Abstract

This research explores the development of an entrepreneurship model based on integrated fisheries and coastal conservation to improve the welfare of the fishing community in Mowundo Village, Molawe Sub-District, North Konawe Regency. The study adopts the Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) approach to harmonize resource utilization with environmental sustainability. Field surveys, interviews, and participatory mapping were conducted to identify potential fisheries resources, coastal ecosystems, and the socio-economic conditions of local fishermen.The results show that combining sustainable fisheries practices, coastal ecosystem conservation (such as mangrove rehabilitation), and community-based entrepreneurship (such as fish processing, seaweed cultivation, and eco-tourism) significantly enhances income diversification for the fishermen. The entrepreneurship model developed emphasizes capacity building, market access improvement, and collaboration between stakeholders, including local government, NGOs, and private sectors.This integrated approach not only promotes economic resilience for the community but also ensures the long-term sustainability of coastal resources. The findings are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers and stakeholders in designing sustainable coastal community empowerment programs.
