Traditional Fisherman Resilience Strategy to Coastal Pollution Pressure Impact of Tin Mining in Central Bangka District

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the income of traditional fishermen, the characteristics of individual traditional fishermen who have the ability to resilience, the factors that support the resilience of traditional fishermen, and the resilience strategies of traditional fishermen against the coastal pollution pressure from the impact of tin mining. This research used a survey method with a purposive sampling technique. The research was conducted in Bangka Tengah Regency, covering Sampur village, Pangkalan Baru sub-district and Baskara Bhakti village, Namang sub-district. The respondents in this study were traditional fishermen with more than 20 years of experience. Data collection methods in this study included primary data and secondary data. Primary data was collected using questionnaires, observation and documentation tools. Secondary data was collected through a literature study. The data was analyzed using a descriptive quantitative method. The result of the research showed that the average income of traditional fishermen is IDR 300,000 - IDR 800,000 per month. Fishermen have individual characteristics including: Insight, Independence, Relationships, Initiative, Creativity, Humor, and Morality. The factors that support the resilience of traditional fishermen are: individuals (the ability to overcome problems; family (family support); and Community (environmental support to deal with pressure). The strategy of traditional fishermen’s resilience to coastal pollution pressures due to tin mining is innovative and creative. So it is suggested that as an effort to empower traditional fishermen, the government can develop a capture fishery business into a larger business scale increase the income of traditional fishermen.

The application of the blue economy concept for traditional fisheries management in a conflict zone

“…Furthermore, as users, small fishermen are vulnerable due to experiencing the most pressure from the impact of the trade-off (Mardyani and Lindawati 2021). This study also revealed that the allocation of coastal and marine space on Bangka Island, which is dominated by mining activities, has caused various problems, especially for capture fisheries activities (Nurtjahya and Agustina 2015;Manik 2018;Pratama 2018;Bidayani and Hartoko 2019;Ramadona et al 2020;Bidayani and Reniati 2021;Bidayani and Priyambada 2022). In addition, the existence of a marine Mining Business Permit (IUP) adjacent to the location of the fishing area (DPI) causes conflicts with local fishermen (Ibrahim et al 2018;Sulista et al 2019).…”

“…The production cycle system indicates that the traditional capture in fisheries business continuously runs while conflict exists. Bidayani and Reniati (2021) reported that as many as 90% of fishermen can still conduct fishing activities by changing locations, particularly in conflict zones. The fishermen experience difficulty in getting fish, which encourages them to change the catching location.…”

The Participatory Resilience of Waste Pickers at the Bantargebang Waste Processing Site after Land Degradation

“…They have drawn on new ecological ideas that hold that the public's rights, mechanisms, and opportunities for involvement in environmental management have signifi cant implications for its technical processes; this can be seen in Bantargebang, where residents have directly experienced the ecological and social consequences of degradation (Alexander, 2001). et al, 1998;Echols, 2014;Bidayani, 2021). The concept of resilience was advanced by Klohnen (1996), who understood it as the ability of individuals and groups to adapt themselves in the face of internal challenges.…”

Managing Mangrove Resources in Conflict of Interest Zones in Bangka Island's Eastern Coast

“…The remaining tin mining activities produce tailings that are released into the waters. Waste from mining activities is generally in the form of waste containing heavy metals (Adibrata et al, 2021;Bidayani and Reniati, 2021). Tin mining waste, whether from large-scale industrial operations like suction boats and dredges or from small-scale unconventional mining (TI), has high concentrations of heavy metals, specifically lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn) and Chromium (Cr) (Okewale and Grobler, 2023).…”
