Early morning, the morning life began in the coast of Pangandaran, Aceh. Along with the rhythm of nature, some fishermen start doing his activities at sea. They started hurrying, racing with the time. Do not let them be preceded by the sting of sunshine tricks and the roll of waves that towering higher. Residents of Pangandaran Beach area is known as a formidable fisherman, because most of them come from Melayu is famous with its fishermen who are good at sea. Only using boats with engines of 5 to 13 horsepower they are able to sail up to 3 Mill far away from the beach. Even able to wade the sea up to 3 days long. The cost required to once go to sea around Rp. 200.000.00 (Two Hundred Thousand Rupiah). Rp. 100.000.00 (One hundred thousand rupiah) to buy fuel, and the rest of it for lunch during fishing.

Panorama Pangandaran beach with waves as high as two to three metter looks really beautiful, especially in the corner of the beach seen some boats on the sand making the natural atmosphere of fishermen's life more clearly visible. Prior to fishing these fishermen also prepare boats and fishing equipment. The dancing waves crashing and blowing seductively. The fishermen prepared to go to sea to push the boat to the shore trying to find a gap through the rows of waves that facing. When perhau float rushing boat engine drove to break the waves.

Earning a living in the middle of the sea, their wives await the catch while cleaning houses, cooking potluck and selling fish catches. In fact there are also working in food stalls around the beach Pangandaran, true life of the fisherman is still in sad condition, like ducks swim in the lake thirst and chickens starved to death in the rice barn. Sometimes the sale of fish is just enough to eat the family daily, so not to reach other needs. Not to mention the other heavy burden they should bear or they bear if the government again raise the price of fuel (Fuel Oil), fuel oil to rise up their suffering even more severe.

Although all day looking for fish in the middle of the sea sometimes the results obtained are not much. Some obstacles certainly do not make them discouraged, they keep the spirit of any fish in its can. They have to return home, the fish catches are sold in TPI (Place of Fish Auction) or in Fish Market. The buyers are none other than the beach visitors, restaurant owners, and the community around Pangandaran beach. Diserpaan gusts of beach breeze, the visitors live devoured fish according to the order preparations. That is the pleasure amid the pulse of the life of Pangandaran beach fishermen, Aceh. Panorama Pangandaran beautiful beach was not as good as the life of his village fisherman. They can only surrender to the Almighty who has nature and its contents.

It should be here is the role of government that must walk for the progress of its special fishermen on the coast of Pangandaran, Aceh. Government through the Office of Marine and Fisheries should facilitate fishermen. Assistance is not just about funds for business but better with facilities for fishermen. Let's say the machines, pajeko, and fish nets. So far, aid from the government is not right on target, because many fishermen really do not enjoy the aid. Not exactly targeted because only fishermen tie or fisherman fishermen who enjoy the help.
