Masyarakat nelayan di Desa Sungsang memiliki peran penting dalam perikanan tangkap, namun menghadapi tantangan berupa rendahnya pendidikan, keterbatasan teknologi, dan pemasaran hasil tangkapan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui kondisi sosial ekonomi masyarakat pesisir dan merumuskan strategi pengembangan potensi perikanan tangkap di Desa Sungsang. Penelitian dilakukan melalui survei di tiga dusun utama (Sungsang I, II, III) dengan metode wawancara, kuesioner, dan observasi. Analisis SWOT digunakan untuk merumuskan strategi pengembangan. Hasil menunjukkan mayoritas nelayan berusia 31–50 tahun dengan tingkat pendidikan SD–SMP. Armada dan alat tangkap masih tradisional (trammel net, rawai, bubu, jaring insang). Rata-rata pendapatan mencapai ±Rp 3.000.000/bulan. Strategi pengembangan yang direkomendasikan adalah strategi SO (Strength Opportunities) : penguatan kelompok usaha nelayan, pemasaran kolektif hasil tangkapan, pengembangan usaha olahan berbahan udang/ikan, penyediaan cold storage, serta peningkatan peran penyuluh perikanan.  The fishing community in Sungsang Village plays an important role in capture fisheries, but faces challenges such as low education, limited technology, and marketing of catches. his study aims to examine the socio-economic conditions of coastal communities and formulate strategies for developing the potential of capture fisheries in Sungsang Village. The study was conducted through a survey in three main hamlets (Sungsang I, II, III) using interview, questionnaire, and observation methods.
