https://nusantara-research.com/index.php/coastal-and-marine-journal <p>Coastal and Marine Journal provides an international forum for publishing papers in fisheries science, fishing technology, fisheries management, sustainability of fisheries, coastal and ocean management, relevant socio-economics, and the conservation of exploitable living resources. The scope covers marine fisheries, brackish systems, all aspects of associated ecology, environmental aspects of fisheries, and socio-economics. Both theoretical and practical papers are acceptable, including laboratory and field experimental studies relevant to fisheries. The journal is intended for fisheries scientists, biological oceanographers, gear technologists, economists, managers, administrators, policymakers, and legislators.</p> en-US <p><a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" rel="license"><img style="border-width: 0;" src="https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by-sa/4.0/88x31.png" alt="Creative Commons License" /></a><br />This work is licensed under a <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/" rel="license">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License</a>.</p> <p><span class="VIiyi" lang="en"><strong><span class="JLqJ4b ChMk0b" data-language-for-alternatives="en" data-language-to-translate-into="id" data-phrase-index="0" data-number-of-phrases="5"><span class="Q4iAWc">Copyright Transfer Terms</span></span></strong></span></p> <ul> <li><span class="VIiyi" lang="en"><span class="JLqJ4b ChMk0b" data-language-for-alternatives="en" data-language-to-translate-into="id" data-phrase-index="2" data-number-of-phrases="5"><span class="Q4iAWc">The author in submitting online understands that if the manuscript is accepted for publication, the copyright of the manuscript will be given to the <strong>Coastal and Marine Journal</strong> as the publisher of the journal.</span></span></span></li> <li><span class="VIiyi" lang="en"><span class="JLqJ4b ChMk0b" data-language-for-alternatives="en" data-language-to-translate-into="id" data-phrase-index="4" data-number-of-phrases="5"><span class="Q4iAWc">Copyright includes the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute articles in all forms of media, including reprints, photographs, microfilm and other similar reproductions, as well as their translations.</span></span></span></li> </ul> robert.peranginangin@gmail.com (Dr. Robet Perangin-angin) cmj.journal2023@gmail.com (Nusantara) Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700 OJS 3.3.0.11 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss 60 https://nusantara-research.com/index.php/coastal-and-marine-journal/article/view/106 <div><span lang="EN-US">The mangrove ecosystem of Bengkalis Regency serves as a critical habitat for the mud crab (Scylla sp.). However, intense exploitation pressure and habitat degradation driven by anthropogenic activities threaten the sustainability of this crustacean stock in the wild. The aim of this study was to analyze the biological characteristics of mud crab (Scylla sp.) populations, evaluate the sustainability status of mud crab resources in the mangrove coastal area of Bengkalis Regency, and formulate adaptive management strategies to support sustainable fisheries management. The research was conducted from April to May 2025 using secondary data from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Indonesia and relevant scientific publications. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR), meta-analysis, and Rapfish-MDS approach were employed to assess the sustainability status of mud crab (Scylla sp.) resources. using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and meta-analysis approach based on quantitative secondary data compiled from multiple scientific journals. The multi-dimensional sustainability status (ecological, economic, and socio-cultural dimensions) was adaptively evaluated using the Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries (Rapfish) technique based on Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS). Results and Discussion: Morphometric synthesis revealed that the S. serrata population exhibits a negative allometric growth pattern (b&lt;3), indicating that carapace width growth is more dominant than weight gain due to moulting cycles and environmental conditions. The Rapfish analysis showed that the multi-dimensional sustainability index of the Bengkalis coastal area scored 45.3, classifying it under the Less Sustainable category. The economic dimension was identified as the primary vulnerability point with the lowest score (40.4), followed by socio-cultural (44.7) and ecological dimensions (48.7). Statistical validation proved robust, with Stress values of 0.14–0.17 and R2 of 0.94–0.96. Key leverage attributes identified include the fishermen's marketing system (RMS 8.1), ecotourism diversification (RMS 6.9), and the effectiveness of physical mangrove rehabilitation (RMS 1.1). Formulated adaptive management strategies include implementing silvofishery systems, enforcing catch-size regulations under Regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 12 of 2020, and strengthening Community Surveillance Group based on local wisdom.</span></div> Kayla Tiffanya Putri, Nanda Leirrysa, Defa Safira, Sudirman Adibrata, Lizha Dwi Mulya Putri, Arthur Muhammad Farhaby, Munirah Aziz Abdulaziz Alghamdi, Robet Perangin-angin Copyright (c) 2026 Coastal and Marine Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://nusantara-research.com/index.php/coastal-and-marine-journal/article/view/106 Tue, 30 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0700
