by 10-30 GT fishing vessels, conflicts between traditional fishermen and industry players, and limited supporting infrastructure. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the PIT policy using the Van Meter and Van Horn theory, which refers to four main indicators: communication, resources, bureaucratic structure, and implementer disposition. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, with secondary data collection and triangulation analysis to increase validity and reliability. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the PIT policy in the Riau Islands still faces obstacles in the form of uneven communication, lack of skilled human resources, and inadequate infrastructure. The complex bureaucratic structure also hinders the efficiency of policy implementation. However, government efforts, such as policy socialization through training and the establishment of the Fisheries Management Institution (LPP) in WPPNRI 711, have begun to show positive impacts. In conclusion, the successful implementation of the PIT policy requires a holistic approach that includes strengthening human resources, infrastructure investment, bureaucratic reform, and inclusive communication strategies. Thus, this policy is expected to contribute to the sustainability of marine ecosystems and the welfare of coastal communities in the Riau Islands Province

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of local government in utilizing marine capture fisheries potential to increase regional revenue in Bintan Regency, Riau Islands Province. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach, the study illustrates the current conditions of marine and fisheries sector governance, while identifying institutional challenges and opportunities for trade system reform. The findings reveal that although capture fisheries production has steadily increased, its contribution to regional revenue remains significantly low. This is primarily due to suboptimal local governance, the absence of Fish Auction Centers (TPI), and the dominance of a closed distribution system controlled by middlemen (tauke), which weakens fishers’ bargaining power and eliminates potential local revenue from levies. The local government faces multiple structural challenges, including weak regulatory frameworks, lack of integrated production data, and the institutional disempowerment of fisher communities. Nevertheless, there are strategic opportunities that can be leveraged through the professional development and management of TPI. These centers can serve as critical instruments for ensuring price transparency, strengthening production records, increasing local revenue through levies, empowering fishers' cooperatives, and breaking the dependency on the tauke system. The study recommends the need for integrated, institution-based, and context-specific policies to support a sustainable and inclusive reform of the capture fisheries trade system in Bintan Regency.
