DAMPAK PERUBAHAN IKLIM TERHADAP PETANI TAMBAK GARAM DI KABUPATEN SAMPANG DAN SUMENEP
ABSTRACT: The Ministry of
Marine Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) has proclaimed Salt Self-Suficiency since
2011 and established Salt Producing Community Empowerment Program (PUGAR) under
the Directorate General of Coastal Marine and Small Islands (KP3K) to support
it. This article was based on a research conducted in Sampang and Sumenep
Districts from February to August 2012. Data was collected by using purposive
sampling and analysed by descriptive method. Climate gives huge contribution to
salt production because the process uses evaporation techniques onto salt ponds
that depends on the weather and climate. Rainfall is one of the decreased of
elements that influence salt production. The research shows that without an
adaptation strategy, the rain might cause significant reduction in salt
production. In addition, strong winds and hurricanes destroy the indmills and
salt warehouses; tide high waves damages the ponds; and soil abrasion will
reduce the number of salt ponds. This research recommends an adaptation
strategy based on the knowledge about climate that can be used to forecast the
volume of salt import and to determine the time frame and the amount of PUGAR
needed.
