Abstract

Giant prawns are one of the leading commodities of the people of Sambas Regency. From a socio-cultural perspective, catching giant prawns has been going on for a long time and until now it has become a habit and a hobby which has even become an international event that is packaged in the form of a fishing competition. Indirectly, the giant prawn business expands and plays a role in moving other sectors, such as the tourism sector, either in the form of tours or culinary. Catching giant prawns in Sambas Regency is already intensive because it only depends on the fishing sub-sector and lasts all year round. This study aims to predict the current status of giant prawn resources in various dimensions in order to formulate strategic policies in sustainable management. Based on the results of the RAPFISH analysis on each dimension of sustainability, it can be concluded that the sustainability status of giant prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) resource management in Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan, has a sustainability index value of 45.34. Sustainability status is in less sustainable condition or poor management status. The highest sustainability index value is found on the social dimension and the lowest on the institutional dimension. Of the five dimensions of sustainability, the social and ecological dimensions show results that are still supportive for the sustainability of the giant prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) resource management in Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan. And the other three dimensions must be given special attention because the sustainability dimension has an impact on the sustainability of management with a less sustainable status or poor management status. Especially on the institutional dimension, it should be an evaluation for local governments. Based on the facts on the ground, there is no real formal institution in catching giant prawns, unlike fishing groups or other fish farming groups. That's why it is believed that in planning the development of fishing groups or fishing for giant prawns, it is currently impossible to do. So that in the future a formal regulation from the local government is needed regarding the business actors of catching giant prawns in Sambas Regency.
