Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah metode deskriptif dan studi kasus, dimana metode deskriptif digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data mengenai kondisi dan aktivitas operasional  PPN Idi dalam jangka waktu 5 (lima) tahun. Perumusan strategi peningkatan pendapatan masyarakat menggunakan analisis Internal Strengths dan weaknesses serta lingkungan Eksternal Opportunities dan Threats (SWOT). Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa kondisi masyarakat nelayan disekitar PPN Idi tidak jauh berbeda dengan kondisi masyarakat pesisir lainnya dimana pendidikan bukan prioritas utama. Selain itu jumlah pendapatan secara umum masih sangat dipengaruhi oleh produksi ikan serta kunjungan kapal. Strategi yang bisa digunakan untuk meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat yaitu melalui peningkatan efisiensi dalam penyiapan sarana serta prasarana sehingga proses nelayan berangkat dan bongkar muat ikan bisa lebih cepat, menghemat waktu dan biaya. Selanjutnya informasi lokasi keberadaan ikan secara berkala serta mendorong penggunaan freezer beku diatas kapal direkomendasikan untuk dilakukan sehingga biaya melaut lebih murah dan harga ikan lebih tinggi.
