A technique of assessing the status of sustainability of resources

The sustainability of natural resources must be maintained, and the millennial generation must be responsible for that. Stakeholders play an important role in determining fisheries management practices, to assess fisheries sustainability indicators. Rapfish (rapid appraisal for fisheries) as an indicator-based tool will be able to evaluate the sustainability of fishery resources. The procedure for validating rapfish in this study has been applied, which is an evaluation tool based on multidisciplinary indicators (ecological, economic, social, and ethical aspects) to measure the sustainability of fisheries resources. Sustainability indicators are subject to the validation process based on feedback from resource owners, users, and experts. Using multi-criteria analysis such as the excellent weighting model and following the rules of the FAO-Code of Conduct. Based on the results of validation, suggestions have been made to improve the methodology and its practical application. Rapfish as a multidisciplinary tool, in this paper, shows that it has sufficient potential to evaluate the sustainability of fisheries resources.
