INTRODUCTION Traditional fishing communities are people who work as fishermen who use various levels of existing fisheries technology. The livelihoods of fishing communities are mostly in the fisheries sector and the utilization of existing marine resources (marine based resources), namely as fishermen and fish farmers in aquaculture ponds and the sea. Another characteristic is that most of the traditional fishing communities are those who have a low level of education where they are considered not to have higher education to find fish at sea and are more concerned with or relying on their energy and experience (Jeneponto, 2012). The fishing community is also always identified as having the lowest level of welfare. Income is unstable and tends to depend on marine products for a living. This makes fishermen's families always live in the shadow of poverty. The area in Bonebolango Regency with residents whose people are fishermen is an area in Kabila Bone District. The sub-district consists of 9 villages namely; Huangobotu, Molotabu, Oluhuta, Botubarani, Biluango, Modelomo, Botutonuo, Olele and Bintalahe are very long coastal marine areas (BPS Bonebolango, 2020). This coastal marine area, where the majority of the people are fishermen, certainly cannot be separated from problems related to economic limitations, such as low income levels but high consumptive lifestyles, low levels of community education so that understanding of financial management is also low, and consumption activity patterns that are not based on financial needs and capabilities.
