Mendukung Perikanan Tangkap Laut secara Berkelanjutan: Tinjauan atas bantuan pemerintah pusat dan provinsi terhadap perikanan tangkap laut di Indonesia

The report reviews public aid to Indonesia's marine capture fisheries, focusing on central government and three provinces: Aceh, Maluku, and North Sulawesi. It finds that while aid is significant—ranging from Rp 2.06 trillion in 2018 to Rp 11.01 trillion in 2019—it is often poorly targeted. Central aid is dominated by fuel subsidies and infrastructure, while provincial aid focuses on vessel and engine acquisition. The report warns that these 'input-based' subsidies can increase fishing capacity and pressure already overexploited fish stocks. It recommends deep-dive evaluations into five specific programs, including fuel distribution and vessel procurement, and calls for increased data transparency and a shift in success metrics from short-term production to long-term sustainable profitability.

• Central government aid to marine fisheries fluctuated significantly between 2018 and 2019, increasing from approximately Rp 2.06 trillion (~US$144 million) to Rp 11.01 trillion (~US$771 million), largely due to major infrastructure projects in 2019.
• Between 2017 and 2020, approximately 90% of central government aid was concentrated in two categories: variable cost input aid (primarily fuel subsidies) and infrastructure 'club goods' (construction and management of shared facilities).
• Provincial aid patterns vary by region: in Maluku and North Sulawesi, 60% to 80% of total spending is dedicated to the acquisition and modernization of vessels and engines, whereas in Aceh, 80% of aid is directed toward fisheries infrastructure.
• Fuel subsidies for vessels under 30 GT are identified as a high-risk priority for evaluation because they may encourage overfishing in areas where fish stocks are already fully exploited or overexploited.
• Evidence suggests that fuel subsidies primarily benefit vessel owners and operators rather than crew members (ABK), whose monthly incomes in several provinces remain below the district minimum wage (UMK).
• Fixed-cost aid for vessel construction and engines in provinces like Maluku and North Sulawesi risks increasing fishing capacity in vulnerable areas, particularly for pelagic species where data is limited and stocks may be overexploited.
• The report identifies five specific priority programs for urgent impact evaluation: central fuel distribution (SPDN/SPBN), vessel procurement in Aceh, small-scale (<5 GT) and medium-scale (15 GT) vessel procurement in Maluku, and engine provision and poverty alleviation programs in North Sulawesi.
• Official data transparency is insufficient, as most information is not public or is too aggregated, necessitating the use of interviews and unpublished documents to compile the report's database.
• Current government evaluations of fisheries aid rely too heavily on short-term fish production levels as the sole indicator of success, which can be counterproductive to long-term sustainability.
