Fishermengroups are given training for establishing the cooperative legal entity and assistance for preparing the establishment documents. These fishermen group's training and assistance activities are considered effective in solving management problems in a cooperative way by the fishermen group namedKoperasi 64 Bahari Surabaya. The result of this program is the collection of documents for the establishment of a cooperative legal entity at the Koperasi 64 Bahari Surabaya.
