Abstract :
Background and Objective: Sustainable development and ensuring the safety of fishing agents is a high priority from the stakeholders' point of view. Therefore, financial resource allocation to efficient equipment can prevent damage and reduce costs.
Material and Methodology: The attention of the stakeholders to the safety of the workers in the marine shrimp fishing sector and sustainable development is desired. In this study, the costs of prevention, detection, and control were investigated along with identifying the beneficiaries, their preference towards safety by the AHP method, and ideal planning of sustainable harvesting. A total of 70 stakeholders were selected from seven different groups, and fishing float costs were estimated.
Findings: Paying attention to marine safety is the second priority of the seven goals of the stakeholders of sea fishing, and the fixed costs in the prevention and detection sector related to significant repairs accounted for 1.9% of the total costs.
Discussion and Conclusion: The marginal cost of the safety sector in fishing activity took a small amount, and the total cost of safety was 4.9%. The marginal cost (changes in costs and damages in the safety department) was introduced as a desirable indicator to express the safety status of this department.
