Analysis of Fishermen's Basic Skills Training With A Computer-Based SECI Knowledge Management Approach
This Indonesian study explored how traditional and formal fisheries knowledge interacts with innovation among fishing communities. The research focuses on sustainable fisheries management and community education rather than microplastics, though plastic pollution in Indonesian fisheries is an ongoing challenge.
Analysis of Waste Bank Management Model Around Lake Tondano Tourism Object in Supporting Sustainable Tourism Development
Researchers qualitatively studied the waste bank management model operating around Lake Tondano tourism sites in Sulawesi, Indonesia, examining how the system functions as a mechanism for sustainable tourism development and plastic waste reduction. They found that while waste banks provide a community-based framework for plastic collection and recycling, gaps in coverage and participation limit their effectiveness in preventing plastic from entering the lake ecosystem, including via microplastic pathways into fish.
Local Institutions Performance in Mangrove Forest Management on Small Islands: Case Study in Buano Island, Maluku Province, Indonesia
