Socioeconomic conditions of small-scale fishing households often influence the benefits communities accrue from fisheries management interventions. Adjacent to seven newly established fisheries comanagement areas initiated in 2018, we examine the attributes of fishing households that influence perceived food, finance and job security, and compliance with fishing closures. We interviewed respondents from 1828 fishing households in 2019 and 2025 households in 2021 across the seven areas in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. A key finding was that perceived food, financial and job security outcomes increased over the two-year period and were positively related to respondents knowledge of fisheries comanagement. Relationships between both household savings and loans and with household food security highlights the need for policy and institutional support for fishing households in times of need. Household income from fisheries and trust in community leaders was also related to higher reported compliance with fishing closures, suggesting that income security and community leadership are important drivers of adoption of comanagement resource harvest rules. In contrast, women who identified as fish processors reported that they did not comply with fishing closures, as likely they were not involved in management decision making. Moreover, the positive impact of respondent’s trust in their community, on food, financial and job security, implies that strong community relationships can benefit well-being of coastal communities. Our findings highlight the need for programs that strengthen community institutions, improve household financial literacy, promote access to financial services and recognize gendered roles in fishing, as integral parts of community-based fisheries management.

小规模渔业家庭的社会经济状况通常会影响社区从渔业管理干预中获得的收益。在 2018 年启动的七个新建立的渔业共同管理区域附近，我们研究了影响感知食物、财务和工作安全以及遵守捕捞禁渔期的渔业家庭的属性。我们采访了印度尼西亚东南苏拉威西岛七个地区 2019 年和 2021 年的 1828 户捕鱼家庭和 2025 户家庭的受访者。一项重要发现是，两年期间感知到的粮食、财务和工作保障成果有所增加，并且与受访者对渔业共同管理的了解呈正相关。家庭储蓄和贷款之间以及与家庭粮食安全之间的关系突出了在需要时为渔业家庭提供政策和制度支持的必要性。来自渔业的家庭收入和对社区领导人的信任也与报告的捕捞关闭合规性较高有关，这表明收入安全和社区领导是采用共同管理资源收获规则的重要驱动力。相比之下，被认定为鱼类加工者的女性报告说她们不遵守禁渔期，因为她们很可能没有参与管理决策。此外，受访者对其社区的信任，对食品、财务和工作保障的积极影响，意味着强大的社区关系可以造福沿海社区的福祉。
