INTRODUCTION

West Papua is one of the USAID SEA project areas to strengthen the fishery management,

conservation and marine special planning, where USAID SEA Project engages various organizations.

The interventions will cover different levels of activities; provincial, district and community levels.

Bintuni and South Sorong are two districts selected to establish Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and

strengthen fishery management, which will be led by WWF, one of the USAID SEA Project

implementing partners.

A baseline survey has been carried out for Bintuni that will be utilized for designing the project

activities. USAID SEA Project is starting its second year work-planning. The USAID SEA core fishery

team, together with WWF field officials, have conducted site visits on the selected sites for Bintuni

for verification and identifying opportunities of interventions. A baseline survey for South Sorong

has not been carried out. The trip is useful to support the WWF team in identifying intervention

opportunities as well as coordination strategies led by USAID SEA core team to plan and smoothen

implementation.

OBJECTIVES OF ACTIVITY

This trip to West Papua Province was intended to visit potential fishery intervention sites for the

USAID SEA Project in Bintuni Bay and South Sorong. The trip was carried out from June 12 to 22,

2017 and was linked to the participation in the USAID Oceans EAFM workshop in Manado.

Overall the main objectives of the scoping trip to West Papua Province are as follows:

To gain insights on fishery practices at potential sites in Bintuni and South Sorong.

To identify opportunities of activities in potential sites in Bintuni and South Sorong.

To attend USAID OCEAN EAFM workshop.

SUMMARY OF PARTICIPANTS

The scoping trip to West Papua Province was conducted by the USAID SEA Core Team and WWF staff.

USAID SEA Core: Irna Sari, Christovel Rotinsulu

WWF: Candhika Yusuf, Irwanto

RESULTS

The findings in this report will supplement the technical baseline survey that has been conducted by

WWF and their next survey. The field trip focused on exploring the fishing practices of the

important commodities in the area; crab and prawn fisheries.

I. Crab Fisheries

We visited one crab fishing village, Wimbro, that was built by a prawn fishing company-PT. Jayanti,

established in early 1990s. The villagers were brought from Seram Island (may also have Sulawesi


descendants) by the company to work in prawn harvesting. The company provided houses and

other facilities. The company has since been closed, but the villagers are still occupying the village

and have become individual crab fishers.

Crab Fishing Practice and Access

Crab fishing is conducted around river banks (and canals) in estuary areas (with mangrove

vegetation). Fishers use 1-3 GT boats, with a canoe that is used to reach smaller canals. Fishers

catch baitfish using nets beforehand, catch crabs using traps, which are left for couple hours (even

overnight). According to the crab fisher’s wives (outsiders from Maluku), the fishers can leave their

families for one week, and may sleep at camps or boats. One vessel may employ 2-4 fishers,

including the boat owner. Crab fishing depends on tides, one month can have two fishing trips. The

harvest for one trip (one week) can be hundreds of crabs.

The local wisdom has a strong role governing natural resources access; in particular for outsiders.

They are subject to pay ‘fees/ retribution’. Migrant fishers, such as those from Seram, have to pay

fees/retribution to the Head of Adat/Marga Clan Heads. The interviewed crab fisher said that he

only harvested crabs in the fishing grounds where he has paid the fees to the marga clan. In his

view, the fees to the clan marga is considered as a fishing permit, legitimating for crab harvesting.

The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Office has attempted to acquire fishing permits, but this

has seen as a redundancy cost.

The respondent mentioned the revenue of his crab fishing ranges between 3,000,000 to 4,000,000

per trip, but this has not been deducted for operational cost and “hak ulayat” (customary rights) for

the local marga/clan (the interviewed fishers are outsiders and are required to pay “leasing fees” to

the local communities (marga/clan). Our interviews did not obtain detailed information on the

household revenue, the revenue may also include the share of other fishing crews. According to the

wives of crab fishers, the income is just sufficient to cover their daily needs and they are not able to

allocate for savings.

Market Governance

The market size for crab is <200 grams, and one respondent said that he usually releases catches

with sizes below 200grams. Crabs are marketed on a kilogram and individual basis; one Kg was said

to be Rp. 50,000/kg size 700grams. And for individual is Rp, 35,000 /piece. Fishers prepare for

individual basis.

The interview suggests that the awareness of local fishers on crab fishing is relatively high, for

example he was aware about the ban on catching berried female crabs. However, the perspective

on the unsuitability of crab industry is still considered low. The respondent said that crab would

never be over exploited or become extinct from the ecosystem because crabs have high

reproduction growth and one female crab could produce millions of eggs.

It was said by the crab collector that the share of berried crab could reach to 40% of the catches.

