Strengthening the Blue Economy through Marine, Coastal Resources and the Social Environment

The fisheries sector is a sector which supports Indonesia’s development, because the waters in Indonesia are wider than the land. Central Java is a region that has a long coastline stretching along the north coast and the south coast of Java. This supports the development of fisheries potential in Indonesia. Research on the blue economy theme for the fisheries sector is being promoted. The method used is an analysis of economic aspects in Central Java, especially people engaged in fisheries (GRDP and income per capita), potential fisheries resources, human resource potential (number of fish fishermen and cultivators), fisheries households, as well as aspects of production and value fisheries production. The results of this research can provide an overview of the potential of fisheries in Central Java to facilitate their management. The research results show that GRDP in the fields of fisheries, forestry, and agriculture during the 2018-2022 period was 3.23%-7.33%; the highest per capita expenditure in the food sector is used to purchase food, and non-food cost is for housing and household facilities. The highest fish resource potential is a small pelagic fish. The most increased fisheries production in 2022 in the Central Java region will be in Rembang and Pati Regencies which have coastlines and are coastal areas.

Impact evaluation of cooperative membership on welfare: Evidence from captured fishery households in Indonesia

Two challenges faced by fishers are access to loans and markets. They typically seek loans to fulfill their daily needs and invest in fishing equipment to mitigate their income instability. However, their access to credit from formal institutions is often constrained by limited or unavailability of collateral. In terms of market access, some fishers cannot be physically present in the market because their fishing schedule does not align with the operational schedule of the fish market. Furthermore, they tend to live far from the markets, so they often find it difficult to sell their catch in the markets directly. Many fishers worldwide join cooperatives to mitigate uncertainty and boost income. Cooperatives are designed to provide stable fish markets, fair prices, credit, fishing tools, and market information. This study aims to evaluate the impact of cooperative membership on households' income in Indonesia's capture fisheries sector. The analysis employs a quasi-experimental method with a cross-sectional design using survey data on household income in the agricultural sector collected by Statistics Indonesia (BPS) in 2013. The dataset comprises 28,727 capture fisheries households spread across 33 provinces. The Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method was used to construct a control group by identifying similarities in observed characteristics. The results affirm that cooperative membership has a positive and significant impact on the household income of the capture fisheries sector in Indonesia. Being a cooperative member increases households’ income, thereby improving their living standards. These findings underscore the significance of policymaking that supports cooperative associations as they help improve fishers’ livelihoods and sustainability.

These results showed that Indonesian fishery household didn’t get the benefit from foreign vessel moratorium. Hence, the other policy is needed to increase Indonesian fishery households’ prosperity.

Valuation of fisheries management status based on ecosystem approach (EA) in East Simeulue, Aceh

Fishery management is an activity that must be carried out to achieve sustainable fisheries. Fisheries management using the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) approach is the sustainable use of fishery resources and protection of fish stocks in nature. One of the objectives of fisheries management in social and economic aspects is how fisheries can ensure the socio-economic welfare of the fishing community. Using fishing gear that is not environmentally friendly is one of the triggers for social conflict between fishermen and the uncertain selling price when the peak season of fish impacted the fishermen's economy. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the socio-economic domain indicators from the aspect of EAFM-based coastal and marine resource ecosystem management. This research was conducted from January to February 2021, located in Simeulue District, Sub-District East Simeulue. The data collection method used in the study was interviews and field surveys. The determination of respondents is done by using a gradual sampling technique or stratified random sampling. Data analysis uses an ordinal-based Likert score of 1,2,3 for each indicator, namely the economic domain, fishery household income (RTP), savings ratio, asset ownership, and the social domain, namely stakeholder participation fisheries conflict and the use of local knowledge in fish resource management. Management status in East Simeulue District assessed the aggregate value of the economic domain in the medium category with a score of 48.3. Fishermen still earn less than the minimum wage, while in the social domain, it is in the excellent category with a score of 100 because fishermen, institutions, and related agencies work with each other.

