<![CDATA[Besides, professional migration is coping with the uncertainty of climate change, as many fishers have begun to seek side jobs and even migrate outside the region or abroad in order to seek higher and more stable incomes. Climate alteration alters fish catches; thus, it affects the economic aspect of fishers. Scientific research refers to the impacts of ocean temperature changes and changes in fish migratory patterns as the reasons that affect the availability of marine resources. This paper discusses the climate change and professional change induced within the community of Jerowaru, East Lombok, because of the socio-economic impacts. The fluctuating migration flow and climatic factors are the main factors that influence the socio-economic livelihoods of fishermen in Jerowaru. Most of them migrate to other areas for survival; there is searching for a better source of employment. This profession also came up as an immigrant worker in response to the always deteriorating financial future. Younger family members and most fishermen are migrating abroad and to the surrounding areas due to greater career opportunities. These non-migrating people hardly can switch over to other gainful employments and, for that purpose migrate to lobster farms for work or to gardens in order to start some other high-return businesses. The current research has been performed within 6 months by incorporating qualitative data as well as the case study approach. Data collection was done through participant observation as well as through in-depth interviews and FGDs with documentation.]]>
