The Impact of the Trickle Down Effect on the Program "Kampung Perikanan Budidaya" of the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries on The Level of Community Welfare in Sebatuan Village Pemangkat District Sambas Regency

Abstract

This study aims to describe and analyze the impact of the trickle down effect of the program ”Kampung Perikanan Budidaya” in Sebatuan Village, Pemangkat District, Sambas Regency. Sebatuan Village, Pemangkat Subdistrict, Sambas Regency has a huge potential of marine and fisheries resources with a beach of approximately 60 Km and ponds covering an area of approximately 10,329 Ha, with a total of 10 (ten) ponds spread across 4 (four) hamlets of Sebatuan village. However, it did not have an impact on improving welfare and reducing poverty rates because until 2023 the number of poor people in Sebatuan village still amounted to 67%. The results showed that in general the program ”Kampung Perikanan Budidaya” is considered appropriate because it refers to an aquaculture program that can avoid fish extinction. However, homogenizing one type of fish in one village limits the potential of fish farming that can be developed. The existence of the program ”Kampung Perikanan Budidaya”in Sebatuan Village can increase the income of farmers, but it is inversely proportional to the income and welfare of the community as the location of aquaculture because instead of realizing local economic improvement and creating new economic sources in the fisheries sector in the local area, the program has the potential to cause new problems and conflicts for fish farmers with the surrounding community. Environmental analysis shows that environmental damage occurs due to the entry of aquaculture businesses in the form of waste generated from the process of cultivation activities affecting water quality. Based on these findings to minimize environmental damage, it is expected that the use of chemicals: such as antibiotics and pesticides is done in minimal quantities. It is expected that there is synergy between pond entrepreneurs and the surrounding community in realizing the aquaculture village as a trigger in the economic movement in the village, so that the development of the trickle down effect model can be a new role model for the success of empowerment programs.