The fisher price for berried crab was said to be same, but the prices at the collection points could be

200% higher compared to the non-berried crab. There is a ban [also from his buyer –the second tier

buyer] and government regulation for berried crabs. But the ban is usually not too strict during

Chinese New Year (December –January); where the demand and price are at the highest. The

village collector takes advantage of this opportunity and requests fishers to target berried crabs. It

was said the hatch season could be indicated by the color of the mangroves leaves. They believe

that yellowish leaves indicate the crab hatch seasons.

Possible Threat for Crab Fishery

One crab collector interviewed --who has 20 fishers and has been doing the business since 10 years

ago--stated that the total volume for one shipment seems stay steady since he started (between


200 kg to 1 ton per shipment), but the individual catch per fisher tends to be declining. Nowadays,

fishers have to compete for the resources because more fishers are now harvesting crabs. The size

of the crab has also been changing, he said that the proportion of big size of crab (>700grams) was

higher compared to the current catches. The ratio in percentage decline is not known.

The collector interviewed is keen to collaborate for data collection. He is a university graduate and

can be targeted as a village facilitator or a champion for promoting best practices in crab fishing.

However, this may also conflict with his trade business practices; recommending fishers to target

berried crab when the demand and price are at the peak. However, his interest in promoting best

practices is a good sign.

Women Activities

The wives of crab fishers in Wimbro village mostly stay at home, and look after their families. They

manage the revenue of the harvest which is received in a weekly basis. It seems that many wives do

not have productive activities, not even doing the home-scale sustenance farming such as for

vegetables and root crops. The lack of land ownership in the area was said to hinder any intension

for land-based productive activities. Women may also do retail activities at home, but capital for

investment is a constraint.

II. Prawn Fisheries

The prawn fishery is primary fishing target in RKI village, Bintuni, and South Sorong. RKI used to be

a transmigration area, and was established under Suharto regime. People were from Java, and they

were provided fishing facilities by the government in partnership with the private sector.

Fishing Practices and Access

Prawn fishing in these areas is done on a daily basis. Fishers depart in the morning and return in the

afternoon. January to March was said to be the high season. The average catch is between 20-50 Kg

per trip. One boat may have 2-3 crew members, and the income is distributed on a sharing system

basis. With two crew members, the profit is usually divided into three shares; in which one share is

for the boat owner.

Local (traditional) tenure called as Hak Ulayat appears to be very strong for land possession and is

practiced in coastal areas. Marga/Clans control certain locations, therefore control for natural

resources access, in particular land. Outsiders are required to obtain permits from the Head of

marga (s) /clan (s) to acquire land, including establishing temporary shelters and buying points by

outsider fishers or buyers. There is no “sasi” (customary marine resources management system)

established in the area, but the church plays a significant role in local customs including conflicts in

natural resources access.

Outside fishers are required to obtain permits from the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Office (DKP)

and marga/clans where they plan to build their shelters. The outsider fishers submit a proposal to

DKP, and DKP directs them to the margas/clans to obtain approval for shelter (basecamp)

establishment. A contract (formal and informal) is developed to tie between parties regulating the

roles and responsibilities of each party. The outsiders pay “Fees” at an agreed price to the

marga/clan on a regular basis. The fees can be paid directly by fishers to the Head of marga/Clan

Head or can be paid through the buyers to whom the fishers sell their catches annually through

formal or non-formal agreements. Buyers coming from elsewhere also have to pay fees (lease) to

the Head of marga/clan. The fees mechanism regulates outsiders who establish settlements or

buying stations in an area. This leasing mechanism may vary between areas with the traditional

border system. For example, at one area, leasing mechanism regulates access to resources for land


and water (fishery stock); while at other locations, it only controls access for terrestrial resources.

Also, some communities (tribes) may establish local customs to control fishing practices or access

to other resources such as a ban to use nets or to fish along the river and to exploit mangrove

trees.

Although there are traditional mechanisms controlling natural resources access, for prawn fishing,

the traditional mechanism in South Sorong, does not govern access to fishing grounds. If outsiders

have obtained a “permit” from a marga/clan, they can fish at any fishing ground within the district.

Unlike in South Sorong, interview with a prawn fisher in Bintuni suggested that the local

communities (marga/clan) do govern terrestrial (for camps) and waters. He cannot catch prawn in

any fishing grounds. The shrimp buyers, whom fishers have business contract with, have to pay

“fishing licenses” for his/her fishers to harvest prawn at a fishing location, and to open the camp.

Due to this system, prawn fishers in RKI village, Bintuni can only fish in certain locations. However,

fees to fish only applies for the migrant fishers.

