Utilization of Sustainable Aquaculture Technologies to Increase Fisheries Production in Coastal Areas: Review and Recommendations

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of sustainable aquaculture technology in increasing fishery production in coastal areas, with a qualitative approach through literature study and literature research. Sustainable aquaculture technology offers innovative solutions to address fisheries production challenges, such as declining marine catches, environmental degradation, and climate change. This research focuses on the development of environmentally friendly technology, efficient use of resources, and adaptation to local ecosystems. The results of the study show that the use of technologies such as biofloc, aquaponics systems, and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) is able to increase the productivity and sustainability of the coastal fisheries sector. In addition, government policy support and active participation of coastal communities are key factors in the successful implementation of this technology. The main obstacles identified include lack of access to information technology, limited funding, and low environmental awareness. This study recommends the preparation of a continuous training program, strengthening collaboration between academics, the government, and industry players, as well as providing incentives for the adoption of sustainable technology. This finding is expected to be a reference for the development of an environmentally friendly aquaculture-based fishery production improvement strategy in Indonesia's coastal areas.
