This study was conducted to determine the impact of the lean season on fishermen’s family income and to identify the forms of family resilience in dealing with declining income in Mekar Indah Village, Buki District, Selayar Islands Regency. This research was motivated by the condition of fishing communities that highly depend on marine catches, while fishing activities are strongly influenced by weather and seasonal changes. During the lean season, fishermen experience a decline in fish catches, which affects their families' economic conditions. This study used a descriptive, qualitative approach with purposive sampling to select informants. Data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study. The data analysis technique used the interactive analysis model of Miles and Huberman, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results showed that the lean season caused a decline in fishermen’s income due to reduced fishing activities and difficulties in obtaining catches. This condition affected the fulfillment of family needs, forcing fishermen’s families to make various efforts to survive. The forms of resilience found include economic, social, and psychological strategies. Economic strategies were carried out by seeking additional jobs, involving family members in economic activities, and managing household expenses. Social strategies were reflected through mutual assistance among families, neighbors, and fishing patrons. Meanwhile, psychological resilience was shown through patience, mutual support, and maintaining hope in facing difficult conditions. This study is expected to increase understanding of the forms of fishermen's family resilience in facing the lean season.
