Role model of environmental governance to support the development of high-tech whiteleg shrimp ponds (Litopenaeus vannamei)

High-tech whiteleg shrimp ponds (Litopenaeus vannamei) (intensive and superintensive) are rapidly developing. The rapid development is due to the increasing demand for world shrimp, the mastered cultivation technology, and the vast potential of land in Indonesia. The Indonesian government has even made various regulations to support increased sustainable shrimp production. However, the regulation is still sectoral and cannot be implemented by all stakeholders and investors in aquaculture. In addition, investors have not practiced several stages of activities to ensure environmental safety and the success of shrimp farming. As a result, production targets have not been achieved, and the threat of high potential waste is wasted on the aquatic environment. Therefore, a role model is needed to govern high-tech whiteleg shrimp pond development to ensure all shrimp production improvement system instruments can run well. Based on this, research has been conducted to create a role model for developing high-tech whiteleg shrimp ponds (Litopenaeus vannamei). The research used survey methods and group discussion forums (FGDs). The results showed that there are four main components that must exist and synergize in the role model of governance for the development of high-tech whiteleg shrimp ponds: land carrying capacity, cultivation facilities, pond management, and government regulations.
