Abstract

It takes two to three hours by road to reach Sei Bilah village located in Pangkalan Brandan municipality, Regency of Langkat, North Sumatra Province. Most people in this village are Malays, who live in poor conditions. The fishers in the village cannot increase their catches due to competition from local trawlers as well as trawlers from Thailand. Besides this, destructive fishing practices and poaching affect their livelihoods too, driving many fishers into unemployment.
