The method used is Phenomenology. This method considered very appropriate to explore and identify deeply the meaning of the form of social action groups of Fishermen. Through this method, it is seen that there is no curtain obstructing objective reality in the fishing community to reveal itself, because the researcher has the belief that whatever is seen and recorded at the moment of observation and interview is the reality that actually occurs in the fishing community. The results of this study reveal that the construction of the poverty chain of Fishermen, takes place in "the duality of the actor-structure through the process of signification, dominance, and legitimacy.
