Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the status of the ecosystem approach to fisheries management (EAFM) in the Fishing Technique Domain for shrimp commodities in South Sorong Regency. This research was conducted in September 2018 and took place in the South Sorong Regency of West Papua Province precisely in Teminabuan District, Konda District, and Inanwatan District. The data collection technique used in this study is observation where the researchers conducted a direct observation of the object of the research to see the activities in the area closely. From the results of the study, the analysis of EAFM composite index in the domain of fishing technique in South Sorong Regency showed that destructive fishing for banana shrimp (Penaeus merguiensis) is in good condition with a green modeling flag and an average value of 3. In this study, the indicators of fishing gear and fishing aids modification, the indicators of fisheries capacity and fishing efforts, as well as capture selectivity are in good status.
