Abstract

Marine conservation area is established to protect coastal and marine resources from water pollution, climate change, and over-exploitation. This research aimed to assess social, economic, and cultural sustainability, and fishermen individual characteristics as part of the fishery extension system in the management of local marine conservation area (KKLD) of Mayalibit Bay in Raja Ampat Regency, West Papua. Since the establishment of KKLD in Mayalibit Bay, patrols and monitoring activities have not been optimally performed. The area was purposively selected because the local marine conservation area of Mayalibit Bay is under the management the TPPKD with sea and terrestrial accessibilities from Waisai, the capital city of the regency. The research applied index evaluation and sustainability status data analysis using a Rap-FISHEXCOME technique. There were three major stages of data analysis: (1) determination of attributes of fishery extension dimensions; (2) evaluation of each attribute at an ordinal scale according to the sustainability criteria of each attribute; and (3) sustainability index ordination analysis using the MDS method. The social, economic, and cultural dimension indices with 10 attributes resulted in 53.57 sensitive attributes and the local fishermen personal characteristics with 14 attributes resulted in 64.84 sensitive attributes. These results proved a fairly sustainable status.
