The purpose of this study is to identify Identify fisheries goals based on the perceptions of stakeholders. This research was conducted in the waters of Pohuwato Regency. The Data analysis method is an analysis of stakeholders' perceptions of fisheries management objectives using conjoint analysis. The results of the analysis of fisheries management with the conjoint method by looking at the attributes that have the highest importance score are environmental quality of 14.69%, then showing that the management objectives should pay attention to the quality of the aquatic environment so that the highest score is inshore/offshore with a score interest of 11.52%.

INTRODUCTION The potential of Indonesia's marine fish resources is estimated at 6.4 million tons per year consisting of large pelagic around 1.165 million tons per year, small pelagic around 3.605 million tons per year, demersal around 0.145 million tons per year, and shrimp, including squid around 0.128 million tons per year (Mulyono, et.al.2011). Pohuwato Regency is one of several new districts in Gorontalo Province. The Regency has marine fisheries resources which are used as the main capital for its development, especially in the Tomini Bay area. Fishing activities in Tomini Bay are relatively close to the coastline and are carried out in one-day fishing, using simple technology, so that the potential for large fish resources is not yet managed optimally. Most of the people of Pohuwato who live in coastal areas rely on fisheries and other coastal/marine resources as the main support for their livelihoods. The existing trends indicate that the potential of marine resources for the population of Pohuwato can still be developed far greater. Large potential of resources shows that many things must be done to realize this potential to become a reliable economic power. Low people's welfare, inefficient use of resources, and the existence of new trends that lead to damage to the resources themselves are things that must be a serious concern of all stakeholders of these resources. In addition, fisheries sustainability policies made by the Regional Government have not been implemented by stakeholders and the community. Based on this, it is suspected that there is no shared vision between the Regional Government, stakeholders, and the community. Therefore, there is a need for fisheries management efforts that have the same objectives. To ensure the availability of fish resource stocks in water management is needed so that it does not only accommodate from an economic and technological perspective but also considers the ecological and biological aspects. According to Adrianto et.al. (2004), evaluation of the sustainability of a fish resource management policy should be carried out on ecological, social, economic, ethical, and institutional aspects in order to formulate objective management. The aim is to maintain food balance both for now and in the future. Fisheries resource management patterns are generally different for each country. Although these countries are likely to use the same approach. This is very possible because the biological conditions of fisheries resources and their environment can vary in each country. (Boer and Azis, 2007). Cochrane (2002) states that the general goal of developing fisheries economics through the development of fishing business includes 4 (four) aspects, namely resources (biology), technical, economic, and social. The objectives are: 1. To keep fish resources in conditions above the level needed for the sustainability of productivity. 2. To minimize the technical impact of fishing activities on the physical environment and non-target (by-catch) resources, as well as other related resources. 3. To maximize income AND to maximize employment opportunities for fishermen and the community at the site. According to Mulyono et.al.2011 that the principles of management and development of fisheries resources are as follows; first resource sustainability. Management and utilization of fisheries resources basically have a purpose to improve the welfare of the community. Therefore, the preservation of resources must be maintained as the main foundation for achieving that goal. Management and utilization Fisheries resources are expected not to cause damage to the fishing ground, spawning ground and,
