- Abstract
Malang regency has a natural potential in the form of coast lines and marine products. However, this potential has not been yet managed optimally and has not yet been able to improve the welfare of the fishing communities. The rate of poverty in Malang regency is still quite high and is dominated by the fishing communities, especially in Sendang Biru village. The existence of patron client relations among the fishing communities makes them difficult to develop and frees themselves from the poverty. The local government has made various efforts to reduce the poverty in this area. One of the latest policies carried out by the Malang regional government is the Integrated Fisheries Area. This is expected to improve the welfare of the fishing communities and frees themselves from the entanglement of client patron chains that ensnare them. Ironically, the policy is still top and down, and its usefulness to improve the people’s welfare has not yet been seen obviously. The problem that will be studied in this research is how the implementation of Integrated Fisheries Area in Sendang Biru village is. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative by analyzing documents in the form of articles, news and scientific articles supported by relevant informants to support the data and arguments from the Integrated Fisheries Area.
