Pemanfaatan Sumber Daya Ikan Hiu dan Pari Secara Tradisional oleh Masyarakat Pesisir Papua Barat

Ikan hiu dan pari adalah komoditas perikanan penting di dunia dan memiliki peranan baik secara ekologi maupun ekonomis. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui jenis-jenis sumber daya hiu dan pari yang dimanfaatkan secara tradisonal oleh masyarakat di Kabupaten Sorong Selatan dan Kabupaten Teluk Bintuni Provinsi Papua Barat. Penelitian ini bersifat eksploratif dan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif. Data yang dikumpulkan berupa data primer dan sekunder. Data primer dikumpulkan melalui pengamatan dan wawancara langsung di lapangan. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa jenis ikan hiu dan pari yang dimanfaatkan oleh masyarakat di Kabupaten Bintuni dan Sorong Selatan adalah 16 jenis. Status dari masing-masing jenis berbeda, yaitu 3 jenis masuk dalam kategori Vurnarable (Sphyrna sp, Aetobatus ocellatus dan Rhinoptera javanica), satu spesies masuk kategori Endangered (Eusphyra blochii) serta 5 jenis masuk dalam kategori Critically Endangered. Pemanfaatan ikan hiu dan pari oleh masyarakat pesisir/nelayan di Kabupaten Sorong Selatan dan Kabupaten Bintuni berada dalam kategori pemanfaatan secara tradisional yaitu berupa produk olahan berupa daging ikan garam/asin dan dendeng. Sumber daya ikan hiu dan pari bukanlah target tangkapan masyarakat tetapi merupakan bycatch yang kemudian diolah secara tradisional. Kurangnya pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pentingnya menjaga sebuah sumber daya yang memiliki status perlindungan akan menyebabkan penangkapan dilakukan secara terus menerus pada jenis-jenis yang berstatus vulnerable (terancam punah) atau spesies yang dilindungi. Hal ini dibuktikan bahwa nilai nilai korelasi antara tingkat pemanfaatan dengan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang sumber daya ikan hiu dan pari rendah yaitu korelasi (r) sebesar 0.56. Title: Traditional Utilization of Shark and Ray Resources by Coastal Community of West Papua Sharks and rays are essential fishery commodities in the world and have a role both ecologically and economically. This study aimed to determine the types of shark and ray resources used and the traditional pattern of utilization by the people in South Sorong Regency and Teluk Bintuni Regency, West Papua Province. This research method is an exploratory and qualitative approach with a descriptive method. The data was collected in the form of primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through direct observation and interviews in the field. The findings show that there are 16 species of sharks and rays caught by the community in Bintuni Bay and South Sorong Regencies. Each species’ status is different and can be defined as three species in the vulnerable (Sphyrna sp, Aetobatus ocellatus and Rhinoptera javanica), one as Endangered species (Eusphyra blochii), and five species in the Critically Endangered species. The utilization of sharks and rays by coastal communities/fishers in South Sorong Regency and Bintuni Regency is still in the category of traditional use, namely in the form of processed products in the form of smoked fish meat, salt/salted fish, and beef jerky. The level of traditional utilization of shark and ray resources by the local community in South Sorong Regency and Bintuni Regency is relatively high due to the lack of knowledge of local communities about the status of these fishery resources, which have been used traditionally. Furthermore, this can also indicate that lack of public knowledge about the importance of maintaining a protected resource will then continue the effort to catch the vulnerable (endangered) or protected species. It is proven that the correlation value between the utilization rate and public knowledge about shark and ray resources is low, namely a correlation (r) of 0.56

