Introduction
Government policies to raise fuel prices in July 2008
triggered rising prices of goods and push the rate of
inflation so that the purchasing power of coastal
communities, especially fishermen, the less, despite
rising real income levels. Traditional fishermen who
were poor also competing with the fishermen who
categorized semi-modern, modern and heavy weather
and erratic season which disturb their activity. For that
we need a coastal community economic empowerment
through the development of joint business group of
fishermen. According Kusnadi (2009) defined as
fishing community empowerment efforts that were

empowerment comes from the government and society,
and (3) phase emancipator, people are able to find the
strength that he can do reforms to actualize themselves

principal objectives, namely: (1) rising incomes at the
lower level and a decrease in the number of people
who were under poverty line, (2) developing the
capacity of communities to improve the socio-economic
productive activities in rural communities, and (3)
development of community capacity and increasing
the capacity of community institutions, both officers
and citizens (Sumodiningrat, 2000), and carried out
through three directions, namely: ( 1) the creation of
