Small island development based on the capture and mariculture feasibility at three islands in Kepulauan Seribu

Abstract

Kepulauan Seribu consists of small islands that have enormous fishery potential that can be a fisheries investment. The existence of investment in fisheries business by considering the carrying capacity is expected to ensure the results of capture fisheries or mariculture production from fishery businesses, which can affect the needs of the Kepulauan Seribu citizen. The purpose of this study is to analyse the carrying capacity of fishery business investment in Kepulauan Seribu with a business feasibility method approach so that it can be carried out sustainably. The research method was built by survey and observation with a feasibility study and multi-criteria analysis. The main potential of capture fisheries in Harapan Island, Kelapa Island, and Kelapa Dua Island are tuna, yellowtail fish, and squid, while mariculture product is grouper. Capture fishery or mariculture activity at the research location has met the investment criteria to be feasible. Capture fishery and mariculture activity in Kelapa and Harapan Islands have the better carrying capacity for investment based on ecological, economic, and social aspects. Therefore, the development of Kepulauan Seribu must be carried out based on the feasibility of development and investment by considering the community's ecological, economic, and social aspects.
