| Abstract | ||||
| This systematic review synthesizes literature from 2000 to 2023 to assess income instability, market access, cost-efficiency, and resource management in small-scale fisheries in Madura, Indonesia. Using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) methodology, 48 peer-reviewed and grey literature sources were analyzed. The findings reveal that seasonal and climatic variability contribute to income volatility, while limited infrastructure and dependence on middlemen constrain market access and weaken bargaining power. High operational costs—particularly for fuel and gear maintenance—undermine profitability. Additionally, ineffective governance and the prevalence of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing pose significant threats to long-term sustainability. This study offers an integrated, localized perspective on the economic sustainability of small-scale fisheries in Madura. It recommends targeted interventions such as income diversification, infrastructure development, targeted subsidies, and community-based resource management to enhance resilience and inform policy development for sustainable coastal livelihoods. | ||||
