Abstract Pasongsongan sub-district is one of the largest producers of captured fisheries in Sumenep Regency. The Sumenep Regency Spatial Plan directs that the Pasongsongan will be developed as a Minapolitan sub-district. For this reason, it is necessary to formulate a strategy to develop a capture fishery-based Minapolitan area in the Pasongsongan sub-district. Interviews were conducted to assess the potential and challenges of developing the captured fishery-based Minapolitan area. Using SWOT and qualitative content analyses, strategies for developing the Minapolitan area in the Pasongsongan sub-district were formulated. The analysis yielded 14 strategies, including enhancing institutional roles through stakeholder collaboration, activating the fishermen’s group and monitoring its activities, procuring essential infrastructure and optimizing existing facilities, creating a comprehensive master plan for the Minapolitan area, providing training for fishing machinery and equipment, and adopting more modern, technology-based methods for catch processing.
