| Abstract | Marine ecosystems, essential for human survival, are under threat from overfishing and environmental degradation. Indonesia's fishing industry is a significant contributor to the national economy. To address these challenges, the Coral Triangle region, including Indonesia, is striving for marine conservation through Marine Protected Areas. Striking a balance between environmental sustainability and economic growth is vital, and this is being achieved through Blue Economy policies and the adoption of eco-friendly fishing technology. The Bajo tribe, renowned for their maritime culture, plays a crucial role in managing marine resources. This study focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of fishing gear used by the Bajo community in Wakatobi, Indonesia, with a specific emphasis on achieving Sustainable Development Goals. The research employed quantitative and qualitative methods, gathering primary data through interviews, observations, and focus groups, as well as secondary data from government sources. A SWOT analysis was utilized to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats within the Blue Economy sector. The results revealed that the Bajo community's involvement in resource management is demonstrated by their careful use of eco-friendly fishing gear, which effectively protects the sea and enhances the welfare of Bajo fishermen. Additionally, their partnership with the Forestry Police aids in marine monitoring and fishing operations, contributing to the sustainability of Wakatobi National Park. The Bajo Mola community, deeply reliant on the sea, holds a unique position among sea nomadic tribes, and their maritime culture is intertwined with marine resources. The development of a Blue Economy policy is crucial for both environmental preservation and economic sustainability, with a focus on maximizing strengths and opportunities identified through the SWOT analysis. This approach aligns with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 14, which emphasizes the conservation and sustainable use of marine resources. |
