Analysis of the Vulnerability of Small-Scale Capture Fisheries in Pangpang Bay, Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia

Abstract

Pangpang Bay is called a multi-use area because it has the potential not only for capture fisheries and aquaculture, but also for mangrove conservation. However, small-scale fishermen in Pangpang Bay feel the impact of climate change. The impact of climate change on fisheries can lead to vulnerability to the sustainability of fishing communities in particular The benefits of research as a basis for developing small-scale capture fisheries in Pangpang Bay, Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia. The research was conducted from March to July 2023. The method used in this study is a quantitative descriptive method, with data collection methods using surveys and direct observation. The analytical method used is the vulnerability of capture fisheries, with data analysis carried out on 1) Exposure, the variable is sea surface temperature (SST); 2) Sensitivity, the variables are analyzed being the catch and the number of fishermen; 3) Adaptive capacity, the variables are mangrove area, number of fish landings and number of fishery instructors. The results of the study showed that for small-scale capture fisheries in Pangpang is in the category of moderate vulnerability to climate change. In this case, it has implications for policies that can increase adaptive capacity and reduce sensitivity
