Achieving social equity while ensuring resource and environmental sustainability is an important part of the Sustainable Development Goals but the inclusion of social equity in fisheries management is still limited. The current focus on biological sustainability tends to overlook the broader social aspects such as fisheries’ contributions to local communities. Based on fisheries assessments covering biological, social and economic aspects using a participatory process, the provincial government of West Papua, Indonesia has established a fisheries management plan (FMP) for the flying fish roe fishery. Using a framework containing the six dimensions of social equity: context, recognition, distribution, environment, procedure and management; we assessed social equity integration into the FMP. Results suggest that integrating social equity in fishery management is about more than ensuring a fair distribution of benefits. There is a need to address the capabilities of local people and government to attain outcomes such as socioeconomic benefits, resource sustainability, and participation of stakeholders in an adaptive fishery management regime. The findings reinforce the need for a holistic approach to sustainable development initiatives that include social equity considerations in fishery resources management.

在确保资源和环境可持续性的同时实现社会公平是可持续发展目标的重要组成部分，但将社会公平纳入渔业管理仍然有限。目前对生物可持续性的关注往往忽视了更广泛的社会方面，例如渔业对当地社区的贡献。基于采用参与式过程对生物、社会和经济方面进行的渔业评估，印度尼西亚西巴布亚省政府制定了飞鱼子渔业的渔业管理计划（FMP）。使用包含社会公平六个维度的框架：背景、认可、分配、环境、程序和管理；我们评估了社会公平纳入 FMP 的情况。结果表明，将社会公平纳入渔业管理不仅仅是确保利益的公平分配。有必要考虑当地人民和政府实现社会经济效益、资源可持续性以及利益相关者参与适应性渔业管理制度等成果的能力。研究结果强调需要采取全面的可持续发展举措，其中包括渔业资源管理中的社会公平考虑。
