Abstract

Indonesia is a maritime country that has abundant marine wealth. Unfortunately, most fishers still live in poor conditions, including Jaring Halus Village, Secanggang District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra Province. Previous research has shown that there is much coastal waste, such as Scallop Shells (Placuna placenta), that are not treated, even though it has the potential to help people who are experiencing water crises to get clean water sources. This study aimed to characterize the shells of Scallops and produce calcium carbonate as an activated carbon product to produce clean water. The method used to characterize the mashed scallop shells is X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). In this study, three different sizes, namely 25 μm, 90 μm, and 150 μm, will be compared, and the size and quality selected to produce the best calcium carbonate were tested at different temperatures, namely 800°C, 900°C, 1000°C, and 1100°C. In the x-ray diffraction analysis test, the smallest particle is 25 μm, which has the highest intensity compared to other sizes. The best particle size, which is heated/calcined at a temperature of 1100, has the highest intensity, which can remove all impurities and produce natural calcium carbonate, which is more stable. Based on the study results, it can be concluded that the best calcium carbonate is produced from particles with a size of 25 μm which are calcined at the highest temperature of 1100°C.

Abstract

Fishermen empowerment programs have thus far failed to sustainably improve the socio-economic conditions of fishing families. According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) in 2023, the national poverty rate remains at 9.36%, far from the 0% poverty target set for 2024, with 70% of the poor population residing in coastal areas, most of whom are engaged in fishing. This failure is attributed to the government's lack of preparedness in understanding the actual conditions of coastal communities, as well as the absence of coordination with innovative university research in the design of empowerment programs. The gap between key actors has rendered intervention efforts less effective. This study aims to integrate the Triple Helix collaboration model as an innovative approach to improve the performance of socio-economic empowerment programs for traditional fishing families by utilizing local waste potential into calcium-based product innovation. The research was conducted in two hamlets of Nelayan Village, Medang Deras Subdistrict, Batubara Regency, North Sumatra, using a social engineering approach through the Participatory Action Research method over one year. The intervention involved mentoring and knowledge transfer through socialization, focus group discussions (FGDs), and training for fisher households. The findings show that the majority of fishers live in conditions of structural poverty, with daily incomes below IDR 50,000 and trapped in debt cycles with middlemen. The training and mentoring intervention on coastal waste processing into calcium-based product innovation successfully led to the formation of innovation-based fisher groups, formalized through the signing of an Institutional Arrangement (IA) with the subdistrict government, which was subsequently adopted as a policy. This study not only presents a contextually relevant collaborative model but also offers a prototype of an empowerment system that is collaborative, circular, and rooted in local needs and potential.