Perikanan Ikan Terbang dan Perikanan Lainnya di Perairan Fakfak

Pemanfaatan sumberdaya perikanan di perairan Kabupaten Fakfak, Papua Barat dilakukan olehnelayan lokal dan pendatang untuk mengumpulkan telur ikan terbang dan produk ikan pelagis dandemersal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui keberadaan ikan terbang dan kapal penangkapikan lainnya, termasuk dimensi dan ukuran kapal, serta peralatan pendukung yang digunakandalam operasi penangkapan ikan untuk ikan terbang dan jenis ikan lainnya di perairan Fakfak.Penelitian ini dilakukan di daerah penangkapan ikan di perairan Fakfak dari Oktober hinggaNovember 2017. Metode pengumpulan data dilakukan secara deskriptif dengan teknik observasidan wawancara terstruktur. Untuk dimensi dan ukuran kapal, selain berdasarkan data pemeriksaanfisik kapal, dilakukan pencatatan terhadap kondisi fisik kapal dan kelengkapan peralatan kapalpenangkap ikan. Nelayan di Kabupaten Fakfak tersebar di sembilan kecamatan tetapi yangdominan adalah Kecamatan Fakfak, Kokas dan Karas. Jumlah kapal pengumpul telur yangberoperasi adalah pada tahun 2017 terdapat 170 kapal yang memiliki panjang 10-20 meter, lebar1,9 hingga 2,8 meter dan kedalaman 0,7-1,5 meter, dan ukuran tonase rata-rata 10 GT. Alatpengumpul telur ikan terbang di Fakfak adalah rumpon hanyut yang disebut bale-bale, dengansebanyak 50-100 unit per kapal. Jenis alat tangkap lain untuk menangkap ikan pelagis adalah bagan(lift net), pancing ulur (hand line), pancing tonda (troll line), huhate (pole and line), rawai (minilong line), jaring insang (gill net), pukat cincin kecil (mini purse seine) dan sero (traps). Untukikan demersal alat yang digunakan adalah dalam pancing ulur (hand line) dan jaring insang (gillnet).Kata Kunci: perikanan, kapal, alat tangkap, ikan terbang, Fakfa

Economic Prospect Of Fishing Egg Flying for Coastal Communities in Fak Fak District, West Papua Province

The economic value of the activity of catching eggs in the waters of the Fak Fak Regency of West Papua not only provides income for migrant fishermen from South Sulawesi but also for the people in the Fak Fak Regency who live in coastal areas. This study aims to provide an overview of the economic impact of flying egg fishing and the marketing channels of these flying fish eggs. Data collection was carried out in August and September 2017 in the coastal areas of Fak Fak and the Fak Fak Fishing Base and several other landing areas. Interview and questionnaire techniques used for data collection also used secondary data from various sources and previous research. The data collected was analyzed descriptively and displayed in graphical form and percentage to reveal facts based on field information. The results showed that in 2017 the production of flying fish eggs per ship ranged from 270 - 1,575 kg, with an average value of IDR 307,446,154. The fish egg marketing channel in Fakfak Regency has 3 main actors namely: producers (fishermen), collecting traders (Papalele) and inter-island traders (Makassar, Takalar). The percentage of costs provided by fly fishing include: (1) fuel and oil 28 %, (2) food supply 26 %, (3) coconut leaves (24 %), and (4) fishing permit (22 %). The economic benefits as an added value from the activity of catching flying fish eggs for the Fak Fak coastal community are the opening of other business opportunities such as coconut leaf providers, fuel and food ingredients providers, boarding or lodging owners, and grater eggs

Transforming knowledge systems for life on Earth : Visions of future systems and how to get there

Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating the societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this research we used a novel futures-oriented and participatory approach that asked what future envisioned knowledge systems might need to look like and how we might get there. Findings suggest that envisioned future systems will need to be much more collaborative, open, diverse, egalitarian, and able to work with values and systemic issues. They will also need to go beyond producing knowledge about our world to generating wisdom about how to act within it. To get to envisioned systems we will need to rapidly scale methodological innovations, connect innovators, and creatively accelerate learning about working with intractable challenges. We will also need to create new funding schemes, a global knowledge commons, and challenge deeply held assumptions. To genuinely be a creative force in supporting longevity of human and non-human life on our planet, the shift in knowledge systems will probably need to be at the scale of the enlightenment and speed of the scientific and technological revolution accompanying the second World War. This will require bold and strategic action from governments, scientists, civic society and sustained transformational intent.Peer reviewe
