the coast, expanding fish catch areas, doing side jobs and utilizing family members’ income, utilizing savings, making loans of collectors (langan), and utilizing assistance from the government. Adaptation strategies to climate variability are very important because they affect the level and stability of fishermen’s income. In addition, the income diversification that fishermen have done is a good step to increase and maintain the stability of their household income. The government, in addition to providing boat and fishing gear assistance, needs to encourage fish farming activities on the coast, develop off-fishing and non-fishing activities in coastal villages, and build fisheries infrastructure in coastal areas that support business activities both on fish- ing, off fishing and non-fishing. Direct assistance in the form of cash transfers as well as boat and fishing gear assistance according to the needs of fishermen is urgent because they really need it to survive and revive activities as capture fishermen, fish and other commodity cultivation, and non-capture fishery activities. However, some programs that are considered strategic are increasing the capacity of fishermen’s human resources both in terms of technical skills and managerial capabilities, strengthening fishermen’s institutions at the locality level in mitigating and adapting to climate variability, and empowerment of fishing communities and their families in the development of productive economic enterprises to increase alternative sources of income.
