Strategy to Improve the Class of Ambon Archipelago Fisheries Port Into an Ocean Fishery Port Using Swot Analysis

Abstract

An essential factor for the development of fisheries business, especially fishing activities, is the availability of infrastructure for berths or shelter for fishing vessels and landing their catch fish. The infrastructure is in the form of a Fishing Port or Fish Landing Base as a place or base for fishing vessels. This research aimed to examine the condition of Archipelago Fisheries Port (AFP) on the criteria of an Ocean Fishery Port (OFP), and formulated a strategy for developing Ambon AFP in order to increase its class to an Ocean Fishery Port. The method used in this research was descriptive. Data collection techniques carried out by distributing questionnaires, interviews, and secondary data collection. Sampling was done by using purposive sampling as many as 20 key respondents. The analytical tool used was descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis. The results of this study indicate that: Existing operations in Ambon AFP show increasing development from year to year, both in fish landing, fishing boat visits, supply distribution, non-tax state revenue, and the number of fishers and labour. From the Ambon AFP Development Strategy's research results in the context of improving the class of being an Ocean Fishery Port, ten strategies were produced.

“…Apart from being the primary source of livelihood, the number of fishers at PPI Binuangeun is in line with the increase in the fleet and fishing gear in PPI Binuangeun. Research by Pamungkas et al (2019); Wahyuni and Kandi (2019); Ariwibowo (2020); Soumokil (2021) revealed that the high production capacity of fish caught by fishers must be supported by adequate fleets and tools and supportive capacity in terms of quantity and quality. The better the fleet and fishing gear are used and supported by adequate resources, the more the number of catches increases (Fujii 2021; Selig et al 2022).…”

“…The interview results showed that 86.95% of fishers strongly agree that the PPI Binuangeun class is increased, and as many as 13.04% others do not agree and feel that it is sufficient so that it does not need to be increased by assuming it will harm small fishers. According to fishers, if the class increase is carried out, it will make the fishing port bigger so that it becomes an entry point for large ships and impacts small fishers, including their income (Pamungkas et al 2019;Wahyuni and Kandi 2019;Ariwibowo 2020;Soumokil 2021).…”

“…Land area must be estimated in the analysis of the development planning because the area and status of the available land will affect the facility's construction plan. Recommendations can be directed at two alternatives: "full development" or "limited development" (Irawan 2013;Masqudi et al 2018;Soumokil 2021).…”

“…The results of this study are supported by KKP RI (2012); Wijayanto (2016); Rini et al (2017); Pratiwi et al (2021) the development and improvement of the class of superior priority fish landing bases must meet the PPI's specific needs, and the development is focused on human resources and adequate equipment. Furthermore, (Pamungkas et al 2019;Wahyuni and Kandi 2019;Ariwibowo 2020;Soumokil 2021) explain that the improvement of the port class must be accompanied by synergies from multiple components, including both the port community and the government as policymakers and fishing business developers so that development synergy is centered on superior priorities identified via strategic analysis.…”

Analisis Pemangku Kepentingan: Rencana Operasionalisasi Sentra Bisnis Perikanan Terpadu Numana Kabupaten Wakatobi

“…Pemanfaatan sumberdaya ikan di Kabupaten Wakatobi memerlukan infrastruktur pelabuhan perikanan. Pelabuhan perikanan dimaksudkan menjadi sentra produksi dan perdagangan perikanan yang dapat menjadi penggerak utama perekonomian di suatu kawasan (Soumokil 2021). Pelabuhan perikanan berperan sebagai basis utama kegiatan industri perikanan, pusat interaksi nelayan dengan pemerintah daerah, dan sebagai pendorong aktivitas usaha pemanfaatan sumberdaya perikanan secara optimal dan berkelanjutan (Tahir et al 2020).…”
