Abstract

East Java is one of the provinces that has the largest capture fisheries resources in Indonesia. It is recorded that the sustainable potential of East Java fisheries is more than 500.000 tons / year [1]. Capture fisheries production in the southern part of East Java Province is dominated by 3 Regencies, there are Trenggalek Regency, Pacitan Regency and Banyuwangi Regency [2]. As one of the Provinces that greatly contributed to the National income, East Java province is very potential if the government wants to make strategic plans related to the capture fisheries industry in East Java province. This strategic plan will determine a suitable development area for the capture fisheries industry on the southern part of East Java by considering operational aspects and interconnection between ports. By considering these two factors, it is hoped that the center for the development of the capture fisheries industry in southern of East Java will become more structured so can supports the government program, National Fisheries Logistics System (SLIN).
