“…As a result, the fisheries of the Indonesian EZZ became open to the participation of foreign vessels (Sunoko and Huang, 2014). In Eastern Indonesia, where degradation was not perceived as a threat, the central and the regional government pursued an increase in the number of large vessels fishing for skipjack and tunas operating off ports such as Benoa, Bali and Kupang, Timor.…”

The number of studies on small-scale fishing communities has grown considerably over the past 30 years. Evidence on how the process of mechanization and technological expansion has affected traditional small-scale fishers in peripheral regions, however, is less abundant. For areas like Eastern Indonesia that are now facing important challenges in governance and resource degradation, lack of information impairs the design of long-term environmental solutions. This article explores the changes in fishing participation and per capita seafood intake in a small-scale fishery in Flores, Eastern Indonesia over the past 100 years . By combining multiple sources of information (ethnographic, observational, nutritional, and historical) to reconstruct the story of stocks, fishing effort, and consumption of marine products, long-term trajectories, and trends in resource use practices are identified. Findings underline that mechanization and commercialization can have dire repercussions on food security and job stability within small-scale fishing sectors, especially if these processes are not part of comprehensive community development programs. The article concludes that understanding the outcomes of mechanization at the fringes of more centralized systems is essential to navigate the trade-offs among poverty reduction, economic growth, and environmental degradation.

“…Oeba Port in Kupang is a small-scale tuna landing site, representative of the many found throughout Indonesia. Ninety per cent of Indonesia's tuna fleet may be made up of small-scale vessels, under 5 gross tonnes (GT) in capacity (Sunoko & Huang, 2013), and in Oeba, a municipal handline fishery targets adult yellowfin tuna both north and south of the port in mainly archipelagic waters.…”

Indonesia is one of the world's largest tuna producing countries, yet regulatory oversight remains weak and management is poor. Incentive-based approaches are a way to improve state-based resource management, but they often require strong government regulation. In this paper, we use principal -agent theory and the notion of the 'incentive gap' to explore how incentives could be brought to bear in Indonesia through a combination of private and public actors. With a shared fish stock like tuna, we argue that a double principal -agent problem emerges, where information, asymmetries between various players complicate management. We focus on the problems of adverse selection and moral hazard in three different tuna fisheries in Indonesia to identify the nature of the incentive gap, and comment on the mix of public and private actors currently engaged in tuna fishery governance towards reducing the gap. The double principal -agent problem is a useful yet underutilized framework to understand the dynamics of shared stocks management. In this first application to a developing country fishery, we conclude that information asymmetries cannot be overcome without the involvement of private actors, who are increasingly becoming important in aligning regional and global objectives with those of fishers themselves.

“…One of the drivers of this overfishing is the lack of regulation and enforcement of anchored FADs in coastal and archipelagic waters. Both anchored and drifting FADs within EEZs often need a state license to be placed in these sovereign waters, but are not directly under the influence of conservation and management measures set out by RFMOs (Sunoko and Huang, 2014). Spacing requirements for FADs have been designated in countries like Indonesia and the Philippines, but have been poorly policed due to a lack of resources and political will (Bailey et al, 2012).…”
