Abstrak
This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of fishermen in Sambuli Sub-district, Abeli District, Kendari City, in utilizing and creating portable coolboxes and implementing fish preservation methods based on 3 C + Q (Cold, Clean, Careful, and Quick). The program involved 10 fishermen, who were trained in both technical and non-technical aspects. The technical guidance included constructing portable coolboxes using simple materials and tools, while the non-technical training covered hygienic fish preservation methods to maintain fish quality from sea to auction sites. Results showed that 80% of participants found the coolbox construction process easy and expressed interest in adopting this technology. With the use of portable coolboxes, fish can be stored at low temperatures without relying on hazardous substances like formalin, ensuring safer and more environmentally friendly storage. This program is expected to improve the quality of fish catches and reduce the environmental impact of using non-eco-friendly materials.
