Batu kalang Regional Community Empowerment Training For South Coastal Fishermen from Marine Products

Abstract

The community around Nagari Batu Kalang, Pesisir Selatan Regency, is mostly a community with two livelihoods, namely fishing during certain seasons to go to sea and trading during the stormy season which results in the community not being able to go to sea. The biggest problem is the very low level of community participation in coastal area development, which causes local communities to have less attachment to their environment, especially to their livelihoods as local fishermen. The lack of knowledge, the level of education that is still not achieved by government programmes, and the local community still does not have and appropriate technology that can help facilitate fishermen in finding fish for their livelihoods. This community service programme aims to provide empowerment and training to the local community in providing solutions, minimising the problems that occur, especially in the fisheries sector in the equivalent village of Nanggalo in the Batu Kalang coastal fishing area. The method of implementing the community service programme is carried out by lecture methods, discussions with the Logical Framework Approach participatory approach, management of marine products with appropriate technology to keep the quality of fish fresh to the destination, as well as effective marketing methods with the target of the service programme is the fishermen group.
