This study aims to analyze the determinants of capture fisheries production and their implications for destructive fishing practices in coastal provinces of Indonesia during the period 2017–2024. The study employs a quantitative approach using panel data analysis covering 10 coastal provinces. The dependent variable is capture fisheries production, while the independent variables include the number of fishers, number of vessels, fish stock (CPUE), fisheries infrastructure, and government policy. The estimation models used are the Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM), with model selection conducted through Chow and Hausman tests. The results indicate that the number of fishers, vessels, and fish stock have a positive and significant effect on fisheries production. In contrast, infrastructure and policy variables are found to be statistically insignificant. These findings suggest that fisheries production in Indonesia is still dominated by an effort-based approach rather than efficiency or sustainable governance. This condition may increase pressure on marine resources and potentially trigger destructive fishing practices. Therefore, policy interventions should focus on improving efficiency, strengthening monitoring and enforcement, and implementing ecosystem-based fisheries management to ensure long-term sustainability.
