Abstract

Indonesia is known as an “undersea paradise” because of its extraordinary wealth of marine biodiversity and fishery resources. With this nickname, coastal communities should have a decent life. However, in reality, their welfare is not in line with the wealth of marine resources, especially for fishermen. The lives of fishermen are often colored by economic challenges, weather uncertainty, and environmental changes that impact their welfare. This study aims to identify sources of livelihood, identify levels of welfare, and identify livelihood strategies carried out by fishing households. Through a survey that we conducted on 35 small-scale fishing households on the West Coast of North Sumatra, we found that most of them were still classified as less prosperous. Although the livelihood analysis shows that their sources of income are quite diverse, the contribution of income outside of fishing has not been able to improve their level of welfare. The results of this study also show that fishermen are not a passive group of people. Realizing the uncertainty in their livelihoods, they try to take advantage of existing opportunities by implementing livelihood strategies. The livelihood strategies carried out by fishermen are classified into economic dimensions, ecological dimensions, and social dimensions.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify the activities of fishermen's wives in increasing household income, to determine the contribution of fishermen's wives' income to the total household income, and to determine the relationship between wives' income and household welfare. In collecting data, this study used a survey method for 36 fishermen's wives. This study shows that the activities carried out by fishermen's wives are selling fish around, opening a food stall, raising goats, and being a housewife. The value of the contribution of fishermen's wives to the total household income is 37.30%, where the average income of fishermen's wives per month is Rp. 808,333, which they feel is not enough to meet household needs. The results of the simple correlation analysis (Pearson correlation) test of the wife's income (X) and family welfare (Y) variables obtained a value of 0.443 with a moderate category.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the vulnerability of small-scale fishing households to food security, particularly amid their dependence on prohibited fishing gear such as trawl nets. Despite regulations prohibiting the use of such fishing gear, many fishermen still rely on it as their primary source of livelihood due to limited alternatives and minimal policy support. This study aims to identify the level of food security of fishing households using trawl nets and analyze the structure of their food and non-food expenditures. This research was conducted using a quantitative approach, and data was collected through a survey method using a questionnaire to predetermined respondents. The results show that 70% of fishing households are classified as food insecure, while only 30% are classified as food secure. Food insecure households have higher total expenditures, but a larger proportion is allocated to non-productive consumption such as cigarettes. Conversely, food secure households tend to prioritize spending on education and other long-term needs. These findings confirm that food security is not solely determined by income, but rather by how households manage and prioritize expenditures. Policies that support the transfer of fishing gear and improve financial and nutritional literacy are urgently needed to improve fishers' food security sustainably
