Elevating Aquaculture in the East Java Region Through Innovation Strategies Using the Tows Matrix Approach
Abstract/Description
This research investigates innovation strategies for aquaculture in East Java, employing SWOT analysis and the TOWS matrix. While East Java is among the three most significant contributors to Indonesia�s aquaculture, ensuring its sustainability highly depends on a precise strategy based on environmental conditions. This research uses a qualitative method with data collection techniques involving in-depth interviews with informants of 7 experts from various backgrounds. The findings reveal East Java's strengths in community cohesion and adaptability towards limitations, but weaknesses stem from one-time cycle businesses due to limited capital and low domestic consumption rates. Some opportunities still arise, such as the high demand and capability of East Java�s fisheries exports and government-backed programs called �Gemarikan�. However, vulnerabilities, including susceptibility to weather, water, budget fluctuations, and subpar business practices, can still threaten aquaculturists. As a result, using the TOWS Matrix revealed several innovation strategies for East Java: enhancing aquaculture literacy and knowledge transfer, community-based improvements, and collaborative bottom-up coordination.
