Abstract

Coral reef ecosystems exert a pivotal role in fisheries from ecological, social, and economic perspectives. Components of coral reefs, particularly ornamental corals, currently hold significant economic value for aquarium hob-byists and as public facility accessories in international markets. However, sustaining their production requires effective supply chain management to prevent overexploitation. Despite the optimal supply chain performance and sustainable exploitation status, fluctuating ornamental coral abundance over the past three years indicates that long-term sustainability remains uncertain. Therefore, this study analysed the performance of sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) for ornamental corals in the Bali Strait using the RAPFish (Rapid Appraisal for Fisheries) method. A descriptive case study approach and snowball sampling were employed to collect data from exporters, suppliers, and fishers. Results indicated an average SSCM performance score of 67.28%, categorized as moderately sustainable. This result indicated that SSCM for ornamental corals was generally not yet sustain-able, with the least sustainable dimension being government policy (46.99%), where the most sensitive attribute was economic and social policy. © 2025, Kauno Technologijos Universitetas.
