Abstract. Asrial E, Marzuki M, Hamid, Khasanah RI. 2021. Sustainability analysis of tomato jellyfish (Crambione mastigophora) fisheries resources management in Saleh Bay Waters, Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 22: 512-520. The tomato jellyfish (Crambione mastigophora) or gullung (local term), is endemic in Saleh Bay, Sumbawa Island, Indonesia and has been utilized as an additional livelihood by fishermen for last two decades. Its commonly caught by 2-4 fishermen/boat using scoop net, wooden fishing vessels, and lamps as attractors and collectors of jellyfish. This study aims to determine the sustainability of jellyfish fisheries management. A survey-dependent method with sampling, observation, dialogue, and documentation techniques was applied for data compilation. The rapid appraisal for jellyfish fisheries - six dimensions (Rapjellyfish-6D), based on Rapfish technique, is utilized for analysis of the sustainability status of jellyfish fisheries management. This paper describes the sustainability analysis results for two of the six dimensions of jellyfish fisheries management, namely the technological dimension (13 attributes) as an input factor and the economic dimension as an output factor (14 attributes). At present, around 8-30 baskets/boat/day of jellyfish mouth-arms are being sold to the buyers in Saleh Bay. This catch's profit is divided between the fishermen (3 parts) and the boat owner (2 parts). The analytical results show the revenue per cost ratio (R/C Ratio) as 4.75 which means that every 1.00 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) the cost of catching jellyfish will generate IDR 4.75. The breakeven point (BEP)Price is IDR 13,158 and BEPProduction is 3.13 and 8.33 baskets/trip for the assumed price of IDR 80,000 and IDR 30,000. The technological (36.13%) sustainability status and economic (49.64%) dimension is Less Sustainable. The leverage analysis results indicate that the group of sensitive attributes in the technological and economic dimensions, respectively, consists of 5 attributes and 3 attributes. All sensitive attributes have an impact on the low value of management sustainability. The sustainability of jellyfish fisheries management in Saleh Bay has been supported by a choice of environmentally friendly fishing methods. Besides, the mouth-arm price is formed from an oligopsony market system that is not profitable for fishermen. It is suggested to the village government to build an integrated and environmentally friendly scyphozoan facility to neutralize the liquid waste generated from scyphozoan processing.

International policies in environmental protection and resources management in the Great Lakes have evolved in three fields: water quantity and quality management, fisheries management, and air pollution abatement. The general segregation of policy development ignores the complex interplay among air, water, and fisheries resources and the potential to direct wastes to selected receptors. Approaches to environmental and resources management do not deal effectively with root causes in a sufficiently broad context. Socioeconomic information is not used effectively either as yardsticks of environmental quality or as compelling arguments for remedial programs. New approaches are needed toward resources management cum environmental policy, with emphasis on participatory planning across resource sectors to optimize a diversity of long-term benefits to society. Strong political leadership is required to depolarize jurisdictional and bureaucratic empires. The International Joint Commission and Great Lakes Fishery Commission should collaborate to help in identification of issues and root causes, to encourage strategic planning with resource sector and public participation, and to take a broad overview of societal goals and public policy in relation to recognized finite capacity of the Great Lakes ecosystem to maintain quality of life as a long-term premise.Key words: ecosystems, resource management, fisheries management, environmental legislation, international cooperation, international agreements, sociological aspects

<em>Abstract.—</em>Urban and community fishing (UCF) projects are viewed as a way to provide easily accessible fishing opportunities to an increasingly urbanized society, thereby retaining and recruiting anglers and maintaining support for conservation of fisheries resources. Nearby, out-of-city fishery resources provide an option for development of UCF opportunities by municipalities lacking aquatic resources that can support recreational fishing. Examples of out-of-city fishing sites used as part of UCF projects in eight states are summarized. These out-of-city fishery resources not only provide relatively accessible fishing opportunities, but they also provide more diverse and often more natural fishing experiences. This diversity of fishing experiences may be useful for satisfying a broader angler constituency and aiding the transition of anglers from urban to more traditional, rural fisheries. Inclusion of out-of-city fishery resources in UCF programs can benefit from partnerships between state fisheries management agencies and municipal agencies and organizations.

AbstractSatellite-based vessel monitoring systems (VMS) are a relatively new technology that assist fisheries management authorities in data-gathering and ensuring compliance with management objectives. In comparison with traditional means of data-gathering and monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS), satellite-based VMS offer considerable advantages in cost-effectiveness, especially if applied at the regional level. Before opting for a satellite-based VMS, however, fisheries management authorities should realise that a number of limitations exist, that it may not be the most cost-effective in all circumstances and that the issue of the confidentiality and security of information will be crucial to co-operation and compliance. The main focus of the article are the relevant rights and obligations of states under international law. The analysis concludes, among other things, that significant legal restrictions exist in the exercise of jurisdiction by port and coastal states with respect to foreign fishing vessels in lateral passage, conditions for entry into port and foreign vessels engaged in bunkering of fishing vessels.

Since agreement was reached in 1982 on the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, and particularly since the conclusion of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development, the rate of development of global instruments impacting on fisheries has escalated considerably and is apparently continuing to do so. A flood of global and regional instruments relevant to fisheries has been generated, including, for example, the 1973 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora which pre–dates the UN Convention, the 1992 Convention on Biological Diversity, 1992 Agenda 21: Programme of Action for Sustainable Development, the 1993 FAO Agreement to Promote Compliance with International Conservation and Management Measures by Fishing Vessels on the High Seas, the 1995 UN Agreement for the Implementation of the Provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks, the 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and its four international plans of action and strategy, and the 2001 FAO Reykjavík Declaration on Responsible Fisheries in the Marine Ecosystem reflecting the growing international interest in ecosystem approaches to fisheries. Most recent has been the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development's Plan of Implementation. These instruments have been motivated by real problems associated with environmental degradation and living resource depletion, in several cases specifically in connection with fisheries. They have attempted to address these problems, and each instrument is recognized as being a positive contribution towards the sustainable use of resources and ecosystems. However, taken collectively they form a large, often confusing and potentially overwhelming set of recommendations and requirements that is putting many fishery management agencies under severe pressure as they seek to implement them. This paper provides a brief overview of the range of recent instruments and their implications for sustainable fisheries management, considers the progress being made in implementing them, identifies general problems being encountered and how they might be ameliorated in the future. A key problem is a lack of political will, or political ability, to address effectively the problems facing fisheries and marine ecosystems. One consequence of this is that the agencies charged with fisheries management are not provided with adequate technical and financial capacity to implement the instruments in most, if not all, countries. The problem is especially acute in developing countries where they are strained by the full effects of ‘instrument implementation fatigue’.

For many years, fisheries management was based on optimizing yield and maintaining a target biomass, with little regard given to low-frequency environmental forcing. However, this policy was often unsuccessful. In the last two to three decades, fisheries science and management have undergone a shift towards balancing sustainable yield with conservation, with the goal of including ecosystem considerations in decision-making frameworks. Scientific understanding of low-frequency climate–ocean variability, which is manifested as ecosystem regime shifts and states, has led to attempts to incorporate these shifts and states into fisheries assessment and management. To date, operationalizing these attempts to provide tactical advice has met with limited success. We review efforts to incorporate regime shifts and states into the assessment and management of fisheries resources, propose directions for future investigation and outline a potential framework to include regime shifts and changes in ecosystem states into fisheries management.
