Abstract

Seaweed has the potential to become a significant fisheries commodity in the coastal areas of Bone Regency. This study aimed to analyze the socioeconomic aspects of seaweed cultivation in Bone Regency as part of a strategy for its sustainable management. The research was conducted in three villages known for their seaweed production: Palette Village, Mallari Village, and Waetuwo Village. Data were collected using purposive sampling techniques, including observation and interviews with 90 seaweed farmers. Socioeconomic data were analyzed using percentage and SWOT analysis, while spatial analysis was used to examine the distribution of respondents and cultivation locations. The results showed that seaweed management strategies in Bone Regency fall within quadrant 1 of the SO (Strengths-Opportunities) strategy. This strategy focuses on increasing community involvement in government programs that support the development of seaweed as a key commodity, leveraging local knowledge and experience. The recommendations include developing training and education programs to improve cultivation skills, enhance productivity, and raise the quality of seaweed products to meet growing demand. Additionally, optimizing local and national marketing networks, implementing digital marketing strategies, and expanding access to international markets are essential. Finally, encouraging younger farmers to utilize land more effectively, in line with RZWP3K (spatial planning regulations), could increase the area available for seaweed cultivation.