In South Sorong, the local customs regulate uses of certain fishing gears (assume to be less

selective gears) in important habitats. For example, net uses for prawning are prohibited in estuaries

(muara/ KALI river areas); only hand-lines can be operated. According to the staff of DKP, this

regulation aims to “limit” less selective fishing practices, usually operated by larger-scale outsider

fishers, to protect local ecosystem. The operation of nets is believed to lead to negative impacts to

the fishery in estuary areas, where the majority of local fishers operate.

Although there are local customs to regulate access to natural resources and fishing practices,

according to the South Sorong DKP, local policies (PERDA) as the umbrella for strengthening the

local customs are still lacking. The practices are being implemented on “tradition-norms basis” and

can be weakened if culture assimilation occurs along with the movement of migrants.

Market Governance

The local prawn markets are mostly centralized to Sorong for shipping to Surabaya for Japan. Due

to the geographical isolation, market access is limited to those buyers who open the buying points

in the areas or adjacent villages. It was said by prawn fishers interviewed, that the presence of the

buyers opening the buying points in the villages has been useful for the villagers. Before, they had

to sell their harvest collectively to the nearest town- 2-3 hours away by boat- or consumed by the

households. There are around three buyers with comparable business scale establishing buying

point in RKI village. In the visited villages in South Sorong, the number of buyers are higher but

have smaller capacities; and they do not have on-board processing facilities. One interviewed buyer

from South Sorong said that the yields are sold to Teminabuan (South Sorong town) to another

collector, indicating a longer distribution chain.

The buyers usually establish a ‘business contract’ – either formal or non-formal agreement- they

provide fishing facilities, including nets. The cost is deducted from the revenue. Oftentimes, they

may also provide financial support for other household needs. For example, an interviewed boat

captain of one collecting vessel said there around 25 prawn fishers selling their catches to them.

They come to the village with > 25GT collecting vessel and three tons of hold capacity. Their boat is

also facilitated with salt water ice block maker with production around three [3] tons per cycle (two

days). But they also produce freshwater ice block for handling the harvested prawn. Boats are also

facilitated with grading and storing facilities, before shipped to the processing company based in

Sorong and sold to Jakarta (detail supply chain cannot be suggested).

The buyers buy prawn from fishers based-on a root system-no size grading system- and grading

system. The price per kg of the root system was said for Rp. 50,000/kg, while the price of graded

harvest depends on the size. The yields are then graded on size basis and packed before the next


step. The grading is classified on the piece per kilogram basis: 11-16; 17-21; 22-25; 26-30; 31-35;

36-40; 41-50; >60. Higher means smaller in size of prawn and cheaper in price.

Government officials may “collaborate” with private sector (processor from outside) to “facilitate”

business relation with local fishers. For example, the Head of South Sorong DKP is in the process

establishing business access of a processing company from Sorong- PIALA Indofood that has a

license for exporting to Japan. The example of the contract draft is as below; it ties both parties to

as a buyer and suppliers, defines prices and processing company’s responsibilities to supply

operational needs including fuel and ice, fishing facilities (gears). The processing companies usually

establish buying points, which can collaborate or appoint their ‘extended arms’ in some villagers.

Currently, three [3] buying points have been established in Sogo, Mekemani and Konda of South

Sorong.

Figure 1: An example of formal contract between a processing company (buyer) with local fishers who are

represented by a head of fisher group.

The interviews and observation found catches with soft flesh and milky shell color; indicates

deteriorating quality. It was suggested by the buyers, oftentimes fishers do not handle their catches

properly. Some buyers enforce disincentives for bad handling considering that the degraded catch

is classified into the least grade and thus it should be sold at a lower price. Others buy catches on

the root basis- do not have a price incentive mechanism.

Women activities

Given to remoteness of the sites, opportunities for women engaging in economic activities is

limited. But, not like in most of fishing villages in Indonesia, women in South Sorong engage

directly in fishing and they usually go with their husbands. The female respondents stated their

roles include driving the boat, and removing catches from the nets, and catch handling. In RKI

village Bintuni, women may also work as daily labors on the collecting boats for sorting, grading

and packing.


Some women are involved in dried fish production, in particular during high season of small-pelagic

fish and low season of prawn where fisher target catfish. However, it is mostly for household

consumption. Markets were said to be lacking. Fishers catch catfish that is mainly used for local

consumption. Some women smoke the excess catches, and sell them to local markets (markets are

found to be very limited).

In addition to the existing activities, there is an opportunity for women in the village involved in

value adding for snapper (harvested to target air bladder). Flesh is sold at a very low price (Rp.

