This article is intended to find out the extent to which the implementation of the blue economy has improved the welfare of the fishing community at TPI Brondong, especially from a maqashid sharia perspective. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method which tends to use more inductive analysis and a theoretical basis so that the focus of the research is in accordance with the facts in the field. The results of the research show that there are 2 programs in the implementation of the blue economy at TPI Brondong: 1. Good Fish Handling Methods (CPIB), namely maintaining the quality of fish, namely by paying attention to storage and handling fish properly when landed. 2. Measurable Fish Catching (PIT), namely changing fishing gear from cantrang to JALATONG so that the marine ecosystem is maintained. Because the quality is maintained and the fish caught are dominated by large fish, the selling value of the fish becomes expensive and automatically increases fishermen's income, especially from the perspective of maqashid sharia which shows that fishermen work in accordance with the basic elements or values contained in maqashid sharia which refers more to maintaining or maintaining wealth (Hifdzu Al-Maal).

Effects of eco-friendly fishing gears on fishermen's welfare and sustainable fisheries: Lessons learned from Indonesia

The eco-friendly fishing gears (EFFGs) have been widely suggested as fishing gears for sustainable blue economy development. This study aims to examine the effects of the utilization of the EFFGs of blue swimming crab (BSC) on fishermen's welfare and sustainable fisheries by taking Indonesia as a case study. The number of fishermen randomly sampled was 647. The method used to analyze the data was the Endogenous Switching Regression model. The results showed that factors that have significant positive effects on fishermen's decision to adopt the EFFGs are the membership of fishermen in fisheries groups, credit access to financial sources, decision synchronization, financial capability, and fishers' perception of environmental uncertainty. Meanwhile, the complexity of fishing gears and buyer pressure have significant negative effects on fishermen's decisions to adopt EFFGs. The results also confirmed that the welfare of BSC's fishermen is better off and received positive benefits for the preservation and regeneration of resources by using the EFFGs compared to the non-EFFGs. Therefore, the application of the EFFGs for BSC fisheries supports the sustainable blue economy development goals and needs to be recommended for other coastal areas in developing countries.
