Abstract

ABSTRACT In the coastal area of Pohuwato, Tomini Bay, cutting down mangrove forests to be converted into fish farming area are dominant. During the last 10 years mangrove forest has widely converted into tambak/fishfond. The expansion of this tambak area is widely due to booming migration of people from South Sulawesi. The process is not simple and the local people have been accustomed to sell their tambak area or to lease their tambak to migrants. Uniquely, economic ethos of migrant in fishfond activities is recognized well and accepted by the locals. Therefore, the development of coastal community should consider the diversity of their culture, jobs formation and the appropriate scale of livelihood. This paper examines the development of economic expansion of migrant in the coastal area of Tanjung Panjang, Pohuwato. Keywords: migrant, fishfond area, Tanjung Panjang, economic culture, Pohuwato, Tomini Bay
