must strive to determine when to go to sea and where the fishing location is. When
at the conditions of bright clouds and calm winds, Bajo fishermen decide to go
to sea; but often they suddenly have to cancel the departure because the clouds
darken and the wind blows hard so that the big ocean waves.
2. Increased Temperature. Climate change in the form of an increase in temperature
is also felt by Bajo fishermen, where the current temperature exceeds the average
temperature in the previous period; even according to fishermen the temperature
can reach 360 °C. The impact of increasing temperature is on health aspects.
Many fishermen fall ill because they are not strong with the heat they feel.
3. Increased Tide of Seawater or Rob. Climate change in the environment includes
the rise of tide (rob). The phenomenon of sea tides currently felt by fishermen
is higher than in previous years. Increased sea tide reaches 30 cm. Sea tides
occur every bright month and are higher in the West Season, compounded by
large waves that bring seawater up to the mainland, suddenly crashing into the
residential area. The increase in sea tides is felt by fishermen which is very
disturbing to their lives, especially in the aspect of housing, especially for those
who have non-stage homes. The resting place of fishermen under the house
becomes unusable. Sea activities are also sometimes disturbed because fishermen
have to evacuate furniture and items under their homes. The rob impact felt
by fishermen is not only on housing aspects but also on other aspects such as
transportation, public services, infrastructure, and health. Educational activities
are also disrupted because the tide goes to schools located around their homes.
4. Increased Storm Intensity. One other climate-related hazard in Indonesia is the
movement of tropical cyclones in the South East region of the Indian Ocean and
East of the Pacific Ocean. This in some parts of Indonesia can cause one of the
strong winds. Strong winds also often occur during the turnover of Munson (rainy
season) from the Northeast to Southwest. Extreme events such as strong winds
known as tornadoes are also felt by Bajo fishermen. These strong winds affected
the collapse of fishermen’s houses, especially houses that jutted into the sea.
5. Impact on livelihoods. Climate change is felt to have an impact on livelihoods.
Bajo people who generally work as fishermen have felt the effects of climate
change on their livelihoods. Climate change affects the certainty of the time of
the sea, changes in the location of fishing, and the reduction in the number of
catches of fishermen. This has an effect on the level of welfare of fishermen.
Climate change is perceived by Bajo fishermen. Changes and shifts in seasonal
patterns have had an impact on the certainty of sea time and fishing locations.
If in the past Bajo fishermen could count the number of days at sea and did
not sail for sure, now they could no longer confirm it. Likewise, with fishing
locations, currently there is no longer a definite location for fishing fishermen. In
general, the location of fishing fisheries is currently shifting further than before.
Changes in water temperature that damage coral reefs have exacerbated fisheries
productivity that has been bad due to massive pollution and fishing, thereby
reducing fish populations.
6. Search for New Arrest Locations. According to fishermen, the fishing locations
where there were originally many fish were no longer showing that, so they had
