This paper summarises the methodological approach and main results of the Coastal project (Employment and Human Resources in the Fisheries Socio-Economic System). This project had as its main aim the search for alternative futures for the fisheries sector in West Java, with particular attention being paid to the human resources situation and the working and living conditions of the fisheries-dependent populations in the coastal areas. This is a particularly interesting case, since fisheries were once an important activity and they are now in deep recession, even though it is generally recognised that the future utilisation of maritime resources offer an immense potential. As part of the research, a Delphi exercise was implemented involving in two successive stages some of the leading actors and experts dealing with the sector in West Java. Other initiatives were held in the context of the Coastal project providing direct and indirect inputs to the scenarios and recommendations that were put forward in the sequence of the Delphi exercise. Overall, the activities described in the paper contribute to the mobilisation of major actors and to discussions that may have practical implication for the future of the sector - if certain conditions are now met in the follow up to the project.
Goldfish is one of the most famous ornamental fish because of its body shape and color which was interesting to be maintained. The purpose of this research was to find the optimum dose of pumpkin and carrot flour combination on artificial feed to increase color brightness of goldfish. Complete Randomized Design with four treatments and four replications were used in the experiment. For the treatments, pumpkin flour 15%, pumpkin flour 7.5% with carrot flour 2.5% and carrot flour 5%, were studied. The parameters observed were color intensity, survival rate, and water quality. The results showed that supplementation of combination of pumpkin flour 7.5% with carrot flour 2.5% gave the highest color intensity of goldfish with TCF code 0815 and score 2.11 with 100% survival rate. Water qualities during the research were still in optimal condition.
Diversity of tourist attraction of the regencies/cities in West Java provides an alternative for travellers. One of the potential activity that can be utilized is coastal tourism. The main objective of this research was to provide a suitable site for tourism sites which can be used as a guide for government, private and planners to decide for the development of coastal tourism. Furthermore, visitors can use this application to get information about the beach resources—primary data in tabular data form and secondary data in vector format and satellite imagery format. ArcGIS was used for spatial analysis of thematic. Simple Additive Weighting method was used in this research to rank the factors and to calculate the weight in each factor. This method was commonly used for resolving spatial decision-making problems. The decision-maker directly assigns a weight of relative importance to each factor. There were 32 beach sites visited in the survey with 20 sites of suitable category and 12 sites belonging to a very suitable category. Pangandaran Regency has the most beach site at ten beaches (32.5%), consisting of 7 sites of suitable category and three sites of very suitable category. They are followed by Sukabumi which has nine sites, consisting of 7 sites of suitable category and two sites of very suitable category. The least number of sites were found in Cianjur regency, which only has three sites, consisting of 1 suitable site and two very suitable sites. According to the result, it can be seen that tourism was more developed in Pangandaran and Sukabumi regency. Besides the infrastructure support, natural conditions also influence the development of coastal tourism in the area.
The Ciletuh-Pelabuhanratu National Park area has been designated as a geopark area since 2015 by the Central Government and three years later, in 2018, it was designated as a Global Geopark Network by UNESCO. Since being designated as a geopark area, this area has been increasing a lot, especially in the tourism sector with the recorded number of tourists being 14,723,559 visitors in 2019-2020. The purpose of this report is to analyze the various regulations used in the management and development of the UNESCO Global Geopark area and their application through a study of the Attractions, Accessibility, and Amenities (3A) components of tourism. The results of this study state that the implementation of the policy for the development of tourism areas in Ciletuh Bay has not run optimally, marked by difficult accessibility also inadequate facilities and infrastructure. So, it requires cooperation from various parties, including the government, the private sector, and the surrounding community in the form of active participation and investment.
Tourism is a top priority in economic development strategies in Pangandaran District. The tourism industry in Pangandaran carried out along the coastal areas involved society around the site. However, the rapid development of coastal tourism in Pangandaran raises a variety of environmental and social problems that require management strategies. This research is done to draw up directives based on coastal developments in the district of Pangandaran beach tourism by applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in the SWOT analysis, which is commonly called as A'WOT. The results showed that the regional government of Pangandaran Regency conceives regional regulations regarding the use of coastal borders based on the resource potential and community participation. Furthermore, they also implement existing laws and regulations by involving the community to optimize supervision on activities that harm tourism. Finally, regional policies or regulations made by the Regional Government of Pangandaran Regency must follow the norms adopted by the local community. It is essential to know that coastal area of Pangandaraan has a unique system and natural system that could be as potential tourism activities.
Pangandaran fishermen use various types of fishing gear to catch fish, one of which is a liftnet. Floating liftnet fishing in Pangandaran is usually carried out at night, especially during dark months so that fish and cructaceans can gather in the area, as such animals are attracted to light (positive phototactic properties). These animals are deemed pelagic as they live on the surface of the waters. The weight and number of catch by fishermen are different depending on the time of hauling. Based on this, it is necessary to conduct research on the effect of the time of hauling on the floating liftnet catch. Accordingly, the optimal hauling time for floating liftnet fishing in Pangandaran was after midnight into early morning (00.00-04.00) and the average total catch is 386.12 kg. The main catch is mostly jawla paste shrimp and squid shrimp with a catch rate of 92.9 kg / hour.
