This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The sampling technique used in this study was saturated sampling with a total of 12 respondents. The results showed that: 1) Empowerment of coastal communities, especially fish farmers in Tondonggeu Village, was not fully implemented by the government. This fish farming business is not a group business but a self-employed business, which means that each community empowers itself. They try to be independent without the help of cooperatives or banks. The government only provides land for fish farming businesses and several times for small trainings about fish farming and others. Furthermore, the fish farmers in these ponds empower their own businesses and manage their cultivation; 2) the constraints faced in the economic empowerment of the fish farming community in Tondonggeu Village, Abeli District, Kendari City, namely: 1) limited capital; and 2) pests and diseases; and 3) the community's efforts to overcome the obstacles faced during the fish pond business in the tondonggeu sub-district, namely: 1) involving the government; and 2) skills development.
