“…There are various preservation fish [8], among others by salting, drying, fermenting, fermenting and cooling fish. The benefits of eating fish are known to many people, as in Malaysia are the main foods in everyday dishes that provide youthful effects and higher life expectancy than other countries.…”

“…There were five criteria for economic value [8,15,16]: a. Robustness, in relation to function; b. Ergonomic fit, with particular regard to adjustability; c. Durability, to withstand local environmental conditions such as dust and humidity with little or no maintenance; d. Sustainability, to allow local people to use it from locally available materials, fostering community selfreliance and self-sufficiency; and e. Affordability, so that as many fishermen as possible could acquire the technology without relying on charity.…”

Abstract.A participatory process is used in the design of a user-centered smoke machine, resulting in lasting benefits to the community. This program of IbM (Science and Technology for Society) has designed fish fumes that are mobile, portable and environmentally ergonomic, applying appropriate technology about fumigation so as to increase knowledge to the community. This program improve people skills especially in smoked fish production, increase employment in the field of fishery products processing business. With this activity can grow the interest of the community to entrepreneurship for those who have not started a business and will increase its business for those who have started the processing business of fishery processing. Benefits derived from IbM (Science and Technology for Society) program are, among others, reduced air pollution caused by open fish curing system so that air quality environment, especially around fish processing SMEs to be better, can support and strengthen fish processing industry in the coastal area that began to grow and especially support local SMEs, increase the quantity and quality of patents that can be generated from community service activities funded by Directorate General of Higher Education, Ministry of Technology Research and Higher Education, Republic of Indonesia.

The Irony of Fishermen Life in Bontang Islands, East Kalimantan, Indonesia

Bontang Bay, East Kalimantan is strategically located and rich in marine resources. However, people live at the islands of Gusung and Malahing are generally poor. This paper observes the socio-economic condition of fishermen at the two small islands and their relation with industries. The data collection techniques consist of physical observation, informal interview, and document review . The gathered data is analysed qualitatively. Fishermen at Gusung and Malahing are adversely affected by the impacts of climate change. In addition they are trapped by collectors (middle men) for financing operational cost of fishing and supporting their life during draught season. Their area are vulnerable of being impacted by industries' activities such as oil spill, smoke stake and odor. It is required for industries located at the area to help alleviate fishermen poverty by initiating innovative CSR for creating self-reliance community.

“…Climate change can affect the welfare of fishers because it can limit the fishing routine by small fishermen thereby decreasing the level of productivity (Shaffril, Abu Samah, & D'Silva, 2017). An adaptation strategy for fishermen is needed to face climate change.…”

Climate change currently becomes the concern of policymakers and academics because the impact is already extensive. The Bajo People Community, located in Wakatobi, Southeast Sulawesi is a coastal community with a significant portion of its population living as fishermen. The people and fishermen in the Bajo people also felt the impact of climate change on the coastal and marine environment. The effect on the environment is very influential on the economic and social community of the Bajo People. This study aims to define the alternative to propose adaptation strategy to deal with climate change for fishermen. The benefit of this study is to provide input for planners, policymakers, and practitioners related to fisheries in the territory of Indonesia. Climate change adaptation is necessary to maintain the quality of life of fishers and to achieve the stability of available resources. This study used a literature study and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) as its method to find the alternative strategy in order to face climate change. The plan proposed in this research are three, namely increasing knowledge and information about climate change, resource management, and livelihood diversification. The result of this research is that Bajo Fishermen need an appropriate adaptation strategy to mitigate the situation towards climate change issues, which is necessary to prevent the disruption of economic and social activities, focusing on the cognitive, practical and structured aspects that base on cultural values, norms, and customs of the Bajo people. This study found four useful variables to be used as coping strategies for climate change, which are social, ecological, economic and political alternatives. The four variables are strengthening the surveillance of epidemic disease, developing fish gear technology, improving proper water treatment management, and creating awareness of climate change for the fishermen community.
