| Summary: | This research examines the environmental friendliness of various fishing gear in the West Aceh District. The research method used is descriptive, data was collected by interviewing fishermen using questionnaires and direct observation of the research object. There are nine aspects of the assessment criteria namely; high selectivity, no damage to habitat, the safety of fishermen, high-quality production, no harm to consumers, low by-catch, no catch of protected or endangered species, minimal impact on biodiversity, and social acceptability. The type of fishing gear and quantity was collected as primary data meanwhile secondary data was obtained from official documents from the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Service, websites, books, and journals. All fishermen who used nine types of fishing gear: trawls, boat seines, trolling lines, handlines, Purse seines, traps, millennium gillnet, trammel net, and bottom longline, were part of the population. The research shows that trolling lines and handlines are the highest level of environmental friendliness, and are categorised as “very environmentally friendly”. Purse seines, traps, and boat seines also belong to this category. In contrast, trawls and trammel nets are categorised as “less environmentally friendly” due to their negative impact on marine habitats and high levels of by-catch |
