Abstract
Prohibition of using cantrang fishing nets, which are formulated through the Regulation of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia No. 02 of 2015 and Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Regulation No.71 of 2016 caused many protests from fishing communities.This prohibition is based on the fact that cantrang nets are considered to be similar to trawling nets, which can damage the seabed ecosystem. Fishermen fight through various demonstrations. The problem in this research is how can the permit for the use of cantrang nets continue during the transition period until later the permit is revoked, there is no turmoil or conflict between fishermen? To overcome this problem, a need assessment step must be done.The long-term goal of this research is to study and make social engineering in terms of capture fisheries' policies to improve the welfare of fishermen through conservation of marine resources.The specific target of this research is to study; (1) strategies for the conservation of marine resources, (2) what needs to be fulfilled in the lives of fishermen, and (3) how to prevent illegal fishing activities from continuing.The method used is a qualitative research method. The researcher conducted an analysis of the primary data sourced from observation, participation observation, and in-depth interviews with the informants. The study was conducted in TasikAgung Village, Rembang Regency, Central Java.
