Indonesia as a maritime country has great potential in the fisheries sector.
One area that has considerable fishery potential is South Sulawesi.
Fisheries potential in South Sulawesi can be utilized as a strategy for sustainable development through the blue economy concept.
The blue economy is a concept of sustainable development that utilizes the potential of the oceans and seas in a sustainable and responsible manner.
This concept includes three important aspects, namely sustainable economic growth, sustainable management of marine resources, and inclusive social development.
The blue economy in South Sulawesi can be realized through the development of a sustainable fisheries sector.
The fishery potential in South Sulawesi is quite large, especially for commodities such as tuna, snapper and shrimp.
The development of the fisheries sector in South Sulawesi must be carried out with due regard to sustainable aspects, such as good management of marine resources and the use of environmentally friendly technologies.
In managing marine resources, the government and society must work together to ensure that marine resources can be utilized in a sustainable manner.
In addition, the development of environmentally friendly technologies can help reduce the negative impact of fishing activities on the environment.
The development of a sustainable fisheries sector in South Sulawesi can have a positive impact on the local economy. Fishing activities can create new jobs for the community, increase people's income, and reduce poverty.
In addition, the development of the fisheries sector can increase exports of fishery commodities from South Sulawesi and help increase the country's foreign exchange and can have a positive impact on the tourism sector.
The existence of abundant fishery potential can be an attraction for tourists to visit South Sulawesi
Tourists can carry out activities such as coastal tourism, snorkeling and diving to enjoy the underwater beauty and marine biodiversity in South Sulawesi.
However, to optimally utilize fisheries potential, adequate infrastructure development is required.
The infrastructure in question includes ports, fish markets, and transportation networks.
A good port can make it easier for fishermen to access the sea and transport their catch to land.
In addition, a modern fish market can ensure that fishermen's catch can be sold at a fair price.
Meanwhile, a good transportation network can facilitate the distribution of catches to various regions inside and outside South Sulawesi.
To encourage the development of a sustainable fisheries sector in South Sulawesi, the government can provide various incentives to business actors and fishermen.
These incentives can be in the form of assistance with modern fishing equipment, capital assistance, as well as training and education to improve fishermen's skills in managing marine resources in a sustainable manner.
In addition, the government can provide tax incentives for business actors who carry out fishing activities in a sustainable manner.
In developing a sustainable fisheries sector in South Sulawesi, cooperation between the government, the community and business actors is also needed.
With good cooperation, it is hoped that the development of the fisheries sector can be carried out in a sustainable manner and is able to provide maximum benefits for the local economy and the environment.
Overall, South Sulawesi has great fisheries potential and can be used as a strategy for sustainable development through the blue economy concept.
The development of a sustainable fisheries sector can have a positive impact on the local economy, environment and tourism.
Therefore, cooperation between the government, the community and business actors is needed to develop a sustainable fisheries sector in South Sulawesi.
In addition, in developing a sustainable fisheries sector in South Sulawesi, it is also necessary to pay attention to aspects of sustainable management of marine resources.
This can be done by implementing policies that can ensure the sustainability of marine resources, such as setting catch quotas, limiting fishing methods that damage the environment, and limiting the use of hazardous chemicals.
In addition, the use of appropriate technology can also assist in the management of marine resources in a sustainable manner.
Technologies such as the use of satellites for monitoring fishing grounds and the application of environmentally friendly aquaculture systems can be a solution to address the problem of sustainable management of marine resources in South Sulawesi.
On the other hand, the development of a sustainable fisheries sector can also
