The fishing port is an important supporting facility for achieving high-quality of fishery production. Maintaining the quality of fishery products is needed by optimizing the function of fishing ports as they are the cutting edge and a prime mover in the management and utilization of fish resources and port environment, ranging from preproduction, production, processing, and marketing. On the other hand, the fishing port has various environmental problems such as waste management, water quality degradation and liquid waste management. The objective of this study is to identify the solid waste input to a fishing port by using remote sensing approach. The research was conducted in Karangantu Fishing Port (Pelabuhan Perikanan Nusantara Karangantu), located in Serang, Banten. This study shows that the high-resolution satellite imagery was proven to be able to estimate the solid waste input to the fishing port area. The result shows that solid waste input to Karangantu Fishing Port was estimated to be 142.95 tons in 2020, which was derived from office activities, shipping activities, and tourist activities surrounding fishing port area. The method approach from this study is expected to support environmental management in the other fishing port areas.
Marine debris pollution has become an important issue in recent years. It has an impact on marine environment and marine life, as well as effecting human health. The objective of this study was to identify the composition of waste that was produced from the fishermen’s activities. The research was conducted in Cikidang Fishing Port, Pangandaran. The data of waste types from fishing vessel were grouped based on the vessel’s dimension. The result show that plastics dominated the waste composition, and based on the vessel dimension when compared the amount of waste generated, the amount of waste from one day fishing (small vessel) was greater than the ten days fishing (big vessel). The amount of waste generated from small vessel was 0.009 tons-1.vessel-1.year-1, meanwhile from big vessel was 0.09 tons-1.vessel-1.years-1. This indicates that the fishers habit to dispose waste not in the right place can become a potential source of marine debris pollution. Maintaining the quality of fishery products is very important starting from improving the fisherman behaviour to the fishing port facilities to achieve the sustainability fishery product.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
