The spatial vulnerability of fisheries resources for sustainable management

Professional management and promoting sustainability have not been well applied in the Sunda Strait waters. Accurate data and information will determine the success of an optimal and sustainable pelagic capture fisheries management model. The purpose of this study was to explore spatial fisheries and analyze the spatial vulnerability of fisheries resources for sustainable management. This research was conducted in the Sunda Strait waters. Data on catches and the distribution of fishing grounds indicate that fisheries conditions in the Sunda Strait are not in good economic and ecological conditions. Excess capacity in a small-scale fisheries area will disrupt the sustainability of fish resources in the area and affect the biomass supply. Management must be carried out by considering sustainability for the long term and contributing to ecological sustainability, economic efficiency, and the efforts of the local fishing fleet.
