The externalities are conditions or side effects that arise due to economic activities. The externalities can bring positive and also negative impact for ecosystems, one of which is the marine ecosystem. Moreover, the government plays an important role in controlling economic activities so as not to cause damage to the marine ecosystem that is related to the optimization and overfishing of the fisheries sector. As we know that the marine environment is one of the important economic factors as providers of food for human. Therefore, human is carrying out exploitation in the sea and the coastal areas of the sea to fulfil their needs. The method used in this research is phenomenological with an ecological approach. Based on the results of research on externalities in the fisheries sector, there are several factors that are caused by overfishing. There are 6 forms of overfishing that occur. First, growth overfishing, overfishing, biological overfishing, economic overfishing, ecosystem overfishing, and overfishing recruitment. The implications are expected to provide an in-depth understanding of all parties concerned about the importance of maintaining marine ecosystems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
