Pemindangan is an effort to preserve and to process fish through salting and steaming techniques. The person who earns a living through pemindangan is called pemindang. Most of the pemindang in Tambaksari Village clean their fish and dispose their waste into the river. This study aims to analyze the importance of environmental education to all pemindang in Tambaksari Village. The research used qualitative methods with a case study approach. The subjects of the study were 25 pemindang and 348 consumers in the Tambaksari village community. The data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, FGD, and document analysis. Triangulation technique was applied for testing the data validity. The data were analyzed through the process of data reduction, data stages, data displays, and data conclusions or verification. The results of the study show that environmental education given to pemindang is very important and it is carried out by providing training and counseling, giving proper memindang techniques, managing pindang byproducts / wastes and monitoring the pemindangan process. High awareness and commitment from all pemindang are required to save the river and to guarantee the hygiene of their pindang fish. It takes time to change the environmentally conscious behavior of the pemindang.
