DISSERTATION SUMMARY

The capture fisheries industry is an industry that relies on natural catches, where with the increasing number of humans, these natural catches are increasingly unable to meet market demand. This increase in the number of requests was accompanied by a decrease in the number of catches, one of which was caused by unsustainable fishing practices. The decline in catches also has an impact on the decline on performance of the three pillars of sustainability, the decline impacting the declining number of artisanal fishermen due to a bad economy, the collapse of the social ecosystem of fishermen and the collapse of the marine ecosystem.

With 427 artisanal fishermen respondents from various fishing areas in Indonesia, it was found that the results of this study indicate that digital transformation mediates entrepreneurial wellbeing and innovation capability which is moderated by cultural values on the performance of the three pillars of sustainability of artisanal fishermen in Indonesia.
