Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explain the economic life of coastal communities in Latdalam village, Tanimbar Selatan sub-district, to describe the marine fishery resource management system in Latdalam village, Tanimbar Selatan sub-district, and to analyze the primary reasons for traditional fishers in Latdalam village, which are still surviving in traditional ways. With simple equipment in fishing activities in the sea. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The marine fishery resource management system in Latdalam village can be seen in empowerment through the development of collective action, which means the development of cooperatives or joint business groups. Only here, the term used is collective action, namely to open opportunities for the community to form groups they want, which are not merely cooperatives or joint business groups. Collective action is a collective action that leads to the welfare of each member. Efforts to develop collective action carried out so far are through the development of religion-based groups such as Islamic boarding schools cooperatives. Groups allied with certain NGOs that do have staff and funds for coastal community development have also been developed. The groups that also received attention were the women or girls group. The application of the Grameen bank model with a focus on fisherwomen was developed in Bekasi and the Thousand Islands in 2000, and in 2001 it was also developed in Saumlaki, West Southeast Maluku. Besides, the collective action of women who process fish is also developed so that they can quickly obtain production inputs and sell their processed products at a better price. The development of this collective action is still premature and requires studies to find forms that are truly useful for society. Some of the collective actions that have developed are not as pure ideas and ideas as the community in Latdalam village. Finally, collective or semi-collective actions such as the people’s core fisheries and business partnerships between the community and big entrepreneurs only bring dissatisfaction to the community and stop in the middle of the road. This occurs because the semi-collective action has a strong influence on the interests of entrepreneurs.
