Fisheries management faces complex challenges that cannot be resolved solely through top-down approaches. This article reviews the literature on collaborative governance and local wisdom in sustainable fisheries management. The study highlights that collaborative governance—through active community participation, power-sharing, and adaptive learning—can enhance the effectiveness of fisheries management policies. Meanwhile, local wisdom provides context-specific ecological knowledge, social norms, and culturally-tested conservation practices. Although both approaches have their respective strengths, their integration is still rarely addressed in a systematic manner. This article identifies a gap in the form of the separate treatment of the two concepts and the lack of effective integrative mechanisms. The research method employed is a literature review using a thematic synthesis approach. The inclusion criteria for this study involve reviewing journal articles published in SINTA 1 and Scopus from 2006 to 2024, using keywords such as “collaborative governance,” “local wisdom,” “fisheries management,” and “community-based conservation.” This article proposes an integrated framework that combines both approaches in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of fisheries management. Case studies such as the sasi system in Papua and Maluku reveal significant potential but also expose challenges, including the erosion of traditional institutions and conflicts with external interests. The article recommends strengthening local institutions, promoting continuous learning, and integrating traditional and scientific knowledge to build a resilient and equitable fisheries management system.
