ABSTRACT
The operation of the Purse Seine fishing gear has been regulated in Regulation of Ministry of
Marine and Fisheries Affair No. 71 of 2016, but there are still vessels that violate the rules and modify
fishing gear, do not report the number of main and by-catch, which need to be studied in depth
regarding the environmentally friendly level of a fishing gear. The purpose of this study was to
determine the level of environmental friendliness of Purse Seine KM fishing gear. New Source based
in PPS Belawan. The method used in this research is to use a score based on the criteria of the
Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) and analysis of the suitability of fishing gear with
the Regulation of Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries No. 71 of 2016. Based on the results of the
study it was found that the Purse Seine KM. Sumber Baru in terms of Permen KP number 71 of 2016
has a mismatch in the specifications of fishing gear from the aspect of ship size. Meanwhile, based
on the CCRF criteria, a final weighting score of 31 was obtained, which means Purse Seine KM
fishing gear. Sumber Baru is a fishing gear that is less environmentally friendly.
Keywords: CCRF, OFP Belawan, Purse Seine, Sustainability.

ABSTRAK
Pengoperasian alat tangkap Purse Seine telah diatur dalam Permen KP No 71 Tahun 2016.
Namun masih ada kapal yang menyalahi aturan dan memodifikasi alat tangkap, tidak melaporkan
jumlah tangkapan utama dan sampingan. Padahal, informasi tersebut sangat diperlukan untuk
mengkaji secara mendalam terkait tingkat ramah lingkungan suatu alat tangkap. Tujuan dari
penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tingkat keramahan lingkungan alat tangkap Purse Seine KM.
Sumber Baru yang berbasis di PPS Belawan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah
dengan menggunakan skor berdasarkan kriteria Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF)
dan analisis kesesuaian alat tangkap dengan peraturan Permen KP No. 71 Tahun 2016.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ditemukan bahwa alat tangkap Purse Seine KM. Sumber Baru ditinjau
dari aspek Permen KP nomor 71 Tahun 2016 memiliki tidak kesesuaian spesifikasi alat tangkap dari
aspek ukuran kapal. Sementara berdasarkan kriteria CCRF didapatkan skor pembobotan akhir 31
yang berarti alat tangkap Purse Seine KM. Sumber Baru merupakan alat tangkap yang kurang ramah
lingkungan.
Kata kunci: CCRF, PPS Belawan, Purse Seine, Keberlanjutan.

(1) the investment costs are cheap, (2) it is economically profitable, (3) it does
not conflict with local culture, (4) does not conflict with existing regulations.
The weighting of the criteria is determined by assessing the reality on the
ground that:
• Fishing gear fulfills one of the four statements above 1
• Fishing gear fulfills two of the four statements above 2
• Fishing gear fulfills three of the four statements above 3
• The fishing gear fulfills all of the above statements 4
