The strategy of productivity improvement of sustanable small-scale capture fisheries in West Aceh, Aceh Province was urgent for fisheries management. This research have been conducted for three months to begin from May until  July 2018. The aims of this study is to determine factors that affected Productivity improvment of sustanable small-scale capture fisheries and to develop strategies for improving productivity of sustanable small-scale capture fisheries in Aceh Barat, Aceh Province. The method used is a survey and study of literature. In addition to use a method of interview to social respondents. Data analysis methods are linear regression, descriptive and SWOT analysis. Results showed factors affected productivity of sustanable small-scale capture fisheries in Aceh Barat is capital, number of labour and the kinds of cpture boat.  While other factors such as the trip, age and level of college are  no effect. The strategy of increasing the productivity of sustanable small-scale fisheries in improving economy of fishermen in Aceh Barat district that can be applied: give subsidy, catching fleet and fishing and fishing equipment, financial management training, and financial institusional to provide alternative working for small-scale fisheries

Encouraging people’s pro-environmental behaviors is an objective of Education for Sustainable Development. In the context of small-scale fisheries, unsustainable fishing practices are compromising the integrity of coastal communities and ecosystems. Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) is an ecosystem modeling software that presents interactions/changes in the food web as a result of fishing. Despite the multiple applications of EwE in fisheries management, it is unknown from a quantitative perspective whether the application of EwE trophic modeling in environmental education processes and management produces effects on norms and ecological beliefs, and if it alters behavioral intentions of the participants receiving ecosystem modeling information. We conducted a behavior change intervention with gillnet fishers in the Gulf of Nicoya, Costa Rica, to compare antecedents of pro-environmental behavior between participants who received an ecosystem-based intervention (lectures containing EwE models; treatment) and those who received lectures that didn’t involve EwE (control). Based on theories of environmental psychology, we used a pre–post survey design, to evaluate changes between control/treatment, and to assess the influence of psychometric constructs and fishing characteristics on the behavioral intentions to support sustainable fishing measures and owning a fishing license (revealed behavior). Personal norms and values were significant at explaining management measures’ support, along with some fishing characteristics (e.g., fishing site). Deliberating about possible future scenarios (via EwE-modeling) helped reduce uncertainties, increasing legitimacy and a perceived behavioral control (PBC) to support measures. Currently, licenses in the Gulf aren’t granted under defined ecological criteria, and although altruistic-biospheric values scored highly before the intervention began, due to mistrust and high illegal-unlicensed fishing, fishers may be underestimating how much others care about the environment. Value-oriented and ecosystem-based interventions may assist to effectively redesign the licensing system and encourage fishers to support sustainable measures. Our research indicates the importance of education interventions that teach about the impacts of fishing in the ecosystem while helping participants to perceive themselves as capable of implementing actions (PBC) and expressing biospheric-altruistic values to restore trust. Redirecting human behaviors to reconnect with ecosystem resilience can be a leverage point for sustainability and for the compliance of small-scale fisheries management measures.

Pengelolaan perikanan dengan pendekatan ekosistem (Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management - EAFM) merupakan pilihan yang tepat dalam mencapai tujuan pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini penting untuk menilai status pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil dan menyusun strategi perbaikan pengelolaan menuju pada pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil yang berkelanjutan dengan pendekatan ekosistem di Kabupaten Rote Ndao. Penelitian dilakukan pada 11 desa/kelurahan di Kabupaten Rote Ndao, Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan teknik wawancara, pengambilan contoh ikan dan pengukuran hasil tangkapan ikan, mengacu pada metode penilaian indikator EAFM yang mencakup 30 indikator dari enam domain. Pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil di Kabupaten Rote Ndao berdasarkan hasil penilaian terhadap seluruh domain EAFM diperoleh nilai komposit berkisar 30,0 – 63,6 dengan nilai rata-rata 52,4. Nilai tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa status pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil di Kabupaten Rote Ndao secara umum tergolong dalam kategori sedang. Hasil penilaian menurut domain EAFM menunjukan bahwa domain ekonomi tergolong dalam kategori buruk, sedangkan domain sumberdaya ikan, habitat dan ekosistem, teknologi penangkapan ikan, sosial, dan kelembagaan tergolong dalam kategori sedang. Hasil ini menunjukan bahwa pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil di Kabupaten Rote Ndao belum dikelola dengan baik dengan menerapkan prinsip-prinsip keberlanjutan berdasarkan indikator EAFM. Peningkatan domain ekonomi yang terfokus pada indikator pendapatan rumah tangga perikanan dan rasio tabungan menjadi prioritas utama dalam upaya perbaikan pengelolaan perikanan skala kecil di Kabupaten Rote Ndao.Title: Strategy of Ecosystem Approach to Small-Scale Fisheries Management in Rote Ndao District, East Nusa TenggaraEcosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) is an effective method to manage sustainable small-scale fisheries. This research aims to evaluate the current status of small-scale fisheries management using EAFM indicators as well as to establish the development strategies of sustainable small-scale fisheries using ecosystem approach in Rote Ndao. The study was conducted in 11 villages in Rote Ndao District, East Nusa Tenggara Province. Data were collected through interviews, fish sampling and measuring referring to EAFM analysis covering 30 indicators grouped into 6 domains. The EAFM analysis generates a composite value ranged between 30,0 – 63,6 with an average value of 52.4. This number indicated that the condition status of the small scale fisheries in Rote Ndao was generally in moderate category. Economic domain is in poor category, while the other domains is in moderate category (fish resource, habitat and ecosystem, fishing technology, social and institution) These findings suggested that small-scale fisheries management in Rote Ndao has not been managed optimally based on sustainable principles in EAFM. Improvement in the economic domain focusing on indicators of fisheries household income and saving ratio were the main priorities for the improvement of small-scale fisheries management in Rote Ndao district
