The research aims to study and create a database of socioeconomic conditions and determine the dominant factors affecting the income sector of fishers on the coast. Instruments for field data collection included questionnaires and interviews—data collected by 45 respondents, including five people as interview informants, data analysis using analysis of variant with the help of SPSS and Microsoft Excel programs to make flowcharts and equipped with qualitative analysis. The results showed that education had a positive effect (P< 0.01) in increasing fishermen's income. The study revealed three types of fishers; there were significant differences in the number of working family members (P< 0.01). Socially, economically, and the characteristics of fishers, there are differences between fishers in coastal areas and fishers on small islands. Inshore anglers have many options for doing work, both at sea and on land. In the high winds and waves season, coastal fishers can work on areas such as masons, trading, raising livestock, planting and farming. Unlike the fishermen on small islands, for them, there is not much choice except to be a fisherman.
