This study examines the management status of squid (Loligo spp.) fisheries in Tomini Bay using the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Management (EAFM) and Flag model. The analysis results indicate a decline in the squid population, as reflected in the decreasing Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) trend from 2019 to 2023. Major factors influencing this condition include increased fishing pressure, low selectivity of fishing gear, and habitat degradation due to destructive fishing practices and pollution. The socioeconomic conditions of local fishermen are also assessed as low, with incomes below the regional minimum wage and limited asset ownership. Fishing conflicts frequently arise between fishermen and authorities, and institutional synergy in fisheries management is considered suboptimal. Recommendations include implementing selective fishing gear, ecosystem rehabilitation, improving fishermen’s welfare, and developing an ecosystem-based fisheries management plan involving stakeholders. © 2025, BIOFLUX SRL.
