Snapper and grouper fisheries management in Aisandami using the EAFM approach

Abstract

The coastal waters of Aisandami are rich in diverse coral fish resources, including snappers and groupers. A study is needed to evaluate how fisheries are managed in water. The present study was conducted to examine the implementation of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) for snapper and grouper fisheries by the community in Aisandami. The data used consisted of primary and secondary data obtained from various scientific publications. EAFM analysis focuses on six domains: fish resources, habitat and aquatic ecosystems, fishing technology, economy, social, and institutional. The results of the study show that in aggregate, the implementation of EAFM in the management of snapper and grouper fisheries is carried out well but is not yet optimal. Several components from each domain of the fisheries system still need to be improved to achieve the optimal EAFM-based management of fisheries.
