Abstract

This study examines the livelihood shifts of the community in salemba village, ujung loe district, bulukumba regency, triggered by mangrove forest degradation resulting from logging carried out by the local government for river widening and dredging. The logging led to damaged pond embankments, declining fishery production, and livelihood shifts from fish farming to other sectors. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis used Miles and Huberman's interactive model comprising data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that: mangrove logging degraded the pond ecosystem and reduced shrimp and fish production; mangrove degradation caused social degradation marked by the weakening of mutual cooperation norms and community consensus in maintaining environmental sustainability; the economic impact of income decline pushed communities to shift to fishing, agriculture, and seaweed cultivation sectors; and the absence of reforestacion programs worsened abrasion threats to rivebank settlements. This study uses Ulrich Beck’s Risk Society Theory and Rational Choice Theory as analytical frameworks.
