Literasi keselamatan pelayaran berbasis informasi cuaca bagi nelayan Desa Karang Serang

Abstract

Kegiatan PkM ini bertujuan memperkuat literasi keselamatan pelayaran bagi nelayan pesisir Desa Karang Serang melalui pemanfaatan informasi cuaca dan kondisi perairan. Kegiatan dilaksanakan pada 14 September 2026 dan diikuti oleh 50 peserta. Metode pelaksanaan meliputi ceramah edukatif-komunikatif, diskusi, penyebaran kuesioner persepsi, serta pengenalan kerangka pengambilan keputusan yang terdiri atas pemeriksaan cuaca, kondisi kapal, alat keselamatan, sarana komunikasi, dan penetapan keputusan berlayar. Materi mencakup parameter cuaca dan kondisi perairan, pemanfaatan smartphone dan GPS, sistem peringatan dini, pemeriksaan kesiapan kapal, komunikasi darurat, serta kategori keputusan GO, PERTIMBANGKAN, dan NO-GO. Dokumentasi kegiatan menunjukkan terlaksananya penyuluhan, interaksi antara peserta dan pemateri, serta penggunaan kuesioner sebagai instrumen evaluasi. Namun, data mentah kuesioner serta hasil pre-test dan post-test tidak tersedia sehingga perubahan tingkat pemahaman peserta dan efektivitas program belum dapat dihitung secara kuantitatif. Oleh karena itu, hasil kegiatan difokuskan pada capaian proses berupa tersampaikannya kerangka literasi keselamatan serta tersedianya dasar bagi pengembangan checklist keselamatan, panduan informasi cuaca, format pelaporan keadaan darurat, dan komunikasi kelompok. Pengembangan program selanjutnya perlu mencakup demonstrasi dan simulasi yang lebih aplikatif serta evaluasi sebelum dan sesudah kegiatan yang terdokumentasi secara sistematis.

This Community Service (PkM) activity aimed to strengthen maritime safety literacy among coastal fishers in Karang Serang Village through the use of weather and water-condition information. The activity was conducted on 14 September 2026 and involved 50 participants. The implementation methods included educational and communicative lectures, discussions, a perception questionnaire, and the introduction of a decision-making framework consisting of weather checks, vessel-condition checks, safety-equipment checks, communication checks, and the final sailing decision. The materials covered weather and water-condition parameters, the use of smartphones and GPS, early-warning systems, vessel-readiness inspections, emergency communication, and the decision categories GO, CONSIDER, and NO-GO. Activity documentation confirmed the delivery of the sessions, interaction between participants and facilitators, and the use of a questionnaire as an evaluation instrument. However, the raw questionnaire data as well as the pre-test and post-test results were unavailable; therefore, changes in participants’ level of understanding and the effectiveness of the program could not be quantified. Accordingly, the results were focused on process outcomes, including the delivery of a maritime-safety literacy framework and the establishment of a basis for developing safety checklists, weather-information guidelines, emergency-reporting formats, and group communication mechanisms. Further program development should include more practical demonstrations and simulations, as well as systematically documented pre- and post-activity evaluations.
