Coastal communities are people living and living in coastal areas. This region is a transitional area that marks a place of movement between the land and sea or vice versa. In this region, most of the people live from managing coastal and marine resources, either directly or indirectly.
Therefore, from the perspective of its livelihood, coastal communities are composed of diverse community groups such as fishermen, fish farmers, fish traders, shop owners, and small and medium-sized processing industries.
In coastal areas where most of the population works to catch fish, a group of fishing communities is the most important element for the existence of coastal communities. They have a big role in encouraging regional economic activity and the formation of socio-cultural structures of coastal communities. Although the fishing community has an important social role, other community groups also support the socio-economic activities of the community.
The fishing community is a community group whose job is to catch fish. Some of the catch is consumed for home use or sold entirely. Usually
the fishermen's wife will take a role in the business of buying and selling fish and responsible for taking care of domestic household.
Marine activities are carried out every day, except in the west season, the moonlight, or the Friday night (holiday). When is the time of departure and return to sea is generally determined by the type and quality of fishing gear. Usually the fishermen will depart in the afternoon after the Ashar and return landing in the morning.
The level of fishery productivity not only determines the fluctuations in the economic activity of trade in coastal villages, but also influences the consumption patterns of its population. At the time of great income levels, the lifestyle of fishermen tends to be wasteful and vice versa when the famine season arrives they will tighten the belt, even not infrequently his possessions will be sold to meet the needs of everyday life.
In the fishing community, the constructed structure is the actualization of the boat life organization. The fishermen organization system provides a vast space for a growing appreciation of prestigious, competitive, skill-oriented values, social solidarity levels due to fate and natural challenges, and loyalty to intelligent leaders.
Therefore, the social position of a fisherman or fish merchant that is economically successful and has cultural capital, such as charity and hajj, is highly respected by the community in his environment and followed by his opinion. They are a valuable social capital that can be utilized to achieve successful coastal community empowerment programs,thanks.
