EVALUASI PENGELOLAAN PERIKANAN TUNA BERDASARKAN PENDEKATAN EKOSISTEM DI KABUPATEN PULAU MOROTAI

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan tingkat keberlanjutan setiap domain atau aspek dalam EAFM dan menentukan tingkat keberlanjutan kegiatan perikanan tuna di Kabupaten Pulau Morotai. Metode pengambilan data dilakukan dengan metode survei dengan cara wawancara/kuesioner dan FGD (Focus Group Discussion). Penentuan jumlah sampel menggunakan purposive sampling. Dengan analisis pendekatan EAFM, nilai komposit rata-rata seluruh domain berkisar antara 60-80 yang mencerminkan status dan kinerja sumber daya perikanan tuna yellowfin di Kabupaten Pulau Morotai yang baik dalam tingkat keberlanjutannya dengan menerapkan prinsip-prinsip EAFM. Namun, masih ada sejumlah indikator di setiap domain yang memiliki skor rendah sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk meningkatkan manajemen.EVALUATION OF TUNA FISHERIES MANAGEMENT BASED ON ECOSYSTEM APPROACH IN MOROTAI ISLAND DISTRICTS. This study aims to determine the level of sustainability of each domain or aspect in the EAFM and determine the level of sustainability of tuna fishery activities in the Morotai Island Districts. Methods of data taking was carried out with survey method by means of interview/questionnaires and FGD (Focus Group Discussion). Determination of samples quantity used purposive sampling. By the EAFM approach analysis, the average composite value of the entire domain was range of 60-80 which reflects the status and performance of yellowfin tuna fisheries resources in Morotai Island Districts was good in its level of sustainability by applying EAFM principles. However, there were still a number of indicators in each domain that had a low score so efforts are needed to improve management.
