Abstract

The aims of this study are to analyze the adaptation strategies undertaken by fishermen households coping with socio-economic changes and fishing grounds for those who have been over fishing. This research was conducted in survey in relation to finding general descriptions of various adaptation done by fishermen households. Sampling technique used in this research is Multi Stage Cluster Sampling. The collected data is further analyzed descriptively. The results showed that the patterns of adaptation among the fishermen community to adjust the ecosystem of the marine physical environment and surrounding social-economic environment. The process of adaptation by fishermen households is not only done in fishing activities, but also in others’ work on the ground for household members. The various forms of adaptation carried out by fisherfolk households are basically attempted to maintain survival, by earning income from other sources. Revenues earned are expected to meet the needs of the household properly. Often, the income earned suffices to meet subsistence needs, which require the fishermen to reduce their consumption expenditures.
