Model of investment reconstruction post moratorium of Cantrang fishing gear (case study: Makassar Strait Waters and Bone Bay in Indonesia)

Abstract

Cantrang is active fishing gear. The workings of the Cantrang, drawn on the bottom of the water and the size of the small mesh, included in the category of fishing equipment damaging the environment and marine biota. In the PERMEN-KP/2/2015, Cantrang can no longer be used. For survival, fishermen must replace or reconstruct the investment used. The research objective is to analyze and obtain a model of investment reconstruction that can provide maximum income to fishermen in the Makassar Strait and Bone Bay waters after prohibiting the use of Cantrang in the Republic of Indonesia fisheries management area. The study used 6 treatments, namely; Scenario 1 without reconstructing, Scenario 2 reconstructing the net, Scenario 3 reconstructing the rope, Scenario 4 reconstructing the boat, Scenario 5 reconstructing the machine and Scenario 6 reconstructing the investment thoroughly. The study was conducted in August 2016 - July 2017 in 3 locations namely Takalar, Pangkep district, and Palopo City. The research location was determined intentionally by considering the existence of Cantrang and representativeness of the waters of Bone Bay and Makassar Strait. Sampling using census method. Research result; (1) Scenario 1. has a MtpI value equal to 0 (zero), which means that without reconstructing investment, income equals 0 (zero) (2) Scenarios 2 and 6 have a positive MtpI value which means that reconstructing investment causes an increased income (3) Scenarios 3, 4 and 5 have a MtpI value equal to negative which means that reconstructing investment causes a decrease in income.