10,000/kg). Given to the big size of the fish, value added activities for this commodity is suggested.

Interview found an interest for value adding and market expansion trainings.

III. Government fishery management

Data and planning system

Fishery data is being collected by the data/statistic unit of the District Fisheries Office. Data can also

be centralized by the “Planning /program unit” of DKP. The e-database for fishery data has not

existed yet.

The Head of West Papua DKP is interested to learn and adopt the e-database and planning system

of Central Java. He learned it from a coordination meeting organized by national government. At

the initial stage, the intervention for e-data system could focus on capture fisheries. Scaling up can

also be done.

Based on the information of the Head of capture fishery unit, the provincial government does not

have a system to measure fishers’ socio-economic status and may not be aware of the impact of the

supports provided by the government.

Government fishery programs.

According to the Head of capture fishery unit of West Papua DKP, fishery interventions have been

developed based on proposals submitted by fisher’ groups. Most of the proposals require physical

supports including boats, engines and fishing gears. This suggests that a strong platform on fishery

strategic development and management has not existed yet.

The government has provided support to modernize local fishers, and improve fishing efforts.

However, the supports have not considered the existing stock and reference of fishing capacity

target.

DKP in both province and district levels focus to promote kartu nelayan (fisher card) that is needed

for accessing health insurance for fishers and government’s subsidy program such as subsidized

fuel. This scheme is being administrated by District level DKP, as part of the fisher empowerment

program which becomes the Fisheries office responsibility at the district level. The interviewed fisher

said that there are nepotism in selecting beneficiaries. Especially for them, as outsider fishers, were

often less prioritized to receive government supports. DKP has been very keen to establish fisher

groups as part of the fisher empowerment activities and as a channel to disburse government

supports.

According to the Head of DKP, issues related to fishery management include data, limited human

resource capacity, and processing. The Head of South Sorong DKP mentioned that last year

production was estimated for around 400 tons and there are around 700 fishers in South Sorong.

But the data was not obtained through actual data and cannot be verified due to the lack of reliable

data. Issues related to data tends to occurs at all levels, including community level, the smallest unit


of community institution. The Head of kampong (village) does not have a data, and he estimated

that there were around 200 vessels in the village; there is no fishery profile in the village of Konda.

Prawn buyers in the village do not provide any data to the Head of community.

The collaboration with private sector was also said to simplify government monitoring and data

collection. The Head of DKP said that the domination of the processing companies can help

government to obtain production data and monitoring.

Local fishers mainly engage in prawn and mud crab harvesting, while scads (small-pelagic harvested

on seasonal basis) are being harvested by outsider fishers. The involvement of fishers from Sorong

(was mentioned to be fishers with <10GT vessels) is seen as the source of local government revenue

generated from SIPI and SIUP (licenses for establishing and operating fishing business).

RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the findings above, below are recommendation of follow-up actions to consider in the

next year work plan of USAID SEA Project:

Mangrove conservation to support prawn and crab fisheries

Given to the important values of the crab and prawn fisheries in South Sorong and Bintuni, one

necessary step to take to ensure fisheries sustainability is to protect the mangrove ecosystem as the

important habitat of the fisheries. Mangrove deforestation in the sites visited is still very low,

current use by the communities is mainly for household needs. But some areas need to be

protected and reserved to ensure the sustainability of prawn and mud-crab fishery. Thus, MPA

establishment is suggested to focus on protecting mangrove ecosystem, and other critical habitats

for prawn and mud-crab, that may need to be identified.

The interviews suggested a strong perception on mangrove protection by locals, both from the

government and communities. Communities’ awareness on mangrove conservation has existed.

However outreach activities to introduce them about destructive exploitation on the ecosystem

should be conducted. District government has no longer authority on creating policies, and has not

yet established a policy to protect the mangrove areas. However, the Head of DKP stated that a

policy protecting mangrove ecosystem is needed and has to be developed based on the local

customs system; strengthening the local wisdom.

Asa consequence of Law No. 23, 2014, mangroves are no longer managed by the District

government. Mangrove conservation effort should be undertaken in close coordination with BKSDA

(KLH).

Possible mechanisms for district to recommend policy for local resource management are:

1. Coordinate with provincial government about the objective of the local resources

protection. It is important to engage with the technical units as well as the planning unit of

the provincial government

2. District needs to develop the draft policy (recommendation); engage with the District Head

(Bupati) and other relevant government units including Clan Head.

3. District sends and communicates the recommendation to the provincial government,


For South Sorong, because of the strong marga/clan on land tenure system, mapping the areas

and marga/clan is necessary. Marga/clan needs to be engaged in the process of socialization, and

consultation.

