AB  - Along the Cirebon coastal area live fishermen who are generally poor and uneducated. They go
fishing to the Java sea in the evening and go back home early in the morning. During the normal weather they
can bring back fish to to the coast and earn enough money for their families. Unfortunately, in the recent years
during the west wind season, the wave of the Java sea reach >3 m accompany with storms so the fishermen can
not go fishing for 3-4 months and they do not earn money. Another problem they meet is illegal fishing by other
group who come from outside of Cirebon coastal area. In addition, the fishermen also need government
empowerment policies in protection, extension and training service. Collaboration between government and
fishermen and participation of fishermen to government policies are urgently required.
