Abstract

Overfishing is a pressing issue in coastal communities, threatening marine ecosystems and livelihoods. This community service program aimed to enhance the capacity of Joint Business Groups (KUBE) in processing excess fish catches into value-added products like fish floss. The activities were implemented using extension and mentoring methods for the “Melai” Joint Business Group. The results indicate that KUBE members gained skills in managing and processing surplus fish catches. The excess fish was transformed into various products, such as salted fish, fish floss, or other ready-to-eat items. Furthermore, the KUBE's income also increased after the program, opening up opportunities for product and market diversification.

Abstract

Adolescence is a critical developmental stage characterized by significant physical, emotional, and psychological changes, making comprehensive knowledge about sexuality crucial to mitigate the risks of unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted infections, and other high-risk sexual behaviors. This community engagement initiative (Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat/PkM) aimed to educate adolescents in Bakung Village, Ogan Ilir Regency, on the dangers and consequences of risky sexual behavior. The intervention was delivered through a series of village-based lectures and educational sessions. Pre- and post-test assessments revealed a substantial improvement in participants' knowledge, with scores increasing from an average of 60% in the pre-test to 96% in the post-test. These findings underscore the effectiveness of service learning in enhancing adolescent understanding and awareness, contributing to the prevention of risky sexual practices in rural settings.

Abstract

Banyuwangi Regency is a potential area for developing freshwater fish farming businesses in Indonesia. One of the fish farming groups is Santri Fish Farm, located in Tambong Village, Kabat District. This group cultivates tilapia for consumption and koi as ornamental fish. Feed is a crucial factor supporting successful cultivation, but high feed costs, reaching 30–70% of the total production cost, are a major obstacle in this endeavor. Therefore, this activity aims to enhance the self-reliance of fish farmers in utilizing local raw materials as alternative feed, such as fish meal, snail meal, and water hyacinth. The activities began with the preparation of tools and feed raw materials, training on formulation development, practical feed production, and evaluation. The response to the produced feed showed excellent results. Meanwhile, evaluation results indicated a 50% increase in participants' understanding and skills in formulating local-based feed.

Abstract

The Kidztainia 3.0 initiative at SDN Cihuni III was designed as an innovative solution to enhance environmental awareness and sustainable waste management behavior among elementary school students. This program aimed to improve students' knowledge, skills, and commitment towards responsible plastic waste management. Implemented over six weeks at the end of 2023, the initiative involved students, teachers, and community members through three main approaches: (1) interactive narrative-based environmental education, (2) practical skills training in waste sorting and recycling drop-box management, and (3) intergenerational collaboration in environmental clean-up activities. Program evaluation showed a significant increase in students' knowledge regarding plastic types (85% improvement in classification ability) and enhanced commitment to sustainable practices. The success of Kidztainia 3.0, supported by the Pentahelix model (academia, industry, community, government, media), demonstrates the potential of school-based service-learning programs in supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 and SDG 12, and provides a replicable model for other urban school contexts.

Abstract

The PKK (Family Welfare Movement) mothers of KBU Village have been producing an instant herbal drink named "WIRAS" herbal medicine. For over six months of production, the sales volume has remained relatively low, with a monthly turnover of approximately IDR 375,000. This low sales turnover is primarily due to marketing and sales being conducted only on a local scale. Furthermore, the produced items lack home industry permits (P-IRT), which causes them to be considered illegal for sale. This activity aims to provide assistance in obtaining permits and improving managerial systems related to marketing, enabling wider product distribution both offline (direct sales) and online (digital marketing). The methods employed include assisting with business permit applications, marketing training, and guidance in creating social media and marketplace accounts. The outcomes of this activity are the issuance of P-IRT for the products and an increase in monthly turnover from IDR 375,000 to IDR 1,815,000.

Abstract

The agricultural and fisheries sectors in Wukirsari Village remain primary economic drivers. However, traditional fisheries management leads to inconsistent catfish and tilapia harvests and high feed costs, hindering Gapoktan Makaryo Nyoto from maximizing profits. The open-air location of the aquaculture development offers significant potential for utilizing sunlight to generate electricity. This study implements a Solar Power Plant (SPP) as a power source for aerators installed in biofloc ponds. The installation, operation procedures, maintenance, and repair of the SPP were socialized to Gapoktan Makaryo Nyoto members. The installed SPP successfully powered a 100W, 220V aerator, supplying oxygen to three biofloc ponds. Increased oxygen supply is expected to support fish growth. By the end of the program, Gapoktan Makaryo Nyoto members were proficient in operating and utilizing the SPP, leading to improved fish harvests and quality. Additionally, surplus power from the SPP was used for lighting the pond area.
