“…This result is consistent with the findings reported by Da gtekin et al [31] regarding the fact that subsidies favor the technical efficiency of artisanal fishing. Likewise, the findings found in this study are in line with those reported by N'Souvi et al [32] in the sense that the subsidies reduce the inefficiencies of the pelagic trawl fishery. A contribution of this study to the literature was the measurement of the effect of the fuel subsidy of shrimp fishing companies through the marginal effect of the percentage share of liters of subsidized fuel, highlighting that the greatest effects are reached in states that concentrate 20% of subsidies.…”

“…However, they also pointed out that this increase in efficiency encourages overfishing and reduces fish populations. N'Souvi et al [32] analyzed the technical efficiency of the artisanal fishery in Togo during the year 2021, using the output-oriented Stochastic Frontier Analysis approach. The authors used data from 82 fishermen and found that subsidies positively influenced technical efficiency.…”

Fishing sector fuel subsidies are designed to increase profitability by reducing costs. However, despite the number of liters of fuel subsidized in 2018 in Mexico, there is no information available on the effectiveness of the subsidies in reducing cost inefficiencies. The purpose of this study was to estimate the cost efficiency of shrimp fishing companies in Mexico, as well as measure the impact of fuel subsidies on the cost inefficiency of the sector from 2003 to 2018. The True Fixed Effects model was used to represent a Cobb–Douglas stochastic production frontier, which included a shrimp fishing inefficiencies model. The results indicate that shrimp fishing companies could reduce their costs by 25% without reducing their catch levels. Fishing companies in the Gulf of Mexico were more efficient than those operating in the Gulf of California and the South Pacific. Fuel subsidies reduce cost inefficiencies, with a greater effect when the subsidy reaches a level of 20% of the total liters of subsidized fuel.

“…Therefore, it is important to conduct a rigorous evaluation of the utilization rate of these facilities to improve the operational efficiency of fishing ports in accordance with their role in the economic ecosystem. The evaluation of facility utilization rates is a crucial step in understanding the extent to which the available infrastructure is being used effectively [20,21]. This process involves assessing the capacity of the facilities that have been installed, as well as their utilization rate over a given period.…”

“…Based on the findings that the facilities at PPI Binuangeun have a fairly high capacity characteristic but their utilization is not optimal, the following strategies can be implemented to improve the optimization of the utilization of these facilities: 1) analysis and improvement of operational efficiency by carrying out in-depth evaluation and analysis of the operational processes at the dock, harbor pond, and fish auction site [32,33], identifying and eliminating potential bottlenecks in operational flow and implementing technology and information systems to improve efficiency and logistics management [34,35]; 2) the development of a capacity monitoring and management system by establishing a real-time monitoring system to measure facility capacity and predict future needs [36][37][38][39] and develop predictive models to assist management in making decisions regarding resource allocation at all levels [40,41]; and 3) increasing the capacity of fish auction sites by identifying factors that limit the capacity of fish auction sites and considering physical expansion, facility upgrades, or improvements to the auction process [42][43][44].…”

The Binuangeun Fish Landing Port (PPI) plays a significant role in driving fisheries activities for fishermen in the Binuangeun area, Lebak, Banten. Despite being the largest fishing port in the region, the facilities owned by PPI Binuangeun have not been optimally utilized. This study aimed to explore the problems associated with the underutilization of operational facilities at PPI Binuangeun. The quantitative research design was carried out by conducting observations and interviews and distributing questionnaires to relevant stakeholders who played a role in the utilization of facilities at PPI Binuangeun. This research seeks to identify problems, constraints, and expected strategies for optimizing the PPI Binuangeun. All the results are presented descriptively. The findings show that the ability of facilities to utilize dock capacity reached 81.8%, that of port ponds reached 89.9%, and that of fish auction sites reached 50%, indicating that the operational facilities at PPI Binuangeun are at an adequate level of feasibility, but their utilization is not optimal. Field findings showed that during 2015-2022, there was a periodic increase in the number of vessels of various sizes, including the number of vessels that docked. Fish production has also increased with an increase in the number of fishing vessels, fishing gear, number of fishermen, production, and production value. In line with this, the manager of PPI Binuangeun must improve the operational efficiency of the port, including optimizing the port's contribution to improving the fishing industry and the economy of the port. Strategic steps are taken to improve the performance and competitiveness of PPI Binuangeun in the future.

“…In addition, there are also still encountered fishermen who use illegal fishing gear that can damage the marine ecosystem [3]. The problem in the marketing system lies in the distribution system of sales of catch fishermen [4]. The marketing of these caught fish makes for greater distribution costs.…”

Coastal areas have a wealth of marine and river fisheries resources that have great potential to be developed. This potential is utilized by various parties to make utilization efforts including fishing activities; conservation; ports; and marine cultivation; and coastal and aquatic tourism. Problems that currently occur in coastal areas include: (a) illegal fishing, (b) damage to ecosystems in coastal and marine areas, (c) not optimal utilization, (d) unsustainable development, (e) leakage of development due to corruption and injustice. The research methodology used is descriptive and qualitative research with framework analysis, which means framework analysis techniques. This analysis technique is carried out by conceptualizing the system through a structure that describes the connection between one variable and another in a systematic and detailed manner. The findings of this study provide innovative solutions for the application of financial and marketing technology through blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) can increase the productivity of fishermen, internal control, financial transactions, and reliable marketing strategies in helping business entities run their business processes. The management of regional potential independently and integrated can be collaborated through community empowerment and the role of village government through village-owned enterprises (BUMD) based on Sharia cooperatives in villages in coastal areas of Indonesia. So that the productivity of fishermen and government agencies in tourist villages can increase.
