Abstract

Climate change impact such as an increased on the intensity and the frequency of rainfall in the oceans cause sea level rise which then impacts the water surface in the river. This condition has an impact on fishery cultivation in coastal areas. People in Sidoarjo regency are increasingly affected by the alteration of water surface in coastal areas. Sidoarjo region is divided into 5 sub-development areas of one of the 5 sub-regional development units (SSWP V) which are a coastal area with aquaculture fisheries aquaculture economic center.
