Empirical Studies the Sustainability of the Subsector Fisheries on the Coastal of Regency Banyuwangi (Perspective of Sustainable Development)

Abstract

Fishery resources in the coastal areas of Banyuwangi has enormous potential in supporting the life of fishermen. However, the current actual condition, the volume of fishery production in the coastal areas of Banyuwangi has decreased. Sustainable development in the fishery subsector is directed to improve the welfare of fishermen, optimizing the utilization of fishery resources without neglecting the economic, ecological (environmental) and social aspects. The results showed that the development of fishery resources in the coastal areas of Banyuwangi has not reached the sustainable stage. The results of the measurement of the sustainability of fishery resources showed low average value. From each dimension (economic, social and environmental) there are several criterias that have medium (M) and high (H) value. This means that in each dimension requires an alternative recommendation to support the sustainable development of capture fisheries. Economic dimension, the decline of catching quantity is a priority to formulate recommendations. The beneficiaries of fishery resources should provide a compensation for conservation measures to maintain the capture fisheries ecosystem. In addition, the role of the government is also needed as a party that has an important role related to fishery resource policy. The environmental dimension has only one priority of recommendation developments, that is making WWTP (wastewater treatment plant) and its use according to standard. Better waste management can minimize pollution so it will not affect the balance of the ecosystem of fishery resources. Social dimension, institutional system improvement is a recommendation option that can improve the fishery resource management system in coastal areas of Banyuwangi to improve the prosperity of fishermen. Finally, improvements in every aspect of supporting sustainable fisheries development can maintain the sustainability of fishery resources so that the utilization of capture fisheries resources can be done optimally without putting aside the economic, environmental and social sustainability.