Also, there is a need of a study to understand the scale of mangrove areas needed to maintain the

current stock, ensuring the sufficient areas of mangrove are preserved for the maximum fishery

productivity. This may be carried out through a quantitative model looking the correlation between

prawn and crab stock with mangrove area (habitat).

Strengthening fishery management and data management system through government

planning interventions

The finding indicates opportunities for USAID SEA project to support in strengthening fishery

management. One of the strategies is USAID SEA project’s technical assistance in government

planning; including RESTRA and RPJMD; that can be used as the venue to introduce and promote

values of sustainable fishery management. During the meeting with the head of capture fishery unit

of west Papua DKP, USAID SEA can support the Strategic Plans for Capture Fisheries for Provincial

Mid-term Development Plan (RPJMD). The newly elected Governor has to develop RPJMD after six

[6] months of inauguration, that is due in December 2017. Below is the process of RPJMD and

RENSTRA development:

1. RPJMD developed by the Government team and Provincial Development Planning Agency

(BAPPEDA), they usually hire a consultant for developing RPJMD. According to the Head of

Capture Fishery, a consultant team from Yogyakarta was hired to develop the existing

RPJMD.

2. Once RPJMD is developed, each local bureaucracy (OPD) has to develop the Strategic Plan

(RENSTRA) which incorporates the development objectives of the newly elected

government.

For the meantime, what USAID SEA Project can support is providing “advice” and facilitating

discussion on development targets for fishery sector that can be used for RENSTRA Development.

Along with the potential support, USAID SEA project can also introduce better data management,

and strengthen the e-data system.

Private sector engagement.

The findings show a strong role of buyers (private sector) in both fisheries. With a good approach,

their roles can be leveraged in promoting and improving practices, including implementation of

USAID SEA Project. Thus, they need to be approached and engaged for consultation and

socialization of USAID SEA Project activities. A good database of the buyers is necessary. Buyers

record all transaction and name of fishers, this can be utilized to improve fishery data which

includes catches, fishers and vessels.

As an incentive, there is an opportunity for geographic and social branding for both fisheries, such

as it is harvested from a well-managed mangroves, small-scale fishers and remote areas that could

give more brand values to the products. Therefore, a more detailed supply chain study is needed. If

possible, a fair trade scheme--when there is demand at end markets--may be possible to explore.

Detailed value chains of both fisheries are necessary for developing the strategic implementation

model.


Community level activities.

Opportunities of community-level activities were also identified during the fieldtrip. Awareness

raising activities on sustainable fisheries principles and mangrove [ecosystem] conservation are

suggested as an entry point activity to be introduced and socialized to the fishers. Various events

can be utilized to convey the needs for MPA for fisheries [mangrove] conservation, better data for

planning, and how these are necessary to secure their livelihoods as well as to introduce and justify

Project activities in the sites/communities selected. The findings found some extent activities of

harvesting berried mud-crab. Another potential activity is to build awareness among the local

communities to avoid and or stop catching berried mud-crab.

Given to the strong interest of the provincial and district fishery officials for importing fishery data

and vessel registration, these activities can be synchronized with USAID SEA Project activities for

data collection, and small-scale vessel registration (SIMKADA). Engagement from DKP officials can

be maximized in these activities.

The fieldtrip found that prawn qualities were varied, some populations have started to deteriorate;

and there are some opportunities to add value for the less-valued commodities including estuary

catfish and snapper (harvested to target the air-bladder). Red-snapper is mainly consumed and the

market for fresh fish is low [price for one kg was less than $1]. Catfish is only caught during prawn

low season, and is only for household consumption. Women may smoke them, but the market is

still very limited.

Interventions for post-harvest handling, and value addition and market improvement are other

opportunities of community-level activities. The value addition and market expansion can alleviate

the decency of locals on prawn fisheries. Hence, it can reduce pressure on the prawn fisheries. Such

trainings can be done through training centers and the private sector (buyers) and modern retailers

for product banding/promotion; in particular in South Sorong where DKP has a strong linkages with

investors.

Improved engagement of DKP and other relevant government agencies and margas/clans

As the implementation of USAID SEA project is starting, active participation from the government

agencies and communities is essential. For the initial step, a coordination planning meeting with

DKP to synchronize USAID SEA Project activities with DKP’s priorities, if possible, as well as to

identify possible “co-share’ of provincial budget is necessary. The coordination meeting needs to

identify a sharing mechanism for provincial and district levels counterparts for each fishery activities

and Clan Heads.
