An institutional analysis of sasi laut in Maluku, Indonesia



a village where the installation of a strict resource management system has increased the
well-being of the fishers who want control and exclusive rights over their resources. The
inability of the village government to enforce the rules and lack of a local enforcement agent,
however, demands assistance from formal enforcers or the establishment of an institution
similar to the
kewang. Large villages such as Seri and Hutumuri, affected by urbanization,
modernization, competition, and a large-scale fishery, demand a different management system.
Traditional
sasi has little meaning for a relatively heterogeneous, young fishing population.
In such cases, fisheries management has to be executed by modern village institutions.
However, these institutions still have to be based on, or include, elements that we find are
important to the success of
sasi e.g., a transparent and inclusive decision-making process,
mechanisms to change and enforce rules, direct benefits for the fisher-managers, extra income
(which could be generated by village organizations), and a stable management construction
that includes, but is not dependent on, the village government.
