Abstract

Climate change has introduced new challenges for fishers, particularly through shifting weather patterns and changing ocean conditions that directly affect fishing activities. This study analyzes the differences in adaptive capacity between younger and older fishermen, as well as the role of intergenerational collaboration in shaping adaptation strategies. Age remains a subject of debate regarding its influence on technology adoption. This study used a simple random sampling method to select the fishermen samples in Banyusangkah Village and Pasongsongan Village. The sample size was determined using the Slovin formula, resulting in a sample of 217 respondents. Data analysis was conducted using an independent t-test with the Stata 14 software to compare the adaptive capacity of younger and older fishermen to climate change. The analysis showed significant differences in adaptive capacity between the two groups. Older fishers rely more on experiential knowledge in dealing with changes in weather and sea conditions, while younger fishers tend to be more adaptive in using new technology and modern methods.

Abstract

Grouper is one of the fishery resources that has high economic value. The high price has led to increased exploitation of the grouper out of 163 grouper species worldwide. According to the IUCN, 12% (20 species) are classified as endangered, while 13% (22 species) are categorized as near threatened under the IUCN Red List criteria. This study aims to see the extent of the economic potential of grouper in Kolaka Regency and identify its distribution area. Analysis was done descriptively based on the results of field observations. The results of this research show that the potential of grouper fisheries in Kolaka Regency is quite large. However, the catch per unit of effort (CPUE) of grouper fluctuates every year. A significant increase occurred in 2014, then decreased in 2016, and increased again the following year; in 2017, there was a decrease in 2019, and increased again in 2020 and 2021. This research concludes that grouper fishing occurs more in the waters of Kolaka Regency due to the high fishing activities carried out by local fishermen. Based on these data, management efforts must be carried out immediately to maintain the stock of grouper resources in Kolaka Regency.

Abstract

The implementation of potential and carrying capacity-based area management is expected to minimize damage to coastal ecosystems so that environmental quality is maintained and visitors can enjoy an optimal tourism experience. Integration between the analysis of suitability and carrying capacity of the area is very important to formulate a sustainable marine ecotourism management strategy. This study analyzes the land suitability and carrying capacity of resource-based marine ecotourism areas on small islands to support sustainable tourism development. The methods used include literature studies, field observations, and in situ measurements of biophysical parameters. Analysis of suitability and carrying capacity is used to determine marine ecotourism in the categories of beach tourism, snorkeling, and diving. The study found that the waters of GITANADA Sekotong, West Lombok, are suitable to very suitable for marine ecotourism development, including beach recreation, snorkeling, and diving, based on the area’s carrying capacity. The carrying capacities for these activities are 295, 155, and 506 persons/day, respectively, with a total capacity of 956 visitors per day within an eight-hour operational period. These findings imply that implementing a visitor quota system and regular monitoring of ecological conditions are essential to ensure the long-term sustainability of marine ecotourism in the GITANADA area.

Abstract

This study examines two critical challenges in the management of blue carbon ecosystems through marine ecotourism in small island contexts: a lack of educational value and limited economic impact. We developed an integrated digital citizen science framework for Bawean Island, one of the most important blue carbon ecosystems in East Java. Daun Village in Bawean has a coastal area with 78.8 hectares of mangrove ecosystem (22 species), seagrass (7 species), and various protected marine species, including hawksbill sea turtle and dugong. FGD were designed to assess six variables: (1) current state of ecotourism, (2) local ecological knowledge and scientific understanding, (3) perceptions of educational needs, (4) preferences for ecotourism development models, (5) technology comfort levels, and (6) potential market targeting. Results are then used to design a system that aligns with local capacity, while also generating valuable information. Analysis of community perceptions shows uniformly underperformed existing attractions (1.35±0.49), low educational content (1.50±0.51), and economic impact (1.70±0.66), despite strong conservation activities (4.25±0.55). The technology comfort level shows moderate values, which results in a web-based technical system architecture using Google services. These findings indicate that Bawean Island has potential for integrating ecotourism with citizen science.

Abstract

This study analyzes the factors influencing whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) production and the efficiency of input utilization in pond farming in Bantan District, Bengkalis Regency, Riau Province. Data was collected from 40 farmers through a census approach. Data was analyzed through multiple linear regression based on the Cobb–Douglas production function, supplemented by classical assumption tests, allocative efficiency measurements, and return to scale analysis. The results indicate that key production factors include pond area, stocking density, feed quantity, pond age, and water quality. Among these, feed quantity was found to be significant (p < 0.05) and the dominant factor, with an elasticity coefficient of 0.990. The coefficient of determination (R²= of 0.989) indicates that the model explains 98.9% of the variation in production. Elasticity and allocative efficiency analyses reveal that input utilization has not yet reached optimal levels, while the estimated scale (1.118) indicates an increasing return to scale (IRS) condition. The economic implications of these findings emphasize the importance of efficient feed management to enhance productivity and income, while other factors remain relevant in supporting business sustainability. These results provide important insights for policymakers and local stakeholders to promote efficient resource allocation, strengthen farmer capacity, and develop sustainable shrimp farming strategies that improve coastal community welfare.

