Abstract

This research assessed the sustainability of glass eel management in the Cimandiri Estuary and River. The evaluation utilized the framework of the seven domains of ecosystem-based fisheries management specific to inland fisheries. The study commenced in December 2024 and concluded in March 2025. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations involving 106 respondents, which included fishermen, glass eel users, collectors, large-scale collectors, and stakeholders such as fisheries extension workers, fisheries experts, and local agencies involved in fisheries management. Secondary data were gathered from government agency reports, literature reviews, and previous research references. The questionnaire was designed based on technical guidelines to assess indicators within each domain, and responses were measured using a Likert scale. The scoring criteria ranged from 1 to 3 to evaluate the opinions or perceptions of the respondents. The results showed composite scores for three domains: fishing techniques scored 1,056, governance scored 993, and stakeholder involvement scored 794, all indicated by a green flag. In contrast, the scores for the remaining four domains were: resource environment at 1,090, social factors at 932, economic aspects at 694, and fish resources at 698, represented by a yellow flag. The aggregate score across all seven domains was calculated to be 894, indicating that the sustainable management of glass eels in the Cimandiri Estuary and River is at a good level according to the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) assessment. However, strategies are still needed to maintain and improve the areas that are currently underperforming.
