Abstract

Empowerment strategy is one of the concepts in improving quality, either of human resources or of the economy. The fishing community, as a society that uses the potential of the sea and the sea coast for economic gain, cannot be compared to the economic community in other sectors, such as agriculture, industry, and so on. Empowerment efforts are critical in addressing the problems that exist in coastal communities (fishermen) in order to improve their lives and can be contrasted with other economic sectors. The author's team used qualitative research in this study, with data collected through interview observations and documentation analysis. Data obtained through fishing communities, particularly in Peudada, Bireuen Regency, were analyzed qualitatively with an interactive analysis model, and data analysis was carried out throughout the research process by following the data stagescollective, data reduction, data analysis, and drawing conclusions. The study's findings indicate that the Peudada community in Bireuen Regency's ability or skill in processing the catch so that it has a high value product selling value is still lacking. The lack of empowerment or training provided by the government, resulting in the community's inability to develop the potential for catch commodities with high selling value, lowering the level of community welfare in Peudada Bireuen Regency.
