Kampung Dagho merupakan sentra Perikanan di Kabupaten Kepulauan Sangihe. Kampung Dagho terdapat sarana dan prasarana berupa Pelabuhan Perikanan Perintis dan dua perusahaan penanganan ikan beku, yakni PT. Jassendo Santosa Mandiri dan PT. Perikanan Indonesia Persero. Hasil survei awal diperoleh informasi masih terbatasnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan nelayan dan pekerja di Pelabuhan Perikanan Perintis dalam penanganan ikan melalui sistem rantai dingin. Kegiatan Program Kemitraan Masyarakat Stimulus ini bertujuan untuk memberikan penyuluhan tentang pentingnya penerapan sistem rantai dingin pada ikan hasil tangkapan masyarakat nelayan dan pekerja di Pelabuhan Perikanan Perintis Dagho. Metode pelaksanaan Program Kemitraan Masyarakat Stimulus meliputi penjajakan, identifikasi masalah, penetapan pelaksanaan kegiatan, penyusunan materi dan instrument penyuluhan, pemberian materi, dan evaluasi. Materi penyuluhan yang diberikan, yaitu 1. faktor penyebab kemunduran mutu ikan; 2. penerapan sistem rantai dingin pada penanganan ikan, dan 3. pentingnya sanitasi dan hygiene pada proses penanganan ikan. Dari kegiatan Program Kemitraan Masyarakat Stimulus ini telah berhasil meningkatkan pengetahuan nelayan dan pekerja tentang pentingnya penerapan sistem rantai dingin dan sanitasi hygiene selama proses distribusi ikan dari kapal hingga pada saat proses produksi. Sinergitas antara pemerintah, perusahaan dan akademisi sangat penting dilakukan secara berkala untuk mengedukasi para nelayan dan pekerja khususnya yang beraktivitas di Pelabuhan Perikanan Perintis Dahgo.

Dagho village is a fishery center in the Sangihe Islands Regency. Dagho village has facilities and infrastructure from a Pioneer Fishery Port and two frozen fish handling companies, namely PT. Jassendo Santosa Mandiri and PT. Perikanan Indonesia Persero. The initial survey results revealed that the knowledge and skills of fishermen and workers at the Pioneer Fishery Port still needed to be improved in handling fish through the cold chain system. This Stimulus Community Partnership Program activity aims to provide information on the importance of applying the cold chain system to fish caught by fishing communities and Dagho Pioneer Fishing Port workers. Implementing the Stimulus Community Partnership Program includes assessment, problem identification, determination of activity implementation, preparation of extension materials and instruments, provision of materials, and evaluation. The counseling materials provided were: 1. the factors causing the deterioration of fish quality; 2. application of cold chain systems in fish handling; and 3. the importance of sanitation and hygiene in the fish handling process. The activities of the Stimulus Community Partnership Program have increased fishermen's and workers' knowledge about the importance of implementing a cold chain system and sanitation hygiene during the fish distribution from ships to the production process. The synergy between the government, companies, and academics must be carried out regularly to educate fishermen and workers, especially those active in the Dahgo Pioneer Fishing Port.