Abstract

This study identifies DPSIR (Drivers, Pressures, States, Impacts, Responses) factors affecting mangrove degradation and evaluates the effectiveness of a regression-based DPSIR model in the Teluk Lembar area, West Lombok Regency. A quantitative approach was applied using field surveys and community questionnaires (n = 45) to collect biophysical and socio-economic data. Multiple linear regression was employed to examine how DPSIR pressure variables─rehabilitation frequency, community participation, land clearing, and water quality─affect mangrove biodiversity and density. Land clearing and poor water quality were the most significant predictors of mangrove degradation. The regression model for biodiversity produced R = 0.820 and R² = 0.673, while the model for density yielded R = 0.964 and R² = 0.929 (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that anthropogenic pressures strongly influence both the structural and functional aspects of mangrove ecosystems. The study demonstrates that integrating the DPSIR framework with regression analysis effectively quantifies human-environment interactions driving mangrove degradation. It recommends policy interventions emphasizing continuous mangrove rehabilitation, stricter control of land conversion, and enhanced community participation to ensure the ecological sustainability of mangrove ecosystems in coastal regions.

Abstract

This research evaluates the effectiveness of Indonesia’s marine policies by integrating relevant socio-economic, demographic, and geographical considerations. The study was conducted across 18 Indonesian marine ecoregions, encompassing diverse coastal and archipelagic areas with varying governance characteristics. The study utilized a structured survey of 3,159 respondents to identify key governance challenges, including weak inter-agency coordination, high economic dependence of coastal communities, and implementation disparities between mainland and island regions. Instrument validity was ensured through cognitive interviews to test question clarity before distribution. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple linear regression to quantify the relationship among policy effectiveness, communities’ economic resilience, and public support for conservation. A thematic qualitative analysis of in-depth stakeholder interviews further explored policy barriers and opportunities. Findings reveal that while communities participate in local policy initiatives (mean participation score of 3.52), their influence in decision-making remains limited (mean influence score of 3.19). Based on these evidence-based results, recommendations include enhancing institutional coordination, promoting marine-based economic diversification, and empowering coastal communities to build adaptive capacity in response to climate change and environmental degradation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out about the marketing chain of shellfish commodities in Sidoarjo. This study was conducted using survey methods, and data analysis was conducted using descriptive methods, marketing margins, and the fisherman’s share. The results of the study show that the process of catching was carried out by using dredges. The type of shellfish caught are the short-necked clam (Paratapes undulatus) and the Blood cockles (Anadara granosa and Anadara antiquta). Daily production from fishermen averages 80-100 kg/day and is dominated by blood cockles. The process of shellfish marketing is carried out by fishermen to collectors and is marketed directly to buyers. The collectors will market the shells to retailers and to restaurants. The results of this research obtained 3 types of marketing channels, namely types A, B, and C. The shortest channel types A, namely from fishermen directly to consumers, followed by type B from fishermen to collectors, retailers, and finally to consumers. While type C is the most extended marketing channel, starting from fishermen, collectors, restaurants, and the last is consumers. Type A is an effective marketing channel and efficient for fishermen because it can be obtained from them as compared to other types, and has the fisherman’s share of 42.86%.

Abstract

Fisheries modernization in Indonesia is expected to improve productivity and strengthen the welfare of coastal communities. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the modernization of capture fisheries and fishers’ welfare in Pangandaran Regency. A survey of 60 fishers was conducted using snowball sampling, supported by in-depth interviews and a literature review. Modernization was measured through indicators such as capital, engine power, vessel size, and gear price, while welfare was assessed through income, expenditure, education, health, catch volume, and housing conditions. The analysis employed Spearman’s Rank correlation, complemented by qualitative evidence. The results indicated that most fishers remained at a low to medium level of modernization, while their welfare is generally in the medium category. A strong positive correlation was confirmed between modernization and welfare (ρ = 0.530; p < 0.01). These findings suggest that modernization contributes to better welfare, although the benefits are not distributed evenly, with vessel owners gaining more advantages than crew members. Policy implications highlight the importance of phased financing schemes, improved landing infrastructure, and better protection for small-scale fishers.

Abstract

This study analyzes the economic feasibility and assesses the production risk of the purse seine business based on the fleet capacity in Ohoi Sathean. The types of data needed are primary and secondary data collected using data triangulation. The number of samples is 14 fleets with capacities of 10 GT, 26 GT, 27 GT, and 30 GT. Data were analyzed using business feasibility analysis and business sensitivity analysis. The results of the business feasibility analysis showed that the highest value of RC ratio = 2.13 for a fleet of 10 GT means better operational efficiency, the highest investment criterion value NPV = USD 483,570, BC ratio = 6.39, PP = 2.55, and IRR = 98% for a fleet of 27 GT means better investment feasibility. The sensitivity of the purse seine business to the condition of fuel increase for kerosene 27% and diesel 30%, the highest value of RC ratio = 2.05 for the 10 GT fleet, the highest investment criterion value NPV = USD 205,791, BC ratio = 3.29, IRR = 51% for the 27 GT fleet, while PP = 4.76 years for the 10 GT fleet. In the condition of a 20% decrease in production, the highest value RC ratio = 1.97 is in the 10 GT fleet, the highest investment criteria in NPV = USD146,864, BC ratio = 2.68, and IRR = 41% in the 27 GT fleet, while PP = 5.80 is the lowest in the 10 GT fleet. The 10 GT purse seine business is efficient against changes in inputs and outputs, and the 27 GT is suitable for changes in inputs and outputs. The study aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of 26 GT and 30 GT fleets, and support the development of 10 GT and 27 GT purse seine to optimize catches.
