<![CDATA[Pelantar Tanjungpinang Fisheries Port is the only fish landing site in Tanjungpinang City. It supports small-scale capture fisheries, but its multifunctional use for fisheries, cargo, and passenger activities has increased sanitation and water-quality pressures. This study aims to evaluate environmental management performance and formulate priority strategies for eco-fishing port development. Fieldwork was conducted in April 2025 using observations, laboratory water-quality analysis from three purposively selected sampling stations, questionnaires, and stakeholder interviews. We assessed environmental and operational performance using a 1–5 scoring system; calculated sub-index mean scores; measured gaps against ideal eco-fishing port criteria; and determined priority strategies using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The environmental sub-index was 2.38, and the operational sub-index was 2.50, producing an overall index of 2.44 out of 5.00 and placing the port in the low category. The most critical issue was biological contamination, with total coliform reaching 2,400 MPN/100 mL, exceeding the 1,000 MPN/100 mL threshold for port waters. The largest gaps occurred in water-quality monitoring and wastewater treatment, environmental documentation, environmental monitoring and enforcement, and hygienic fish handling. AHP prioritized water-quality management (17.2%), environmental documentation and management systems (15.4%), and monitoring and enforcement (11.4%). Environmental rehabilitation through wastewater treatment, sanitation improvement, routine monitoring, and institutional strengthening should precede physical expansion to support Pelantar's transition toward an eco-fishing port.]]>
