Abundant evidence reveals corporations are now recognizing that aligning business operation with sustainable ways adds more value. Previous literature shows sustainability has become a strategic imperative for all businesses. Apart from that, having a sustainable building in their asset portfolio contributes towards achieving the management strategic corporate goals. Therefore, this research aims to discuss what are the corporate goals or corporate expectations from going green. In conjunction with that, secondary data collection was thoroughly reviewed from previous studies. Then, primary data consolidates via questionnaire distribution on 117 persons directly involved in green management. The data then analyzed via relative importance index (RII) to identify the importance level for expected corporate goals. Derivation of deeper conceptual findings uses the sustainable triple bottom line theory as a guide. The result indicates four major goals of corporations including the environment, maximization of economic value, and minimization of economic and social costs.

The research is aimed to reveal opportunity development of the capture fisheries in Talaud Islands Regency by using bionomy approach with Gordon-Schaefer model (Fauzy, 2005) con-cerning the dominant of illegal fishing activities around the area. The research was started by co-llected some secondary data on fish production and number of fishing units. Primary data were collected on catch composition and types of fishing gear. Gordon-Schaefer methods was applied to evaluate the tuna and skipjack resources in the area. The troll and pole and line are indicated as the dominant fishing gears used to catch the skipjack and tuna. In case of open access condition, the production will end up to 25,09 tons, while the resource rent will be end up to zero. For the development, simulations were exercised in 3 scenarios: 1) scenario of enhancing domestic fleet, 2) scenario of illegal fishing, and 3) scenario of net surplus. With those scenarios, if the illegal fishing could be eliminated, the capture fisheries in this regency could render economic value to 10 billion rupiah.

General waters of Central Kalimantan with an area of around 2.29 million Ha is a habitat for freshwater fish, both of which have important economic value and ecological value. Diversity of fish species is a potential for fisheries production both as consumption fish, fish traded between regions and ornamental fish. Based on the latest data, there are 267 species of fish in the public waters of Central Kalimantan and 92 species of which are included in the category of ornamental fish species (Central Kalimantan Marine and Fisheries Service, 2010). Batu Lake is located in Sigi Village, Kahayan Tengah District, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province.

Ruaya fish means adjustment, confidence in conditions that benefit existence and for the reproduction of species with active and sometimes passive movements from one place to another. Effendi (1997) groups the family in the interests of spawning, ruaya to enlargement and food areas and refugee homes to avoid da ri place that is in a bad condition. This research is an effort to introduce the potential of freshwater natural resources in the Lake Batu District of Pulang Pisau in the form of ornamental fish. The inventory activity will provide information about potential types of ornamental fish with all the values of their superiority or attraction so that they can become superior commodities. This research was carried out in Batu Lake (2º 08'23.26 "S 113º 57.11'11.97" E) in Sigi Village, Kahayan Tengah District, Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province. Collection is done by exploring primary and secondary data about the characteristics of biology, water quality. Water quality measurements are carried out directly in the location to obtain primary data, while secondary data is carried out through interviews with the community. The data obtained is then analyzed and explained in qualitative and quantitative descriptive so that it can provide representative information for the development of ornamental fish.
