The people of Pasongsongan Village Madura are one of the coastal communities which quite vulnerable to climate change. Data from the Sumenep Fisheries Office (local government) stated that production achievements in 2023-2024 were somewhat reduced due to bad weather even though this sub-district received appropriate technological aids and also the System Information Kapal which is cutting-edge application form the goverment. This research successfully explores the vulnerability of coastal communities in the midst of climate change and how they collaborate with governments and institutional agencies through various strategies. This study used the Theory of Practice from Pierre Bourdieu in the concept of Habitus and capital with a phenomenological approach. The data collection technique used In-depth interview, observation and focus group discussion with the source triangulation analysis technique. The results of this study revealed several findings, first, institutional agencies that are established in collaboration between fishermen and the Sumenep Regency government both in the context of bonding social capital, Bridging Social Capital, and Linking Social capital are part of participatory decision making in saving the Madura Strait area. Second, the spirit of "Lebur Alako Ka'Tasek" becomes the resilience of fishermen by implementing Resilience as a recovery shown by the ability of fishermen to maintain the balance of tradition and belief in maintaining the principle of "Lebur Alako Ka Tasek" by preserving the traditions of Nyonson, Rokat Tase and Nyabis. Resilience as a stability can be seen from the existence of client patrons in the relationship between traders and ship crew, while resilience as a transformation can be seen from the existence of a search area mapping system in an effort to find more marine products accompanied by the support of the SI-KAPAL application which helps in navigation and mapping.
