| Abstract | ||||
| Seaweed cultivation plays a vital role in advancing the sustainable development of fisheries within the framework of the blue economy. It optimizes the use of coastal and marine resources from ecological, economic, social, and technological perspectives. This study assessed the effectiveness of government-provided seaweed cultivation facilities and infrastructure in promoting aquaculture sustainability. A mixed-methods approach—combining both qualitative and quantitative techniques—was used, including field surveys, interviews with cultivators, and analysis through Rapfish software. The research was conducted across seven provinces in Indonesia, focusing on technical, economic, environmental, and socio-institutional dimensions. The results identify Lampung, Bali, and South Sulawesi as the top-performing provinces, with Lampung achieving the highest effectiveness score of 87.09. Key leverage factors include the availability of high-quality seeds, promotion of investment, and enhancement of group dynamics, all of which significantly contribute to sustainability. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions and robust policy support in maximizing the benefits of seaweed farming assistance programs and advancing sustainable fisheries. | ||||
