Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyze environmental changes and modernization of fishing gear for fishermen. This article identifies and evaluates several impacts of the implementation of modernization of fishing gear, particularly by taking a case study on the fishing environment of Depok Beach, Bantul, Yogyakarta. This research is categorized as maritime history research. This study uses the historical method with a sociological approach. The results of this study state that Depok fishermen have experienced several changes in their fishing gear. Those who used to use traditional fishing gear then use modern fishing gear. Characterized by the use of the engine as a means of propulsion of the boat which in turn causes the fishing range to be wider. The influence of modernization has changed the mindset of the fishing community of Depok Beach. In addition, the threat of abrasion is very dangerous for buildings around the coast. Abrasion that occurs is caused by strong waves. Strong waves occur due to gusts of wind from the Indian Ocean. The waves continuously erode the sediment on the beach. The scour will affect the land area and will also affect the reduced activity. The effect of abrasion on buildings is very dangerous and detrimental to the people of Depok Beach.
Highlights
Coastal areas are transitional areas of sea and land
Phenomena that occur on land include abrasion, flooding and activities carried out by the community, namely the construction of settlements, clearing of forests for rice fields, construction of ponds and those that have an impact on the coastal ecosystem
Damage to the coastal ecosystem environment affects the socio-economic conditions of the local community, such as the loss of roads, settlements, land, and public facilities due to coastal abrasion
Summary
Coastal areas are transitional areas of sea and land. This condition causes the coastal area to get pressure from various activities and phenomena on land and at sea. According to Helmi and Satria, the socio-economic impacts of fishermen due to changes in coastal ecosystems are decreased fish diversity, loss of substrate, livelihoods and decreased business opportunities Environmental damage, both in coastal areas and on land on small islands, directly and indirectly, causes damage to fish habitat. Lack of management of coastal areas in the use of resources that are not appropriate, lack of environmental standards, and a lack of balance between activities and physical space causes more severe damage to coastal areas This will have an impact on the economic conditions of people who depend on coastal resources and the sustainability of coastal areas.[2]. Job diversification is an alternative strategy to deal with this reality.[3]
