Fishery stakeholders in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi met on November 20th to review recommendations for target/limit reference points, harvest control rules and the MSC Pre Assessment that was sponsored by IMACS earlier in September. The meeting was in-part organized by APRI members whom are major buyers in the area. Department of Marine Fisheries at the Provincial Government have agreed to an official 10cm minimum carapace width that is in-line with the NFI Crab Council’s minimum size standard as well as a target reference point of 20% SPR. This agreement will be formalized in an official letter of appointment. Other harvest control rules still under review include modified fishing gears, closures for nursery grounds and modifications in fishing effort during spawning seasons. Also discussed were communication components that would help socialize compliance and enforcement of control rules.

Jump into a conversationPermen KP no 1 Tahun 2015 yang mengatur pengatur ukuran rajungan yang boleh ditangkap (>10cm WC) dan larangan menangkap rajungan betina mengerami telur (Betina Ovigerous). Namunn, Permen tersebut tidak berarti bagi keberlanjutan Populasi di alam jika tidak sosialisasikan dan pengawasan berkala pada tingkat nelayan dan Pengolah
Daging rajungan di lapangan.
Selama saya penelitian selama 1 tahun untuk disertasi saya dalam kajian Habitat, Biologi Reproduksi dan Dinamika Populasi Rajungan di Teluk Lasongko, Kabupaten Buton Tengah, kebijakan yang telah dikeluarkan APRI serta subtansi aturan dalam Permen tersebut masih belum dipatuhi oleh stakeholter terkait di tingkat lapangan (lokasi penelitian saya).
Terima kasih semoga info tersebut menambah kepedulian kita semua untuk keberlanjutan Rajungan di perairan Sulawesi Tenggara.
