<![CDATA[The implementation of the Measured Fishing Policy (PIT) in East Bintan District faces fishing-zone restrictions that directly affect fishermen’s operational range and access to fishing grounds. Administrative and financial obligations have also altered fishermen’s socio-economic conditions. This study aims to evaluate the socio-economic impacts of the PIT policy on directly affected fishermen. A qualitative method with a case study design was employed using interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data were analyzed using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model developed by Stufflebeam and Coryn (2014). The findings indicate that the policy is contextually relevant to sustainable fisheries management but insufficiently aligned with fishermen’s socio-economic conditions. Input evaluation reveals limited infrastructure, inadequate dissemination, and weak technical support, while process evaluation indicates incomplete quota implementation and persistent fishing conflicts. Product evaluation identifies increased operational costs, reduced net income associated with the 5% post-production Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) levy, and VMS installation costs. The study concludes that PIT implementation remains ineffective and requires stronger economic protection, infrastructure, and administrative simplification.]]>
