Abstract

The critical condition of Lake Tempe has undergone comprehensive changes over the last 10 years. Fisheries management strategy indicators with an appropriate ecosystem-based approach can reduce and prevent unbalanced environmental impacts. This research analyzes fisheries management using the Ecosystem Approach Fisheries Management (EAFM) module, the Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries Sustainability (RAPFISH) method. Six important statuses and dimensions used as attribute indicator analysis in this research are fish resource dimensions, habitat dimensions, fishing technique dimensions, economic dimensions, social dimensions, and institutional dimensions. The analysis results show that the fishery management status value for Lake Tempe is 36.072 in the unsustainable category. Based on the RAPFISH analysis, namely: (1) Economic dimensions 21.390 in the unsustainable category, (2) Habitat dimensions 36.050 in the unsustainable category, (3) Fish resource dimensions 24.483 in the moderately sustainable category, (4) Fishing technique dimensions 42.180 in the moderately sustainable category, (5) Institutional dimensions 48.070 categories are quite sustainable (6) Social dimensions 45.590 categories are quite sustainable. Based on the AHP analysis, habitat dimensions, protection of important zones for spawning grounds, nursery grounds, and water hyacinth cover problems are identified.

Abstract

Shrimp is one of Indonesia's leading fishery commodities. Vaname shrimp is the most widely cultivated type of shrimp. Shrimp production fluctuates every year. West Java is one of the shrimp centers that experienced a greater decline in production compared to other shrimp center provinces. This decline in production may be attributed to a failure to achieve technical efficiency. This study aims to determine the technical efficiency level by including variables affecting production and technical efficiency. This study was conducted in Indramayu Regency, which is one of the shrimp centers in West Java. This study employs the Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) method, utilizing the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results showed that shrimp farmers in Indramayu Regency are technically efficient, with an efficiency value of 0.83. Factors affecting production are fry, feed, in-family labor, out-of-family labor, and water pumps. Factors affecting technical efficiency are age, experience, number of dependents, and capital sources. This study suggests that feed is the most responsive variable to production, so good feed management is needed. Young farmers are more efficient, so this business can be an alternative for the younger generation

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

This study investigates the effectiveness of Submersible Attractor Lights (SAL) in improving the economic productivity of gillnet fisheries in the Madura Strait. Using experimental methods over a two-month period, this research compares catch results with and without SAL, focusing on the quantity, weight, and diversity of fish caught. The test results (U = 365.0, p = 0.0000086) indicate a statistically significant difference between gillnet catches with and without SAL. The findings reveal that SAL increases the economic value of the catch by 84.13%, demonstrating significant improvements in both productivity and profitability. Species such as Indian Mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta), Bigeye Scad (Selar crumenophthalmus), and Great Barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) exhibited notable economic contributions when SAL was employed. Additionally, SAL reduced operational inefficiencies by attracting fish closer to the nets, thereby optimizing fuel and time usage. The study also acknowledges the upfront cost of SAL and operational expenses, which are outweighed by the substantial economic benefits. This research emphasizes SAL as a sustainable technological innovation with potential applications in small-scale fisheries to enhance both economic and environmental outcomes.

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 small-scale capture fisheries sector is vital to the economy of Raja Ampat Regency. Still, it faces sustainability challenges, including ecological pressures, limited access to technology, low welfare among fishers, and weak governance. The objective of this study is to evaluate the sustainability status of small-scale capture fisheries in Raja Ampat based on five dimensions: economic, ecological, social, technological, and legal and institutional. The Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries technique was employed to analyze sustainability in a multidimensional manner, followed by Monte Carlo and Leverage analysis to identify leverage attributes in each dimension. Results show that the ecological and economic dimensions are moderately sustainable, while the social, technological, and legal and institutional dimensions are less sustainable. Key leverage attributes include fish size, fishing time, and species variability in ecology; fisheries marketing, business capital, additional income, and subsidies in the economy; regulation compliance and fisher group roles in social aspects; selective fishing gear and quality management in technology; and law enforcement, rule dissemination, and institutional guidance in the legal and institutional dimension. Enhancing these attributes is expected to support the sector's sustainability in Raja Ampat.

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 aimed to evaluate the techno-economic feasibility of reintroducing sail propulsion on the traditional "Ijon-Ijon" fishing boat in Lamongan, East Java. The methodology involved numerical calculations and ship modeling to determine vessel resistance and sail-generated thrust. A 76 m² triangular sail was designed and analysed using established aerodynamic principles. The results showed that the sail generated a thrust of 85.6 N, 135 N, and 323 N at wind speeds of 4 m/s, 5 m/s, and 8.245 m/s (16 knots), respectively, enabling the vessel to achieve speeds exceeding 4.5 knots in good wind conditions. The economic analysis projects monthly fuel cost savings of IDR 1,315,800 at 16 knots and IDR 2,652,000 at 30 knots. In conclusion, reintroducing sail propulsion is a viable strategy for reducing operational costs and enhancing sustainability in Indonesia's traditional fisheries sector.

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 aims to analyze the pattern of patron-client relationships between senangin (Eleutheronema tetradactylum) fishermen and tauke (capital owners) in Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative approach using primary data obtained through direct interviews with fishermen, tauke, and related stakeholders, and secondary data collected from government institutions and statistical reports. The findings reveal that fishermen depend heavily on tauke due to limited capital and restricted market access. Tauke provides fishing facilities, such as operational costs, boats, and fishing gear, while fishermen are bound to sell their catches exclusively to the tauke. This relationship includes both economic aspects (capital support and profit-sharing system, with 75% of catches going to fishermen and 25% to tauke) and non-economic aspects (loans during lean seasons, assistance in emergencies, trust, and loyalty). The study concludes that the patron-client relationship forms a reciprocal yet asymmetric dependency, where fishermen gain access to capital and markets, while tauke maintains control over fish pricing and distribution. Institutional strengthening and alternative financial mechanisms are recommended to reduce fishermen’s dependency and promote sustainable fisheries management.
