Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the strategies employed by the Kelabat Dalam Bay Lovers Fishermen Forum (FNPTKD) as a non-electoral actor in intermediary politics can represent fishermen as citizens through the dynamics of natural resource management in the waters of Kelabat Dalam Bay, Bangka Belitung Islands Province. Specifically, this research analyzes the compromise and contestation strategies carried out by FNPTKD as an intermediary actor. This research used qualitative methods through data collection stages: interviews, observation, documentation, and literature study. The data was analyzed through data reduction, presentation, and verification. This research found that apart from compromise strategies carried out internally, such as fishermen's meetings, as well as evaluation and monitoring aimed at maintaining solidity and the same ideology (vision) of fishermen, this forum also carried out internal strategies in the form of cultivation and conservation as contestation strategies or tool of resistance to mining. On the one hand, this forum also carries out several external strategies, both compromise and contestation, as a form of maintaining the resistance movement, such as a contestation agenda in the form of demonstrations as a form of reaction to the mining activities that are taking place. Apart from that, collaboration and consolidation with the community and other groups were carried out, and there was an advocacy agenda, which was a form of compromise with several related agencies to guide the marine protection of Kelabat Dalam Bay.
