Abstract

The consequences of the insular location, the greatest size and the maritime form of Indonesia caused the survival pattern of the people offshore mostly as fisherman. But the problems that arise from the definition of fisherman tend to be interpreted as people who catch fish, while women who play a role mostly as fish cleaners to be consumed at home or sell it in markets, which are not directly involved in fishing activities, are not taken into account, sometimes not receiving wages in the home business. They are only considered to accompany even just relying her life to her fishing husband. Then the contribution of women fisherman is considered non-existent and adversely affecting women fishermen. This paper describes how the potential of fisherman in the concept of Indonesia’s frontier to see non-physical potential in maintaining the security of border outside the country. This research is a qualitative research by collecting data from literature study through literature review from various scientific articles. Validity and reliability of data is done by reference triangulation. This paper aims to explain the ability and potential of fisherman in maintaining and integrating Indonesian frontier which has not been taken into account of their potential as a key informant and has a significant role in the blue economy. So that gender equality and empowerment of women fishermen in fisheries development in Indonesia is important.
