Abstract

Pangpang Bay, located in Banyuwangi Regency, is characterized by its mangrove forests, which are utilized for various purposes, including capture fisheries, Pacific white shrimp farming, and mangrove conservation. Among these uses, small-scale fisheries represent the most significant potential in capture fisheries; however, their sustainability may be affected by climate change. This study aims to assess the sustainability of small-scale fisheries in Pangpang Bay. To achieve this, the Rapfish methodology was employed to analyze the vulnerability of these fisheries to both small-scale and coastal factors. This research employed a descriptive method using a quantitative approach. The parameters assessed included newly introduced dimensions, specifically, coastal vulnerability and capture fisheries vulnerability, alongside other dimensions derived from the Rapfish technique. The data analysis method used was the Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries (Rapfish) sustainability analysis. The results indicated that the sustainability status of small-scale capture fisheries in Pangpang Bay, Banyuwangi, with an MDS (Multidimensional Scaling) value of 47.25, was classified as less sustainable. Conversely, dimensions with MDS values exceeding 50 are considered moderately sustainable, particularly in the domains of coastal vulnerability, resources, and technology. It is recommended that policymakers address the challenges posed by climate change, through measures such as mitigating its adverse impacts, enhancing the capacity of small-scale fishers, integrating efforts among relevant stakeholders, and strengthening regulation and law enforcement.
