To understand the adaptation patterns of fishermen to the impact of ecosystem changes, literature reviews, in-depth interviews, observations, and focus group discussions were conducted with local fisherman communities in the coastal region of Padang City. The results show that the fisherman community of Padang City has felt the impact of ecosystem changes such as damage to mangroves and coral reefs due to exploitation of coastal resources and natural disasters. Therefore, the adaptation of fisherman communities to cope with the impacts of changing ecosystems follows a reactive adaptation pattern. They tend to use abilities from within the community. The adaptation pattern is carried out by developing job diversification, modifying the boat fleet, adjusting fisherman times with natural signs, and taking joint actions to rehabilitate damaged ecosystems.
