Adaptive Co-Management In Fisheries Management Based On Local Wisdom: A Systematic Literature Review

The purpose of this study is to assess the implementation of adaptive co-management in fisheries management based on local wisdom as an effort to enhance socioeconomic conditions and preserve marine resources. This research is expected to play an important role in bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and traditional practices in fisheries decision-making. The research method used is a literature review employing the PRISMA protocol, with data drawn from previous studies published in reputable journals. A narrative synthesis approach was applied to present empirical evidence regarding the integration of local wisdom within the adaptive co-management framework. The study reveals an increase in ecological and social effectiveness within the adaptive co-management framework through social learning, community participation, and the role of bridging organizations. It also highlights the incorporation of local wisdom, such as fishing restrictions and consideration of fish biological cycles, which have been proven to contribute to ecosystem sustainability. However, large-scale implementation, conflicting stakeholder interests, and the lack of adequate monitoring systems remain major challenges. The limited existing literature emphasizing the importance of locally based collaborative governance in the fisheries’ socio-ecological system implies that strengthening institutional capacity and integrating technological innovation can enhance adaptability and lead toward long-term sustainability.
