The method in this research was a case study with RAPFISH (Rapid Appraisal of fisheries)approach which is a ordination technique of multi-discipline and non-parametric. This technique was used toevaluate and determine the fisheries status, in the case of Redi sustainability.

The results of the analysis leverage to 8(eight) ecological dimension attribute indicates that there were 3 (three) sensitive attributes that most influenceon the sustainability status of ecological dimensions. In an effort to improve the performance of redi fishinggear in a sustainable manner, we need concrete strategies through improved performance the sensitiveattributes based on the priority scale.
