Suistainability of Small Scale Capture Fisheries in Banggai Laut Waters, Indonesia

Abstract

Small scale capture fisheries is one of the leading sectors that drive the economy of Banggai Laut Regency. Fishing technology improved related to fishing efforts has an effect on the preservation of fish stocks resource in the area that it required management efforts. This study aims to determine the sustainability status of small scale fisheries in Banggai Laut Regency based on ecological, fishing technology, social and economic dimensions. The research was conducted from September to December 2017 in seven sub-districts in Banggai Laut Regency. In determining the sustainability status of each dimension, the Rapfish (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries Sustainability) approach is used. Furthermore, in determining the attributes that had an influence on the sustainability performance of small scale capture fisheries, a leverage analysis is carried out. The results showed that the highest sustainability index was the economic dimension of 75.57 (good), the ecological dimension of 59.25 (good), and the lowest was the social dimension of 22.95 (very bad), the dimension of fishing technology was 22.62 (very bad). Remedial measures that must be taken to improve sustainability performance include improving law enforcement facilities and infrastructure at sea and empowering supervisory officers, limiting excessive use of FAD, providing subsidies to small scale fisheries, and regulating fishing areas between local fishermen and Andon fishermen.

The Level of Utilization of Small Pelagic Fish Resources in Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi

“…Beberapa jenis ikan hasil perairannya antara lain cakalang, teri, layang, dan kembung (Statistik Buton, 2022). Dengan potensi sumberdaya ikan melimpah yang dapat menjadi salah satu penggerak pembangunan ekonomi daerah berbasis sumberdaya alam, pemanfaatan sumberdaya memerlukan strategi pengelolaan yang tepat dengan memperhatikan isu dari kondisi terkini dan permasalahan yang timbul dalam pemanfaatan sumberdaya guna menjaga kelestarian sumberdaya perikanan yang melipti dimensi ekologi, teknologi penangkapan, sosial dan ekonomi (Adel et al, 2016;Kasim et al, 2017;Prasetyo et al, 2018;Putra et al, 2021). Berdasarkan perhatian isu dan permasalahan tersebut kemudian dapat diidentifikasi faktor keberlanjutannya (Mardyani et al, 2019;Ninef et al, 2019) sehingga diharapkan strategi kebijakan pengelolaan dapat dirumuskan berdasarkan hal tersebut.…”

Environmental Reliability Assessment for the Small-Scale Fisheries after the 2018 Earthquake and Tsunami in Donggala, Indonesia - The Voice from The Fishers

“…The Minapolitan Program is a development model that encompasses a coastal region and the adjacent land area. On the other hand, there have never been any reliable scientific reports regarding the success of a program like this [4] [5] [6]. Of the 16 sub-regencies that make up Donggala Regencies, 14 are found in coastal areas around the Makassar Strait.…”
