Abstrak: The potential of fishery resources in the waters of Bengkulu has been used by local people as a source of livelihood and has been used to support the of economy. But the management of coastal and marine resources that have been made have not successfully contributed to the prosperity for coastal and ocean communities in Bengkulu. Therefore, it is necessary to do an analysis of the sustainability of fishery resources in order to formulate a policy of sustainable utilization of fishery resources. The purpose of this study was to analyze the pattern of utilization of fishery resources, determine the potential of fishery resources, determine the status of fishing communities, determine stock status of fishery resources and formulate strategies of resource use sustainable fishing in the waters of Bengkulu. This research was conducted at the beginning of October to the end of November 2014. The location of the research was in the province of Bengkulu. The measurement of the fish’s lenght was done in two (2) locations namely: Fish Landing Ports, Baai Island and Fish Landing Sites. This study used primary and secondary data related to the continual attribute dimensions, namely: Dimension of ecology (8 attributes), economy (8 attributes), social (6 attributes), technology (8 attributes) and institutional (5 attributes). The primary data were obtained from direct observation and from interviews with 200 respondents (4 chairmen from marine and fisheries department, 4 chairmen from Fish Landing Ports/ Fish Landing Site, 4 chairmen of co-operative, a chairman of HNSI and 177 persons representing fishermen throughout the province of Bengkulu).

Kape kape and tengiri were the target fish which had a high economic value and Bleberan fish was not the target fish, moreover, these fish had a low economic value. The continual analysis of fishery resources in the waters of Bengkulu was done by using the Multi Dimensional Scaling (MDS) technique through RAPFISH (Rapid assessment Technique for Fisheries) approach. In determining the priority of fishery resources management policy strategies, the reseacher used kobe plot analysis (Zhang et al 2009) in which the priority was done based on the value of the indicator and risk. After that, the determination of Management Plan Periode was carried out. The indicators and the value of the indicators used in kobe plot analysis were the same as indicators along with their value at RAPFISH. Fishing area for fishermen in the waters of Bengkulu stretches along the coastline to the sea, with a distance of fishing base Manna (pasar bawah), pasar Bengkulu, pasar bantal, pasar Ipuh and pulau Baai reached by consuming ranged from 0.5 hours up to 9 hours.
