Abstract:
The United Nation Convention on The Law of The Sea (UNCLOS) states the role of coastal state to manage the EEZ, as in article 61 about the conservation of the living resources and articles 62 about the utilization of the living resources. Indonesia should take the opportunity of these articles in order to manage sustainable environment of territory. Hereby, Indonesia may support the scientific evidence to determine the allowable catch of living resources by providing best scenarios of sustainable management of the living resources. Both can be analyzed using spatial ecological model of capture fisheries. Using the model, the stock and the allowable catching limit can be determined beforehand in spatial manner. An example of the local assessment of national territory may describe the important role of this model to be further implemented in the EEZ. This study is significant to manage the sustainability of EEZ waters through international cooperation
