INITIATION ON ECOSYSTEM APPROACH TO FISHERIES MANAGEMENT (EAFM): CASE STUDY ON TARAKAN FISHERIES
Abstract: An EAFM from a
global perspective is still moving towards on implementation. EAFM is based on
conventional fisheries management but broadens the perspective beyond seeing a
fishery as simply “fish in the sea, people in boats,” beyond consideration only
of commercially important species, and beyond management efforts directed
solely at the harvesting process. This research aims to initiate implementing
EAFM in Indonesia: case in Tarakan Fisheries, North Kalimantan Province. From
the initiate implementation of EAFM, we found that the possibility to improve
the performance on arrange fisheries management based on ecosystem approach.
EAFM could be used as tools to confirm scientific findings and gathering
initial information on fisheries. In the case, fisheries community in Tarakan
was put human well-being as important point to determine fisheries management,
rather than ecological well-being. To secure the fisheries the possible options
would arrange accepted and adaptable policy on controlling fisheries i.e. temporary
fishing closure in term of area and season.
