Abstract

This article deals with two kinds of spesific coastal ecology namely swampy area and the region that has access to the coast and sea for the availability of river waterways. The first type is situated at the estuary with mangrove forest, many ditches and brackish water, whereas the second becomes a unity of cultural area in integrating the settlement, waterway, and the sea. The ecological differences result in the slightly distinct patterns in constructing the social institutions for regulating economic activities of fisheries. However, the two are facing similar oppressed conditions due to degradation of quality of environment in the coastal area, and modern instruments for fishing supported by intensive capital of the fishing enterprises.
