Abstract
Fisheries as a common-pool resource (CPR) provides a classic case of open access dilemma: competition for yields is often fierce and the absence of access management could lead to conflicts. Availability, quality, and diversity of fishery resources in sufficient quantities are the foundation of fisheries management for present and future generations. Indonesia’s governing body, or more broadly, the governance, should be the moving force in producing policy outcomes involving coordination of conservation efforts to regulate extractive uses of natural resources. This paper briefly reviews the Indonesian fisheries policy as a CPR, its indicators, and its implication for the local fishing ecosystem.
