Abstract


It is estimated that from year to year the area of Segara Anakan Lagoon will
continue to decline an affect fisheries production. This condition requires the community to
look for other activities besides being fishermen, one of which is the development of sheep
farming which has been started since 2014 in Kampung Laut. Hence, the research aims to
determine the potential of sheep farming as an alternative livelihood for the people of
Kampung Laut, using secondary data on brackish water fisheries production and sheep
populations in Kampung Laut Subdistrict originating from the Central Bureau of Statistics of
Cilacap Regency. The result shows that the average growth of brackish water fisheries
production from 2011 to 2016 has decreased by 6.30% while the average growth of the sheep
population from 2011 to 2016 has increased by 6.75%. Based on these results, sheep farming
has the potential to become an alternative livelihood for the people of Kampung Laut.
