“…An increase in floating net cages (KJA) will affect water quality if these activities are not managed properly. Growing in floating net cages and marine fish farms will increase organic waste and harm water quality [34][35][36][37]. Nutrient waste from unsustainable aquaculture practices pollutes the waters, threatening the cultivated biota and reducing production [38].…”

The Covid-19 pandemic has generally impacted coastal activities, including mariculture development. A decrease or increase in aquaculture production will influence the aquatic environment and socio-economic of coastal communities. The aims of this study were (1) to analyze mariculture production in Ekas Bay during the Covid-19 pandemic and (2) to evaluate the coastal management based on the coastal community perspective. The study analysis uses both of analysis of comparative and analysis of descriptive. The results showed that the number of floating marine cages and fishery production had increased by more than 500% during the pandemic compared to before the pandemic. From the results of the dept-interview with coastal communities and fisheries extension officers, one of the drivers for increasing the amount of marine production, especially lobster commodity, is the implementation of government policies related to lobster management. Coastal management implementation has a good category with 65,03% of response assessment. The study also evaluated household waste management, resulting in a poor category with 56.65% of respondents’ assessment. Household waste needs managed properly to minimize the risk of environmental degradation and decrease marine resources in Ekas Bay.

“…In Madagascar's Velondriake LMMA, sea cucumber farms in particular are considered by local communities to contribute toward repopulation of depleted stocks of wild Holothuria scabra populations, as a result of spawning of mature adults within aquaculture pens. Similarly, farming of the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera in Zanzibar involves protection of the nearby reef as a no-take zone where pearl oysters could reach mature size and enhance stocks in nearby fished areas (Haws et al 2010).…”

Community based aquaculture in the western Indian Ocean: challenges and opportunities for developing sustainable coastal livelihoods

The small-fisheries social-ecological system in the western Indian Ocean (WIO) represents a typical social-ecological trap setting where very poor natural resources dependent coastal communities face local and global threats and engage in unsustainable practices of exploiting limited resources. Community-based aquaculture (CBA) has been implemented as an important alternative or supplementary income generating activity for minimizing the overdependence on marine natural resources and promoting biodiversity conservation. Despite its proliferation throughout the WIO region in recent decades, little is known about the degree to which CBA activities have contributed to achieving the objectives of breaking the cycle of poverty and environmental degradation and promoting community development and biodiversity conservation. In order to improve understanding of common challenges and to generate recommendations for best practice, we assessed the most common CBA activities practiced in the region through literature review and workshop discussion involving practitioners and key stakeholders. Findings indicated that despite favorable environmental conditions for various CBA practices, the sector remains underdeveloped, with few activities delivering the intended benefits for coastal livelihoods or conservation. Constraints included a shortage of seed and feed supplies, low investment, limited technical capacity and skills, insufficient political support, and lack of a clear strategy for aquaculture development. These are compounded by a lack of engagement of local stakeholders, with decision making often dominated by donors, development agencies, and private sector partners. Many of the region's CBA projects are designed along unrealistically short time frames, driven by donors rather than entrepreneurs, and so are unable to achieve financial sustainability, which limits the opportunity for capacity building and longer-term development. There is little or no monitoring on ecological and socioeconomic impacts. Except for a few isolated cases, links between CBA and marine conservation outcomes have rarely been demonstrated. Realizing the potential of CBA in contributing toward food security in the WIO will necessitate concerted investment and capacity strengthening to overcome these systemic challenges in the sector. Lessons herein offer managers, scientists, and policy advisors guidance on addressing the challenges faced in building strategic development initiatives around aquaculture in developing countries.
