Abstract

Sasi is a form of local wisdom from the Maluku community that has been passed down from generation to generation and functions as a social mechanism to regulate the wise and sustainable use of natural resources. Sasi has several aspects, namely ecological, social, economic, and religious aspects that are interrelated in maintaining the balance between humans and nature. This study aims to describe in depth the application, role, and contribution of the sasi culture in the conservation of the mangrove forest ecosystem in Amahai, Central Maluku Regency. The research method applied is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, fishing communities, and village officials, as well as direct observation in the mangrove forest area located in the sasi area. The data obtained is analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and inductive conclusion drawing. Sasi serves to limit the harvesting of marine products and forest resources at certain times, thereby providing opportunities for mangrove ecosystems and coastal biota to recover and develop naturally. This practice can serve as a model for community-based environmental management that is adaptive to social and ecological changes in the coastal areas of Maluku.
