Strategi Transformasi Armada Cantrang menjadi Armada Jaring Tarik Berkantong di Kabupaten Batang

Abstract

Kepala Dinas Kelautan dan Perikanan Provinsi Jawa Tengah menerbitkan peraturan pada bulan Juli 2021 agar pemilik kapal cantrang merubah alat tangkap menjadi jaring tarik berkantong. Kepala Pelabuhan Perikanan Pantai Klidang Lor (PPPKL) memfasilitasi transformasi armada tersebut, namun pemilik kapal dan nelayan enggan untuk mematuhi peraturan terebut. Proses dimulai dengan sosialisasi disertai sejumlah informasi yang relevan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi tindakan yang harus dilakukan nelayan untuk memodifikasi cantrang menjadi jaring tarik berkantong, menghitung kebutuhan biaya modifikasi alat tangkap cantrang, menghitung kontribusi perikanan cantrang, dan merumuskan strategi transformasi armada cantrang menjadi armada jaring tarik berkantong di Kabupaten Batang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan dan wawancara. Pengolahan data dikembangkan dengan menerapkan metode logic model sesuai dengan kondisi lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan konstruksi cantrang terdapat pada bentuk dan ukuran mata jaring bagian kantong. Biaya modifikasi satu unit cantrang menjadi jaring tarik berkantong berkisar Rp 1.550.000 – 1.600.000. Perikanan cantrang adalah penyedia bahan baku industri di Kabupaten Batang yang memproduksi bahan baku dasar untuk industri pengolahan lanjutan di luar Kabupaten Batang. Strategi transformasi armada cantrang adalah kegiatan sosialisasi kepada kalangan nelayan disertai informasi lengkap tentang desain dan konstruksi alat pengganti, biaya modifikasi, serta pemantauan terhadap jumlah kapal ikan yang menggunakan jaring tarik berkantong.

The head of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Service of Central Java Province ordered the owners of cantrang fleets to replace their fishing gear with another type of boat seine called jaring tarik berkantong in July 2021. Accordingly, the Head of Klidang Lor Fishing Port (PPPKL) have to facilitate the transformation of these fishing fleets. However, boat owners and fishers express their reluctance to modify their fishing gear. To accelerate this transformation efforts must include the introduction of the order with sufficient information that will encourage the fishing community to adopt the order. This study aims to identify changes in the design and construction required to modify the cantrang to the jaring tarik berkantong, to calculate the cost of gear modification, calculate the contribution of the cantrang fisheries, to the processing industries, and formulate a strategy for accelerating the transformation of the cantrang fishing fleets into jaring tarik berkantong fleets in Batang Regency. Data were collected from field observations and interviews. Data processing was developed by applying the logic model method according to field conditions. The research results indicate that changes in cantrang construction at PPPKL are found in the shape and mesh size of jaring tarik berkantong. The modification of a cantrang will cost them Rp. 1,550,000 – 1,600,000. The cantrang fleets are the main suppliers of raw materials for local industries which produce raw materials for seafood processing industries outside Batang. The strategy for the transformation of the fleets should include socialization of the order with sufficient information on the modification of fishing gear, cost of modification, incentives to modify the fishing gear, and monitoring the number of fishing fleets with the jaring tarik berkantong.
