Abstract

The Madura island is known as the salt island. This is supported by data from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) in April 2015 indicated that out of approximately 3.2 million tons of national salt demand, more than 60% of it is supplied from East Java (spread over 11 districts), the data also mentioned that, the largest salt supplier (about 60%) in East Java are 4 districts located at the Madura island. The salt farmers consist of the salt farmers / farmers and the salt farmers. The number of saltwater farmers is much larger than the salt farmers / salt farmers. In general, in one harvesting season, for 3 hectares (ha) salt ponds are done by 6 farmers of salt pond. The high level of salt farmers 'salt production in East Java is not followed by the high level of salt farmers' welfare, the farmers working on the salt pond. The results of this study reveal information that the low level of welfare of farmers farmers salt pond caused: the low price of salt people. and although salt production in East Java is abundant (surplus), but the Government still permits import of salt, so local salt production is not entirely absorbed. The results of this study also reveal how to eliminate the conflict of norms and differences of interpretation that occurred in the Law of Fishermen Protection, and eliminate and prevent the destruction of salt farmers in Madura.
