Increasing of fishing productivity is an indicator of fishing intensity. The increasing productivity dominated by a small and immature population also as an indicator of vulnerability stock in the sea. Therefore, fishing productivity research is important as the basis of the study of the efficiency and vulnerability of fish stocks. This research was conducted in the Sunda strait using landing fish data in Labuan Landing Port from February until July 2018. Evaluation of the effectivity and intensity of fishing pressure was determined by a descriptive statistic from average and deviation of the fishing number. The results of the research showed that the productivity of purse seine, beach seine, mini purse seine, mini trawl higher than that of other gears. The average productivity value purse seine, beach seine, mini purse seine, mini trawl was 100.63, 84.16, 25.5 and 31. 6 kg per unit per trip, respectively. These gears were more effective compared to other fishing gears. These results can be used as an indicator and basis to evaluate the vulnerability stock from fishing activity.

Although small‐scale fisheries (SSF) play an important socio‐economic role in developing nations, overfishing seems to be increasing the risk of stock vulnerability. This study aims to quantify the pressure of SSF on fish stocks in Sunda Strait (Indonesia) using several biological indicators that are important in quantifying fishing pressure. Data on these indicators were collected monthly for three years (2012–2014) in one of the main fishing ports of the area. The results provide evidence that, although SSF would appear to be the most environmentally sustainable of all the fishing techniques being used today in the coastal waters of Indonesia, the impact of SSF fishing on juvenile fishes in certain areas such as the Sunda Strait must not be underestimated. The results also show the need to protect immature fish of species that are not only commercialised but are also important in subsistence fisheries. Although further studies are needed to assess the impact of SSF on fish stocks in the area, it is suggested management recommendations that include the implementation of marine‐protected areas in nursery grounds and establishing minimum landing sizes well above the size‐at‐maturity for each species, are needed.

Comprehensive development is a management process combined with the socio-economic aspects of the community, especially in the buffer zone of the National Park area. The community can play a role in extension activities through Forestry and Rural Extension Center (SPKP) in order to encourage productivity’s enhancement and community’s autonomy through various productive activities undertaken. The research objectives are (1) identify individual characteristics, and (2) analyze the dynamics of SPKP Mangga Delima Karimunjawa National Park group. The research used census method in SPKP Mangga Delima, Kemujan village, Karimunjawa distrcts. The research used census method in SPKP Mangga Delima, Kemujan village, Karimunjawa districts. There were 16 respondents that are members of the group. Data analysis used frequency distribution and description. The findings of individual characteristic are mostly (56,25%) middle adult age (36-50 years old), formal education less than 9 years (62,50%), less good cosmopolitan (56,25%) participate in decision making (87,50%), and join member less than 5 years (62,50%). The findings for the dynamics of the group are most respondents consider the group objectives are good enough (50%) and good (50%), the group structure is good enough (56.25%), the group task function is good (81.25%), the coaching and group development is  good enough (81.25%), the group cohesiveness is good (62.5%), the group atmosphere is good (56.25%), the group tension is good enough (50%) and good (50%), the group effectiveness is good enough (50%).

Nusa Penida adalah kawasan konservasi perairan (KKp) yang memiliki keragaman jenis ikan yang tinggi. Penangkapan ikan target oleh nelayan perlu diatur dan dikelola dengan baik untuk menghindari tangkap lebih. Tujuan penelitian adalah menilai pengelolaan perikanan ikan tongkol lisong (Auxis rochei) yang sudah diterapkan di Nusa Penida menggunakan indikator Ecosystem Approach for Fisheries Management (EAFM). Penelitian dilakukan di perairan Nusa Penida, Provinsi Bali, pada Juli-Desember 2018. Pengumpulan data meliputi data ekologi (panjang dan bobot ikan, serta kualitas air) melalui survei terhadap hasil tangkapan dan perairan; data sosial-kelembagaan melalui kuesioner kepada 54 responden nelayan (jaring hanyut, jaring insang, pancing) dan wawancara dengan para pemangku kepentingan. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif sesuai dengan domain dan indikator pada EAFM. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ikan tongkol lisong mempunyai panjang rata-rata 24,59 cm dengan kisaran panjang (21-34) cm, lebih kecil daripada yang tercatat pada FishBase yaitu 35-50 cm. Nilai spawning potential ratio adalah 23% yang mengindikasikan overfished. Kualitas air sesuai dengan baku mutu perairan untuk biota laut. Penerapan kearifan tradisional yaitu Nyepi Segara ditaati oleh masyarakat lokal sebagai upaya untuk menjaga kelestarian sumber daya ikan (SDI). Penilaian pengelolaan perikanan tongkol lisong menggunakan indikator EAFM menyimpulkan bahwa pada domain SDI terjadi indikasi overfished. Domain habitat (kualitas air dan tutupan karang) dalam kondisi baik. Domain sosial dan ekonomi dalam kondisi baik, kecuali pendapatan responden (54%) kurang dari Rp1.500.000,00.

Universitas Terbuka (UT) sebagai perguruan tinggi (PT) negeri di Indonesia yang menerapkan sistem belajar Terbuka dan Jarak Jauh, dengan karakteristik mahasiswa yang berbeda dengan PT konvesional. Belajar di UT tidak dibatasi oleh umur, pekerjaan ataupun tempat tinggalnya. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji profil dan karakteristik individu penyuluh lulusan pendidikan jarak jauh. Profil penyuluh ditinjau dari segi asal UPBJJ-UT, bidang minat, status pekerjaan, dan tahun lulus. Sedangkan karakteristik individu dilihat dari umur, pengalaman kerja, jenis kelamin, dan motivasi belajar. Sampel penelitian ini adalah penyuluh alumni UT yang berjumlah 206 lulusan, berasal dari wilayah Bengkulu, Bogor, Jakarta, Jambi, Pontianak, Samarinda, dan Serang. Semua wilayah tersebut dipilih dengan pertimbangan merupakan daerah dengan jumlah lulusan yang cukup banyak. Untuk memperkaya hasil penelitian, dilakukan wawancara mendalam (Indepth Interview) terhadap beberapa informan kunci. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bidang minat yang terbanyak diambil penyuluh lulusan UT adalah pertanian, dan kebanyakan dari mereka adalah penyuluh lulusan UT antara tahun 2006 hingga 2014, sebagian besar (61,2%) tergolong usia lanjut yaitu berumur sekitar 48 sampai dengan 60 tahun, mempunyai pengalaman kerja yang cukup lama yaitu antara 15 – 38 tahun (60,2%), pekerjaan sebagai penyuluh masih didominasi oleh laki-laki (73,3%), serta mempunyai motivasi belajar yang tinggi (97,2%).
