On the social side, factors such as education, access to healthcare and infrastructure are also serious issues that affect the quality of life of fishing communities. This research contributes to the understanding of the socioeconomic challenges faced by fishing communities in this area. The findings can serve as a basis for designing policies that support welfare improvement and economic empowerment for fishing communities in Nuwewang Village and similar areas. Efforts to improve access to markets, education, health services and capital support could be important steps in improving socioeconomic conditions.
