| dc.description.abstract | Eco-labelling is the agent of change of marine ornamental fishing pattern
in North Bali by promoting environmental friendliness and raising issues regarding
inequality in social, economic, political, and ecological dimension of marine
ornamental fish fisher's livelihood. Historically, Les fishermen have carried out
marine ornamental fish for export purposes since 1982 until now. In its journey, the
ship chose to use cyanide to facilitate the process of catching marine ornamental
fish. The use of cyanide has an adverse effect on Les' marine environment, a priority
in the 2000s, fishermen reached the lowest economic point and the worst point for
the Les environment. Destroyed coral reefs and lost fish, their numbers and types
of fish are very dependent on Les's economy. Eco-labelling is present as an answer
carried by local NGOs, with values and criteria that must meet the requirements
for sustainability and environmental sustainability.
There are several actors involved in the eco-labelling issues, namely state,
non-governmental organization (NGO), private sectors, and fishers. This paper
aims to analyze the characteristic of actors, their interest, and their impacts on
marine ornamental fish trade and its certification of eco-labelling. Price disparity
between ornamental fish fisher and exporters on the economic dimension is
unbeneficial to the fishers. Plus, the inability of fisher to participate in determining
the price attributes to the lack of political ability of fisher on this trade. Since
ornamental fish fisher switched from using cyanide to catch fish with environmental
friendly way as using, ecologically, they savor the benefits of this. Yet the absence
of the state's roles in this cause new chaos. This research was qualitative in nature
and collected primary and secondary data using a case approach. As the conclusion,
fisher’s still being marginalized in politicized environment. | id |
