Study on small-pelagic fisheries in the border regions between Indonesia - Timor Leste has taken place in Belu District, East Nusa Tenggara. It was aimed to assess the status of small pelagic management and formulate the strategic and tactical steps for implementing sustainable fisheries management. The study site took place at four villages at the sub-district of Tasifeto Timur and Kakuluk Mesak. Data were collected through interview techniques, observation, and measurement of 30 indicators from six domains of EAFM, ecosystem approach to fisheries management, of which assessment of each indicator within each domain was conducted and presented into the flag model.  Based on that results, tactical decisions and strategic planning were formulated. The results showed that small-pelagic fisheries management in Belu classified as a fairly medium category. Domain fish resources and fishing technology classified as a good category and domain habitat and ecosystem, social, economic and institution are classified as a medium category. To improve small-pelagic fisheries management in Belu District, several indicators are recommended for improvement in form of tactical and strategic management decisions

Abstract. Yuliana E, Boer M, Fahrudin A, Kamal MM, Pardede ST. 2019. Using ecosystem approach indicators for assessing the ecological status of reef fisheries management in a marine protected area. Biodiversitas 20: 1802-1810.  The purpose of this study was to assess the status of reef fisheries management in a marine protected area base on ecosystem approach indicators and to determine the tactical decisions required to improve management. The study site was in Karimunjawa National Park (KNP) Jepara, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using survey and observation methods and included both primary and secondary data. Coral fish, which were the object of the study was Caesio cuning, Caesio caerulaurea, Plectropomus oligacanthus, and Parupeneus barberinus. Determination of the status of each ecosystem approach indicator was conducted using the flag model. Tactical decisions were necessary to improve the status of management indicators. The results indicated that the ecological status of reef fisheries management of KNP is at a moderate level with an achievement value of 62.75% Tactical decisions are necessary to push the ten indicators to achieve a better level. Three indicators still received a poor status, and the remaining (seven indicators) were within the moderate status. Therefore, the three indicators that need to be improved quickly are fish abundance, fishing gear modification, and fishing capacity.

Pemanfaatan wilayah perairan di sekitar Pulau Bangka oleh sektor perikanan khususnya perikanan skala kecil semakin terdesak akibat daerah penangkapan ikan (DPI) yang semakin berkurang dikarenakan wilayah Izin Usaha Pertambangan (IUP) di laut semakin bertambah. Hal ini menyebabkan ruang gerak nelayan semakin sempit. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menilai status keragaan pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil berdasarkan Zona DPI yang dibagi menjadi 3, yaitu Zona A (DPI dengan IUP aktif), Zona A1 (DPI dengan IUP non aktif), dan Zona B (DPI tanpa IUP). Status keragaan dinilai melalui pendekatan Ecosystem Approach for Fisheries Management (EAFM) dengan menggunakan indikator pada domain sumberdaya ikan, habitat dan ekosistem, teknologi penangkapan ikan, sosial, ekonomi, dan kelembagaan. Hasil penilaian menunjukkan bahwa status pengelolaan perikanan pada masing-masing zona DPI yaitu Zona A dengan nilai total agregat sebesar 1.179,50 termasuk dalam kategori status sedang; Zona A1 dengan nilai total agregat 1.404,5 termasuk dalam kategori status baik, dan Zona B dengan nilai total agregat sebesar 1.377 yang termasuk kategori status sedang. Pengelolaan perikanan dengan keputusan taktis diprioritaskan pada indikator range collaps, kapasitas penangkapan, ekosistem terumbu karang, konflik perikanan, pendapatan nelayan, dan penguatan kelembagaan.The use of Bangka waters by the fisheries sector, especially small scale fisheries, is increasingly pushed due to the reduced fishing ground (DPI) because of the increasing area of   the Sea Mining Business License (IUP). This causes less space for fishermen. This study aims to assess the performance status of small scale fisheries management based on the DPI Zone which is divided into 3, namely Zone A (DPI with active IUP), Zone A1 (DPI with non-active IUP), and Zone B (DPI without IUP). Performance status is assessed through the Ecosystem Approach for Fisheries Management (EAFM) approach using indicators in the domain of fish resources, habitat and ecosystem, fisheries technology, social, economic, and institutional. The assessment results indicate that the status of fisheries management in each DPI zone, namely Zone A with an aggregate total value of 1,179.50, is included in the medium status category; Zone A1 with a total aggregate value of 1,404.5 is included in the good status category, and Zone B with an aggregate value of 1,377 which is included in the medium status category. Fisheries management with tactical decisions are prioritized on indicators of range collapse, fishing capacity, coral reef ecosystems, fisheries conflicts, fishermen income, and institutional strengthening.

The United Nations calls on the international community to implement an ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) that considers the complex interrelationships between fisheries and marine and coastal ecosystems, including social and economic dimensions. However, countries experience significant national challenges for the application of the EAF. In this article, we used public officials’ knowledge to understand advances, gaps, and priorities for the implementation of the EAF in Chile. For this, we relied on the valuable information held by fisheries managers and government officials to support decision-making. In Chile, the EAF was established as a mandatory requirement for fisheries management in 2013. Key positive aspects include the promotion of fishers’ participation in inter-sectorial Management Committees to administrate fisheries and the regulation of bycatch and trawling on seamounts. Likewise, Scientific Committees formal roles in management allow the participation of scientists by setting catch limits for each fishery. However, important gaps were also identified. Officials highlighted serious difficulties to integrate social dimensions in fisheries management, and low effective coordination among the institutions to implement the EAF. We concluded that establishing clear protocols to systematize and generate formal instances to build upon government officials’ knowledge seems a clear and cost effective way to advance in the effective implementation of the EAF.

Governor Decree of North Kalimantan No. 26 in 2014 concerning Management of Bombay Duck in the North Kalimantan Province Waters was established in order to address over-exploitation of bombay duck (Harpadon nehereus) population. Fisheries sanctuary is the feasible solution that was agreed by comprehensive stakeholder discussion. This research aims to extract and elaborate our experiences on establishing fisheries sanctuary in the Bangkudulis waters which focus on science communication and in the fisheries sanctuary planning. The acoustic and larva survey conducted to support the consensus and to proof the traditional ecological knowledge of the communities. The results showed that the proposed conservation area of the Bangkudulis waters has significant ecological function to ensure the sustainability of bombay duck population. The distribution and abundance of larva and juveniles were found higher in that area. The approach and challenges to deal with ecological and socio-economic aspects as well as recommendations were discussed in this paper.
