Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the fish distribution activities in UD. Sumber Rezeki Laut, alongside the fish handling during distribution, and critical points of fish quality decline during distribution. This research uses descriptive analysis, critical point analysis, organoleptic tests, and income analysis. Distribution handling is divided into two types, namely direct distribution handling and indirect distribution handling. The most important handling of both types of distribution includes maintaining the right temperature during the process, transferring fish to UD. Sumber Rezeki Laut, changing fish containers, cleaning and soaking fish, and distributing fish to Balekambang Market. However, the long travel distance required to distribute the fishes has the potential to reduce the quality of the fish, as evidenced by the decrease in fish quality observed during the distribution trials. Organoleptic test results showed that the quality of the fish decreased from when it was purchased until it reached the wholesaler. Meanwhile, when calculating distribution costs, the highest result for direct distribution was IDR1,335,987, and the lowest was IDR372,995. The highest income from indirect distribution was IDR1,544,001, while the lowest was IDR399,993. To ensure good fish quality, UD. Sumber Rezeki Laut needs to improve its human resource capabilities to become more efficient and produce quality products for consumers.

Abstract

The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries oversees Marine Tourism Village, an initiative for the growth of marine tourism. One of the Maritime Tourism Villages in Kendal Regency is Jungsemi Village, which has a beach run by Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) as its main draw. This study aims to estimate the Willingness to Pay (WTP) value of beach tourism entrance tickets at Jungsemi Maritime Tourism Village so that the optimum entrance ticket price will be obtained. A dichotomous choice questionnaire was employed to collect data on the socio-economic characteristics of 79 respondents who visited the beach, with the aim of determining the average WTP value. The WTP estimation results show that respondents are willing to pay a beach entrance ticket of IDR6,700 to maintain cleanliness and natural beauty, as well as the addition of comfortable tourist facilities. This is higher than the current admission price of IDR5,000 per person. Based on a simple linear regression model, it has been demonstrated that an increase in the admission fee by IDR1,000 per individual results in a decrease of 426 visitors to the tourist destination. With current conditions, this means that an extra 20% in entry ticket prices only reduces the number of visitors by 0.56%, showing that visitor demand is relatively inelastic and hence there is still room to increase entrance ticket prices.

Abstract

Freshwater stingrays play a crucial role in the ecological and economic functions of the Musi River. Their existence in the Musi River is threatened by both natural and human factors. The livelihoods of fishermen in the Musi River depends on the sale of freshwater stingrays. This study aims to analyze the livelihood assets of freshwater stingray fishermen and their relation to natural, human, financial, physical, and social aspects. The research was conducted from February 2023 to March 2023 in the district of Seberang Ulu II, Plaju, Kertapati, and Gandus in Palembang City, South Sumatra Province. Livelihood asset analysis was performed using the livelihood asset method. The results indicate that the livelihood assets of fishermen in these districts have a moderate sustainability status, ranging from 0.48 to 0.50. Physical and natural assets have the lowest sustainability status index, averaging 0.31 across the four districts. Social assets in the four districts have the highest sustainability status index, averaging 0.88. These scores demonstrate the dependence of fishermen's livelihoods on the assets they possess. Recommendations from this study include the need to enhance financial and capital assets to reduce the sale of freshwater stingrays.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption to the global economy and society, including fisheries and aquaculture. This study aims to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on the fisheries sector in Indonesia, focusing on the case of Pondokdadap Fishing Port, one of the main landing sites for tuna and other pelagic fish in East Java Province. This study compared data from 2019 (before the pandemic) and 2020 (during the pandemic) to assess changes and trends in the volume and value of fish production, the number of fishing trips, fish prices, and fishers' income at Pondokdadap Fishing Port. This study found that COVID-19 has significantly reduced the volume and value of fish production, the number of fishing trips, fish prices, and fishers' income at Pondokdadap Fishing Port. There are several possible causes and consequences, such as decreased demand, supply chain disruption, health risks or food insecurity. This research also identifies several policy responses and recommendations to mitigate the negative impacts and enhance the recovery of the fisheries sector, such as providing income support, facilitating market access, improving health measures, or strengthening policies on the capture fisheries sector. This research contributes to filling a gap in the literature on the impact of COVID-19 on fisheries in developing countries, particularly Indonesia.

Abstract

Social, economic, and institutional aspects are crucial for supporting sustainable fisheries management. The objective of this research is to assess the level of sustainability of the social, economic, and institutional aspects of fisheries management, especially at the fishing port level. In this research, field research was conducted using composite analysis and flag modelling visualization in the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) as a tool to assess the sustainability of each aspect. Data were obtained from interviews and questionnaires answered by 90 respondents, including fishermen, port officers, and fisheries entrepreneurs in the Palabuhanratu Nusantara Fishing Port. The results showed that, overall, the sustainability condition in the social aspect was good with a score of 79.69, while the economic aspect was moderate with a score of 55.32, and the institutional aspect was good with a score of 80.28. The lowest levels of sustainability in the social and economic aspects were found in the indicators of stakeholder participation and fishery household income, both in the medium category. In the institutional aspect, the lowest level of sustainability was found in the indicator of compliance with responsible fisheries management principles, which was in the good category. These results are expected to provide stakeholders with the necessary information to take corrective steps to improve sustainability in fisheries management, particularly in the social and economic aspects.

Abstract

Climate change is a natural phenomenon resulting from global warming on earth which occurs continuously and increases every year. The main factor causing global warming is greenhouse gases produced from human and industrial activities. Coastal areas are zones that play a large role in the world carbon cycle which influences global warming. The low response of coastal communities to climate change can have an impact on the emergence of social and ecological problems, namely tidal floods. Social and ecological issue in coastal areas are important things that are tied to each other. The research purpose is to analyze the fishermen’s response to climate change as a mitigation and adaptation effort in Tambak Lorok, Semarang City. This research uses a mixed methode approach, with research subjects of 35 respondents. The research results show that as many as 67.72% of the fisherman’s already respond to the climate change phenomenon in Tambak Lorok, Semarang City. The climate change mitigation efforts carried out are mangrove restoration and conservation by cultivating mangroves and collaborating with Corporate Social Responsibility to carry out environmental programs based on mangrove conservation such as the planting program of 1000 mangroves in the coastal area of Tambak Lorok. It is hoped that this program can be a commitment of the community and industry that synergize to mitigate climate change in Tambak Lorok.
