Tulisan ini menjelaskan perkembangan kegiatan penangkapan dan produksi perikanan laut Indonesia pada kurun waktu 22 tahun terakhir. Jumlah dan daya tangkap armada perikanan laut telah berkembang pesat dan menghasilkan peningkatan produksi perikanan. Perkembangan produksi tersebut cenderung melambat pada 10 tahun terakhir dan mendekati level-off, namun volume produksi ikan tersebut tidak mencapai tingkat optimalnya. Beberapa permasalahan yang menyebabkan capaian sub-optimal tersebut antara lain adalah terjadinya overcapacity pada armada perikanan yang berdampak terjadinya overfishing, struktur armada perikanan yang didominasi perahu dan kapal berskala kecil yang beroperasi tidak jauh dari pantai menggunakan alat tangkap dengan selektivitas rendah, dan adanya praktek penangkapan ikan secara ilegal. Permasalahan lainnya adalah karakteristik sumberdaya ikan yang terdiri dari banyak species yang bermigrasi ke dan/atau dimanfaatkan bersama oleh nelayan dari daerah atau negara yang berbeda. Pengendalian upaya penangkapan ikan dalam kerangka pengelolaan perikanan dengan mempertimbangkan hal-hal tersebut perlu dilakukan untuk optimisasi produksi lestari. Pilihan pengendalian untuk masing-masing wilayah pengelolaan perikanan dijelaskan pada tulisan ini.This paper describes the development of fishing activities and marine fisheries production of Indonesia during the last 22 year period. The number and fishing power of fishing fleet increased considerably, resulting in higher quantity of marine fisheries production. The growth of the production tends to be slower in the last decade approaching a level-off. However, the quantity of production was much lower than the optimal level. Some problems causing this suboptimal achievement included overcapacity of fishing fleet resulting in overfishing, domination of the fishing fleet by small-scale boats operating less selective fishing gears in the waters close to coastal areas, and illegal fishing practices. Another problem was multispecies nature of fisheries, with some fishery resources migrated to and/or were shared amongst fishers from different districs, provinces or countries. Control of fishing effort in the fisheries management famework taking into account these matters should be conducted in order to optimise sustainable production. Alternative control measures for each fisheries management area are explained here.

The Common

Vickers Hot Springs is located near the rural Southern California town of Ojai, and local residents have long enjoyed soaking in the sulfuric pools. But as knowledge of the springs spread, the area saw increases in fights, traffic, burglaries, and drug use. In response, two residents purchased the land and committed to restore the property while allowing limited public access, subsequently generating a great deal of controversy within the community. Privatizing Vickers Hot Springs follows the archetypical lesson of Garrett Hardin's 1968 essay, “The Tragedy of the Commons.” Hardin stated that the problem for common-pool resources was that a finite amount of services are demanded by a potentially infinite number of users, who have little to gain by sacrificing for the common good. But Hardin's theory does not always apply. Many communities have come together to manage resources, often without government oversight. Thus, the question is not whether or not Hardin's theory is accurate, but rather “under what conditions it is correct and when it makes the wrong predictions.” Case studies provide nuance to the broad brushstrokes of a theory, and whether Hardin's parable is applicable depends on the particularities of the common property resource conflict. Employing the frameworks established by Hardin, Dietz et al., and Ostrom, this paper examines the management of Vickers Hot Springs within its broader social, ecological, and political context, asking whether the particular circumstances of this resource use conflict made privatization the most predictable outcome.
