Moreover, East Java province has issued the regulation related to the establishment of blue swimming crab management committee. The committee involving all of stakeholders in the fisheries. Harvest Strategy has been reviewed to more cover what the fishery needs.

The 2016 Decree of the Governor of East Java that established the Crab Management Committee in the East Java Province for 2017-2021 describes the objective of the Committee as “to improve the welfare of the community, especially fisherman in East Java in the context of maintaining continuity and sustainability of fish resources, especially the BSC resource through BSC management”. The BSC Management Plan (70/2016) contains an overarching objective which is that the plan will direct and guide Government and stakeholders in the implementation of management of fish resources and the environment. The plan identifies the three components of using an EAFM, namely fish resources and habitat; social and economic; and governance and has an explicit objective for each component with measurable targets. For example, 70% of the crab catches landed must be of the size according to the regulations within 3 years and improvement of the condition of the crab habitat to medium rating within 5 years. The blue swimmer crab harvest strategy contains a long-term strategic objective which is to ensure sustainable fishing of crab resources in FMA 712. The short-term operational objectives are: • The ratio of spawning potential from crabs increases to 30% over a 5-year period (the limit reference point is 20%); and, • the target percentage of crabs caught above the minimum size caught (MLS) in accordance with government regulations (10 cm) in 5 years is 90% These objectives are measurable and explicit within the management system. While the short-term objectives in the harvest strategy align with outcomes expressed in MSC’s Principle 1, objectives that align with outcomes expressed in Principle 2 in the BSC Management Plan are not measurable. Therefore there is a fishery-specific objective which once completely implemented can improve the scores considerable.
