One type of fish resource whose production is relatively high and has high economic value is anchovy. Anchovies that are managed properly and responsibly will create jobs that can drive regional economic development and support the improve of national food security. This study aims to determine the anchovy logistics system in the Sunda Strait coastal of Banten Province. The research was conducted in May-December 2019 on the coast of the Sunda Strait of Banten Province. The fisheries logistics system is formulated using a soft system management (SSM) approach and analyzed descriptively. The supply chain system of anchovy has four supply chain types. Anchovies logistic system needs to be improved to dry and sort fish and create a central warehouse. So the actors can find it easier to supply anchovy stocks and marketing and make cooperation agreements between the actors involved. Besides, it is required to conduct socialization and training on effective, efficient, and hygienic handling and anchovy processing and strengthening fishing institutions.
