Highlights
The potential of fisheries in Cilacap regency is very abundant, where the utilization of marine potential has not been developed optimally, especially in the fishery sector, due to inadequate human resources and limited fishing facilities
One of them is the potential catch of 72,000 tons of fish, the utilization of capture fisheries in Cilacap regency only reaches about 21% (Pancawati, 2015)
This condition is coupled with the geographical state of nature on the south coast of Cilacap where the sea waves are quite high because it is directly adjacent to the Indonesian Ocean
Summary
The potential of fisheries in Cilacap regency is very abundant, where the utilization of marine potential has not been developed optimally, especially in the fishery sector, due to inadequate human resources and limited fishing facilities. One of them is the potential catch of 72,000 tons of fish, the utilization of capture fisheries in Cilacap regency only reaches about 21% (Pancawati, 2015). This condition is coupled with the geographical state of nature on the south coast of Cilacap where the sea waves are quite high because it is directly adjacent to the Indonesian Ocean. Uncertain fish catches coupled with poor climatic conditions cause fishermen to sometimes not carry catches. Fishing woman is a term for women who live in a fishing family environment as wives