Living under ecosystem degradation: Evidence from the mangrove–fishery linkage in Indonesia

This study examines the impacts of ecosystem degradation on social welfare, focusing on the mangrove–fishery linkage in Indonesia. Using nationally representative household data combined with satellite information on spatiotemporal mangrove loss, the study finds that fishery households experienced a decline in annual income ranging from 5.3% to 9.8% in response to a 1% increase in mangrove loss in the region. Under the income shock, fishery households increased their labor input and decreased their non-food consumption; however, they continued being part of the fishery industry. Furthermore, according to a back-of-the-envelope calculation, the potential economic value of mangrove conservation, estimated in terms of fishery production reached 22,861 US$/hectare/year. This makes conservation substantially more cost-effective than alternative land uses, such as aquaculture and oil palm plantations. These findings highlight the need to support mangrove forest conservation to achieve sustainable development and ecosystem conservation.

Small-scale fishers’ catch production in Taiwanese coastal areas

The catch production of small-scale fishers has a considerable impact on the fishery household economy in Taiwanese coastal areas via the aspects of household income and consumption expenditure. This study documents the characteristics of small-scale fishers’ catch production in Taiwanese coastal areas using survey data of fishery households in Changhua County, Taiwan. Regression analyses with cross-sectional data are conducted by the estimation of the Cobb-Douglas production function. The results suggest that the catch production of small-scale fishers in Changhua County is labor intensive and the production process has decreasing return to scale. This implies the government’s decommissioning policies could restore the allocative efficiency of offshore and coastal fisheries. Further, the total factor productivity is positively influenced by fishers’ age but is not influenced by their level of education. The policy implications of the findings are that strengthening fishers’ fishing knowledge and experience may improve the fishery household economy and the welfare of Taiwanese coastal communities. In sum, given the depletion of existing fishery resources, the focus should be on the expansion of output value rather than the output itself to improve the welfare of fishery communities.

Risk Analysis of the Impact of Pandemic COVID-19 on the Health and Economy of Fishery Households in Kedung Cowek Village, Bulak, Surabaya

Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia, many fishery households on Indonesia's coast have been affected. Therefore, an analysis of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was carried out on the health and economy of fisheries households in the coastal areas of Kenjeran Beach, especially in Kedung Cowek Village, Bulak, Surabaya. The Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method is used to find the probability of decreasing fisheries household welfare and the Event Tree Analysis (ETA) to find the level of risk for each factor causing the decline in the welfare of fishery households. The analysis result shows that 21 factors cause household welfare in Kenjeran Beach to decline, grouped into two intermediate events: decreasing fisheries household income and decreasing fishery household health. The probability of fishery household welfare decreases by 0.0171212. Decreasing welfare of fisheries households has a risk that fisheries household income will not experience a decrease in income, and there is no spread of COVID19, with a risk probability of 0.0052 and having a medium risk index level. Based on this, stakeholders in the income and health of fisheries households such as the government, analytical institutions, and households have a role in mitigating the impact of COVID-19.

Who Becomes a Fisherman? A Two-Stage Sample Selection Analysis on Small-Scale Fishery Choice and Income in Korea

The sustainability of coastal communities is emerging as a primary topic in policy groups. In Korea, the multifunctionality of small-scale fisheries is being emphasized, and the government has attempted various policies, such as the promotion of in-migration and the fishery industry. However, despite the diverse alternatives, the population and fisheries have been continuously downsizing. This trend threatens the sustainability and pluralistic values of coastal communities. This study identifies the crucial determinants needed to expand small-scale fisheries and enhance the economic motivation for sustainable coastal communities. The analysis is conducted with a two-stage Heckman selection model using the Korea Fishery Census and the Agricultural Census. The estimation results show that the socioeconomic incentives and performance of fisheries in coastal areas are limited. In particular, although the policy pays attention to young, highly educated, and in-migrant groups, it seems to have a limited preference for small-scale fisheries due to economic, societal, and institutional constraints. On the other hand, the family-oriented fishing activities and self-governance unique to fishing villages in Korea could improve the multifunctionality of small-scale fisheries in Korea. In addition, when a fishery household engages in production and sales activities as a member of a fraternity or collective wholesale contract, economic outcomes significantly increase. The results suggest that it is necessary to sustain communal socioeconomic activities by opening up communities and adjusting specific operating systems of self-governance.
