Abstract

Fishermen are still a profession for the majority of people who live in coastal areas and small islands. Fishermen who are classified as small fishermen, they are still hostage to a situation of poverty that is already multidimensional. One of the factors that encourages small fishermen cannot separate from the poverty is the COVID-19 pandemic, which causes small fishermen to not go to sea and rely on debt for their livelihood. The cost of people’s purchasing power decreases for fishery products, causing small fishermen to not have the capital to go back to sea. If the condition of the COVID-19 pandemic does not gradually improve which causes the fishery supply chain to be hampered, it will have an impact on the welfare of small fishermen. One of the government’s efforts to eradicate poverty for small fishermen is the establishment of marine ecotourism through the regulation of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia concerning Marine Tourism Villages. In the development of marine ecotourism which placed in coastal villages, it is necessary to pay attention to the Tourism Law, the Law on Conservation of Biological Natural Resources, the Law on Coastal Areas and Small Islands and their amendments, the Regional Government Law and its amendments, and. Village Law. The five regulations become the legal provision for the fishing community to participate in the development of marine ecotourism. The regulation on the Management of Coastal Areas and Small Islands regulates marine governance so that it can be utilized effectively and efficiently and provides opportunities for small and traditional fishermen to be able to take advantage of their welfare. Meanwhile, the Regional Government Law and the Village Law regulate the authority of local and village governments in the development of regional ecotourism in their regions. While the direction of public policy in the development of marine ecotourism is contained in the regulation of the minister of marine and fisheries regarding marine tourism villages where the regulation regulates areas that can be designated marine ecotourism, namely coastal villages. When the area has been designated as a marine tourism village, it will be moved and developed by the fishing community which incidentally is the community around the coast so that it will encourage the welfare of the fishing community.
