Conservation status is an indicator used to show the level of threat to a living creature. The determination of this conservation status aims to provide protection and sustainability for living creatures. The conservation status of Scalloped hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini) and Whitespotted guitarfish (Rhynchobatus australiae) is currently critically endangered. It is S. lewini and R. australiae juveniles caught by gillnet fishermen as by-catch and the lack of knowledge of fishermen regarding the protection and conservation status of Sphyrna lewini and R. australiae juveniles. This study aims to determine the perceptions of gillnet fishermen regarding the conservation status of S lewini and R australiae during their release and capture in marine protected area (KKPD TP). This study was conducted between February and June 2024 in Aceh Jaya regency by taking 37 respondent from three villages, viz; Lhok Patek 13 respondents, Lhok Keluang Daya 13 respondents and Lhok Rigah 11 respondents). The method used in this study was the observation and interview method using a questionnaire with descriptive analysis.. Data processing was carried out using a likert scale through Microsoft Excel. The results of the study showed that the conservation section of S. lewini and R. australiae, the score was 86% with the interpretation of very good, in the capture of S. lewini and R. australiae, the score was 52% with the interpretation of sufficient and the release of both species had a score 79% with the interpretation of good. This has occurred since the introduction of the hammerhead and cetacean shark pup protection and socialization programs.
