Marine ecosystems and the resources they contain need to be preserved for future generations. FAO, as an organization that deals with food-related issues around the world, released a good and responsible fishing rule known as the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries (CCRF) in order to maintain and sustain fish populations for the future. One of these efforts is to use environmentally friendly fishing gear in the fishing mechanism. So that the purpose of this service is to introduce, educate, raise awareness and equalize perceptions regarding the use of environmentally friendly fishing gear. To maintain harmony, this service uses the tudang sipulung model. Tudang sipulung is a culture in South Sulawesi in carrying out deliberation and consensus where in its implementation there is no coercion to express opinions, work ethic, and law enforcement. The results obtained from this activity are that Lamangkia Village fishermen use kalampa hooks for fishing gear, and this tool can be classified as environmentally friendly fishing gear. This service went well, it can be seen from the enthusiasm and activeness of the participants in sharing discussions which will certainly increase the knowledge and understanding of the fishermen so that in the future they can realize sustainable capture fisheries to support the existence of marine and coastal ecosystems.
