Fisheries and marine development contributes to the national income, employment, foreign exchange reserves, and acceleration of remote islands development acceleration. Politically, the development of fisheries and marine affair development is implementation of Indonesian development for the unity of the nation. Human resource is one of the main constraints in optimizing the role of marine and fisheries resources. The study is aimed at formulating policies in which youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair development could be improved. Specifically, the objectives of the study are: (1) to identify and to assess forms of youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair development; (2) to assess and to synthesize factors affecting youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair sector; (3) to determine policy variables affecting youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair development; and (4) to formulate public policy aimed at improving youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair development. This study was conducted in Sukabumi Regency and a structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied. Types of youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair are planning, fisheries production, monitoring and evaluation of use of fisheries and marine resources, and fisheries institutions. Youth plays their role most in fisheries production, especially as the labor because it is relatively the simplest type of role they can implement. Other youth’s roles, however, should be promoted continuously to optimize their overall roles. Expanding labor employment is the priority agenda of the government, but the government has to boost the other types of youth’s roles in terms of planning, monitoring and evaluation, and fisheries institutions. Factors affecting youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair development are public policy, youth entrepreneurship, social capital ownership, and resources possession. Among the most influencing variables of public policy are extension intensity and credit provision. The factors affecting youth’s roles in fisheries and marine affair development are correlated each other. It indicates that public policy will be effective if it is implemented simultaneously with other policies.
